Re: UAD Spark
I've been begrudgingly using it because I don't own a satellite and sometimes I need to mix away from my home-base and can't lug around my Apollo 16. It's been helpful, but I feel kinda dumb paying for it. If they release the ATR-102 for it, I'll feel better about it. I think it's cool for folks tha...

Re: Hot tips for recording a mandolin?
Mandolins, like all stringed instruments, have loud transients. It is important to use a recording chain that can capture those. Look at your mics, see their spec, use the one that is "fastest" at transient response. A SDC or LDC should do the trick. As to the mic preamplifier, same thing, try to u...

Re: My poor hears are getting old
My right ear is more sensitive to upper mid frequencies. Most likely from standing in front of a Marshall full stack for years (with ear plugs, but still). It affects where I pan certain things and sounds like clanking dishes or air breaks or loud beeping sounds make me want to die a little bit, but...

Re: I don't need another ribbon...or do I?
I just have an m160, and I'm torn between getting another one or getting an m130. I suppose the m130 would offer more options, but the two m160s might be nice for drums overheads. Then again, m260s on s jecklin disc in front of a kit is probably pretty sexy too. Haha, now I remember why I stopped r...

Re: My two-tone m160
Clarence Kane does it too. I emailed him about it last year. Different ribbon but he said "I've had no complaints"

Re: My two-tone m160
It was about a 3-week round trip, not bad. And my job, including replacing the xlr input, was about $350. If you just need the ribbon motor done I’m sure it would be less. They replace all the guts now. You essentially are getting a brand new mic when you send it in for service. Apparently the diff...

Re: Building a DIY plate
oh well, in the meantime, I just put an EQ with the plate (to roll off some lows for sure). Has there been talk of a more fully featured version? I honestly think that the genius of it is how ridiculously simple it is. The built in HPF is usually good enough for me. I like to put the Echoboy Jr. in...

Re: DI bass and guitar
I bet you could get someone with CAD software to make a 3D-printable part for you. I could even print it for you. We have 2 3D printers at the library where I work.

Sadly, I've never been motivated enough to do the hard work of turning them into mics.

Re: DI bass and guitar
+1 Not only do I love it as a straight DI (and as a mic pre), but I like to run AIAB pedals into it. It seems, to exaggerate what I hear as the effect it has, to smoove out the signal, take off some of the fizz or whatever ya wanna call the unrealistic top end some pedals give. My only gripe is the...

Re: DI bass and guitar
I may have already posted this, but this thread is too long for me to check... Hamptone JFET DI made me actually like DI's. I dare say it's the closest to an amp sound ( in context ) to any of the other's I've tried, which isn't many. GT Brick is pretty sick too and doubles as a really good mic pre.
