I've been thinking of picking up a pair of these for stereo location recording (like from the mix position at a bar or club or whatever). Has anyone used them for this purpose before?

The session went great! Thanks all for your input. We were recording at a guy's house with a really nice grand piano. The highlight of the day was when the 87-year old grandpa, who used to be a USO singer in the 1940's, ambled into the room (between takes thankfully) and announced that hewanted to s...

Maybe if you don't have enough interesting letters to run, you could print a "Best of the TOMB Topics" after the letters or somethin'.

I was reading the letters in the recent issue just the other day and thinking, these cats should just be posting to the TOMB...

+1 on the PPA LD-3. It has 9 different patterns between omni and figure that are all really versitle.

Aw.. the rolling-eyes smiley was supposed to denote that the last statement about worrying about clothes was humorous exasperation. I'm not actually worried about that. On a related note, I love that part in the mixerman chronicals where he's trying to decide on what to wear when the film crew is in...

So up to this point I've only recorded close friends, you know, people you aren't too worried about looking like jackass in front of. Tomorrow I'm going across town to record a jazz pianist/vocalist duo on-location, and I'VE NEVER MET THESE PEOPLE BEFORE! I'm a bit nervous. I'm confident in my abili...

I'm considering printing some Protools mixes to 1/4" tape on an old 2 track machine, to sorta soften them up and get a little analog funk on them. I'm hesitant because: My tape machine is an old Sony TC-580, with a max speed of 7 1/2 ips. To my ear it really eats the high end of whatever is going in...

Man, so many awesome ideas to ponder! One trick that you might dig on... I recorded some horns for an album I did earlier this year, and due to scheduling issues, I was unable to record it as a section (how I would've prefered). I was forced to record each player separately, on different days... Any...

Thanks for all the responses guys! Snarl, I think you're right: Having more options come mixdown is probably the best idea. These are just overdubs, the basic tracks and vocals are done already. The music is very 70's reggae. Kind of a mish mash of all the popular Jamaican styles, a lot of one-drops...

Hello all, Long-time lurker, Frist time poster! In a couple days Ill be tracking a horn trio (sax, trombone, trumpet) for a reggae project I'm engineering for. I won't have time to try out different mics on each horn, as we have to track 12 songs in a couple hours. I'll pretty much have to just thro...
