Re: Heritage Audio Britstrip
I got a good deal on a Brand new Neve DPX for £1197 per channel $3034 for Two Neve Pre amps and EQ Leaves me extra money for more hardware or another mic. So just need to check out those compressors suggested to compliment it. I figured I can also add another Bus EQ down the line…. What compressors...

Re: Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?
I'd look for listings to see if anyone else is in the same boat, to give you an idea of what they're going for. If you're not the handy type, I'd suggest selling them as is/ for parts. You'd probably spend more on a tech than you'd be able to sell them for. But, there are probably folks out there wh...

Re: Your favorite tips & resources on working with tape
There is a tape calibration article in one of the early years of the magazine. It's a basic 'how to' of setting levels and bias. I don't remember if it gets into azimuth and such. Understanding the actual real estate of a multitrack machine is important. You have to plan certain things in advance so...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
I often use my console pres for everything, save for vocals. But I've actually used my Great River MP2 a bunch lately on guitars and it's sounding great. It's one of the old white faced model that Dan Kenedy said became too expensive to continue producing. There is a 2 channel and a 4 channel on Rev...

Re: Heritage Audio Britstrip
FYI Sweetwater has a demo for $200 less than regular price.
It looks like a pretty cool piece.

Re: Best mics/mic-ing approaches for sax?
I don't like micing the bell of saxophones, because it's often a pointy sound. I like an LDC or ribbon miced from the player's right side where it's getting the sounds coming from the places air escapes from open pads and the off axis bell sound.

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
If you can either make an offer, or go a little over you $2K limit there is a Great River MP4 on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/73012975-great-river-electronics-mp-4-microphone-preamp-4-channel-rare-awesome That's the original GR, not the 'Neveish' model they currently sell. I have the 2 channel ve...

Re: Drum OH's, only
Ribbons are really good for that type of capture. They pick up the beefy toms in a really different way than condensers.Colorblind wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 7:49 amI'd say Coles 4038 as well. But yeah, pricey. The first time I put up a pair I couldn't believe how big and full the toms sounded. No close mics required.

Re: How to structure a multi-part session
It's more efficient and budget conscious to spend time setting up and then working on getting basics for multiple songs. As you mentioned, getting phase relationships and tones for drums is quite time consuming. And learning the space as you go will have its own bit of challenge. Ultimately, you may...

Re: Drum OH's, only
There's a million ways to go on this. What does the space sound like, what type of drum sound are you looking for and what kind of money do you want to spend? Some inexpensive but good sounding options include sE X1R ribbons, Muro Acoustics AC-7 SDC (I've not tried their LDC the AC-8 but am tempted)...

Re: MD-421 clip lock
A couple years ago John B reviewed a commercially available piece that locks the 421 clips in the Magazine. my 441 is missing the clip. meant to find a replacement but I have been using some shockmount thingy probably meant for an SDC... but it sorta works. There's now a clip made with a square hous...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I'm not sure if I posted this, but a few months ago I bought a pair of Muro Acoustics AC7 SDCs and I quite like them. I've been using them a lot of overheads, and I really enjoy the imaging. Recently they sounded quite nice on acoustic guitar as well.
