hey all. i was hoping some of you folks might have some experience with, and could offer some of your opinions on the T.H.E. series of mics/capsules. i'm looking for a nice SDC or 2 for Ac. guitar and overhead duties and from the literature i've read, they seem like they're pretty sick. i like the i...

the Charter Oak 538 that i have sounds really nice. very 3 dimensional. i've only tried it on ac. guitar and vocals so far, but have been very pleased with the results when going through my EH12AY7 or Hamptone tube pres.

i got nothing audio related. :( i did get a sweet digital camera and a sick special edition of Reservoir Dogs . comes in a tin gas can and the DVD cover is a matchbook. i'm going to buy myself something. 8) A Barnes and Noble gift card is getting me Home Recording Studio: Build It like the Pros. Roy...

there is a junk shop somewhere in north beach that always has some interesting nuggets in it. I can not remember exactly where it is, or what its called I can't remember the name either, but I know it is on Green a block or two east of Columbus, on the South side of the street. We don't have much i...

any cool music shop is good, just a bonus if they have some cool recording stuff too.

i'm heading out west in a couple weeks, and was wondering if any of you bay area folks have any recommendations for a cool shop in SF to check out some gear.....

for my death-metal/grind/sludge stuff i keep it real simple: Gibson SG (faded) --> Boss NS-2 noise red. --> Boss TU-2 tuner --> Marshall DSL100 --> SM57 + e609 --> pre (varies based on location) --> PT for the mellower, instrumental, doom, jazz, rock, etc. stuff: early 80's Gibson SG 61' re-issue, o...

the song is now posted on the dude's myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/michaelgaydusek the name of the song is "The Way It's Gotta Be". the Bukowski stuff is at the end. download them if you can so they sound better. if you're at all into hip-hop you should really listen to all the songs. really ...

"you can now make many common changes on the fly. Go ahead. Add or remove tracks; add, remove, or copy inserts and sends; change a track?s I/O routing; re-order tracks; and make other changes without having to manually stop playback."

that's pretty cool.

That looks like a nice one. any others have experience with this?

i had my buddy's hamptone pre for like four months and i loved the friggin thing (has a DI input, polarity switch and phatom all on the front). i can't speak to the great river pre some folks have mentioned though. but, for $2000, you could get four channels of hamptone! that wouldn't suck. i just ...

so i just finished recording one of my better half's new songs.... ac. guitar and vocals using a Charter Oak 538 on both, and holy shit it sounds amazing. i'm so thrilled about this pre and the CO mic now.

i'll try to post a clip if i can find a host site somewhere.

Yeah...I think that's basically what it amounts to. Truth be told....I try it both ways whether using xlr or 1/4". Scott's preamps really react well whether you're hitting them hard or going for safe so I try to see which way the sounds hits me the best....DAMN the rules! :wink: As far as saturatio...

just got my Hamptone HVTP2 in the mail (hooray!!!) and i'm going to try it out tonight... i just wanted to check on something, with those of you who own one.... since the pad switch says "mic/line" on it, i'm assuming that that means when the 1/4" jack is in use, it acts as a mic/line switch, but wh...

i'm using a G4 powerbook with the 002r and an external lacey drive. i plug the drive in using the FW800 port on the mac, and the 002r using the FW400 port. if your laptop doesn't have both FW800 and FW400 jacks on it, you can hook the external drive up to the 2nd FW400 jack on the back of the 002r. ...
