also, if I recall correctly, in that wonderful Senior book, he says the "magic" of some small speakers like the Auratones and the Yamaha NS10's is their lack of a port (giving them better transient response/time coherency, and no port ringing). As snarl points out, that advantage could be missing in...

i wonder if all the people who were excited by the EH pre 5 years ago still using it, or are they on to other pres. can't speak for others, but I still love mine. Still my go-to pre's for all vocals (either using a GT MD1A Shure SM7b). cant find anything else that sounds as Euphonic and present on ...

I have a k-7 in a MCA SP-1. It's the most dark of all the chi-com capsules, too dark for me. Ahh, good to know - you would recommend the RK47 instead then? I only suggested the k-7 as somewhere on the web site they said it fit more easily into the Rode mics than the RK47, but obviously the best sou...

hey Jim Yes, thanks for the info. Not to thread-jack, but any thoughts on if it would be worth trying the RK7 capsules in my Rode NT1's? I love their build quality, they are just a little bright for the usual digital recording. They are also cheaper than a Rode NT2, thus, if i screw up the installat...

I'm curious too, as i have one NT2, and two NT1's I wouldn't mind modding. FYI, in the link for that site, http://microphone-parts.com/rk47-microphone-capsule/ , there is testimonial (right side of the web-page) from two people who did what you are asking about: "Just got my RK47 capsule in, and I m...

here's a couple more tips (I started as a bass player back before Jimmy Carter started building homes): 1. try boiling your strings for 10-20 min in a big pan, then wipe them down with some rubbing alchohol and let them dry overnight. Can really bring round-wounds back to life. Not for very long min...

hey, drumsound, that is a very interesting point, I've been wanting to do more of this "live vocal recording", so far we've only been screwing around, but the "passion" in the takes are much better doing it live. Why do you think overheads and room mics are the best to turn down - is it basically an...

I'd buy that for a dollar!

right... but what is it? maybe we could help if we knew what you were using.

It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is.

Hi Guys Thanks for the suggestions - I am on a PC at the moment, so I'll check out those Windows options (although I do have an iPad, perhaps I could run iMovie on that). Another question, if you don't mind - any resources/suggestions for doing this kind of thing? Websites, books, practical advice, ...

Hey Guys I recorded my daughters musical/play recently, and my wife took a bunch of pictures. The recording turned out surprisingly good (I was running sound one nite, and took some extra channels so I can mix different mic levels to optimal levels). I would like to make a "movie" out of the 400 or ...

Coincidentally, I have been learning "Killing Moon" for an ironic '80's band I've recently started playing keyboards in - good times for 40-50 year old guys. I expect to the youngsters, we will be the equivalent of 50's cover bands were to me when I was 20. But I digress. I think the reason "Killing...

+6.022^23 on this. This is excellent advice for us all.

[editors note - my "want" seems rather trivial trivial now in light of tonewoods post...] Mike thanks for the in-depth review, interesting stuff to ponder (I've been putting off some gear-acquisition until after some more info like this). However, one thing that continues to baffle me is that nothin...

EDIT - whoa, just noticed your post tonewoods - sorry to hear that!

Glad you caught the symptoms in time, and hope you are resting well - they certainly have good health care knowledge in SoCal.
