Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Early 60's Sony SRA-3 Stereo Tube Preamp. Couple 2 channel tube preamp that i'm using for direct instruments like bass, drum machine, synth, electric piano. Wonderful warm, thick sound. it's unbalanced in/out via RCA but that's not an issue for me. These were made for tape machines, they paired wit...

Re: anyone working at 96k?
Your AD16 can do 16 channels at 96k. It uses SMUX over the 4 lightpipe outputs, 4 channels each. However, you need something that can receive 4 lightpipe inputs, for instance: a Ferrofish A32 Dante or such. I actually just did this on a session a few weeks ago. Hard to believe these nearly 20-year-...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
A silverface Vibro Champ which sadly arrived with a farty speaker (replacement on the way), and a Squier CV Jaguar. It took some work to turn the guitar into something playable, but it's pretty solid now.

Re: anyone working at 96k?
I really haven’t ventured above 48K, because I’m most often starting sessions with drums and using more than 8 inputs simultaneously. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I think my Apogee AD-16 (what year IS this?) can only convert 8 channels when using optical at 96k, vs 16 channels at 48k.

Re: iOS tuner apps?
I was also not blown away by the Peterson app (iStrobosoft). It's possible I'm just using it wrong, but sometimes I'd have issues getting low guitar notes to even register as a pitch. I ended getting an app called Pitch Lab, and using its reference pitches to tune guitar, etc.

Re: A 1-mic drum recording has me rethinking so many things
Kick out (4050) ...really? Super-interested, as I have two of these and have never thought about using them on kick. They've become fast-favorites of mine for vocals and rooms and choirs / strings... but I've never put them near the drums honestly. Will have to try that. Yeah! Sounded like a kick d...

Re: A 1-mic drum recording has me rethinking so many things
Today’s experiment was mostly about setting up a knee mic on my buddy’s kit. But also, I recently snagged a UA 4-710 mic pre… so we passed the Miktek CV-4 (in Omni) through a channel of the 4-710 and tracked it with the “slow” compressor setting of that unit’s baked-in comp circuit. After some fidd...

Re: DIY microphones as of 2022
The Groupdiy.com forums are a great source of info. Also, vintagemicrophonepcbkit.com is great if clones are your thing. I built a pair of D-87s, a D-EF47, and a D-47FET.

Re: Recording Vocal Tracks without headphones
I always wondered what would happen if you did a vocal take with no headphones, then recorded a second pass with the microphone in the exact same position and the monitors at the exact same volume, but no vocals. Then flip the polarity of the second take and see what bleed might get cancelled out.

Just got one those cheapo Harley Benton teles. Surprisingly playable right out of the box, and a bit of a looker, IMO.

Re: Tascam 424 mk1 Power Supply
Glad to see you made some progress with the repair! I sent a message to introduce myself after reading about ECH in this thread - Carl sent me a reply the same day. I'd suggest trying again. Speaking as someone who runs a repair business, sometimes messages get lost in the shuffle or get sent to sp...
