Pull the power tubes if you're gonna do that. Tube amps HATE not having a load connected.BEARD_OF_BEES wrote:i usually disconnect the speaker just in case..

Re: If you had to part with one of your mics...
I'd get rid of my EV 635A. Not that it's a bad mic; It got left behind by some punk band at a high school gig (when I was in HS!), has scraped off serial numbers, etc. Still works fine, too. I just don't really have a use for it, although I did drag it out recently so I could try out all my vocal mi...

Re: Singer had this forward thinking idea
A mic is pretty safe... bring your own preamp, fuck up and forget to turn it on or something, and immediately you and the FOH are enemies. Not worth the trouble at all.
But personal mics (good quality) are a good idea. Especially if you're one of those people who don't sound good through a 58.

Re: Hating what you hear
It's art! So of course it's difficult and you don't like what you're doing. As long as you're still doing it, hoping to do better, then it's art. Happens in every medium.

I've been using Ardour, which is native to Linux. Pretty good, still not quite done yet.

Re: Homebrew M/S stereo mic
A M/S matrix isn't that complicated... you just need the mid mic up the center, the side mic panned left, and the side mic inverted (polarity) panned right. The overall level of the mid mic controls width of image.

When I managed to fix an old Predicta TV set last year. Probably the most satisfying "ahh... it's alive" feeling I've ever had.

Re: Your new console
It has become my sad realization that it is not the equpitment I buy, the techniques I use, or the people I know that will hold me back as an engineer or producer in this world - it's not having any shiny shirts.

Homebrew M/S stereo mic
The mic-building thread here is big enough, I think... and most of us have gone off and joined the "micbuilders" group at Yahoo Groups. Anyway, thought I'd share some clips recorded with a homebrewed Mid/side stereo mic array, using fairly simple circuits. My plan is to write up something on the ord...

Re: transformer question (kinda off-topic)
Ok well your description clears a lot of things up. I think what your looking for is a buffer. In this case i bet a transformer would indeed work (check out jensens site, good articles) but it will color your tone. Of course, so will a mosfet or jfet, though they are a bit more transparent. Anyways...

Re: transformer question (kinda off-topic)
Impedance is the "load" on a source. Sources only have impedance in that they can drive a certain minimum load... just like amps & speakers. Too many speakers in parallel gives a low impedance, and the amp bogs down trying to drive it. So with piezos there's a very high load impedance needed. Piezos...

Re: CAD Microphones
I've seen E-100's that have the capsule "turned around"... so that you can point them down instead of up. Should be a pretty easy mod, given how the capsule is mounted.thunderboy wrote: A little difficult to position on toms/snare due to the integral mount, but worth it if you can make it happen.

Re: What Did You Work On Today? 5-5-04
Couple odd little internet forum things involving mic building, then I spent about half the afternoon finishing fixing a Rheem "Kee Bass" bass synth from the late 60's. That is one of the most beautiful instruments of the twentieth century. Lookin', I mean, I've never played one. You guys know abou...
