That's pretty interesting news.Colorblind wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 11:11 amSad indeed. Grateful to have had Clarence work on a few of my mics over the years. I've got it on good authority that Clarence sold his remaining parts and equipment to Cole Picks Vintage in Nashville, and recommended them over Pitman for future mic repairs. RIP.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
A while back I had to replace my monitors at home. For maybe 5 years I had been using Eve Audio SC205s. One of them had its power supply fail. I had to pay for the repair myself and it took quite a bit of time. The second one started to go so I gave up on them a few months ago and got a set of Neuma...

RIP Clarence Kane
I just learned that Clarence Kane of ENAK Mic repair died this week. He was a really nice man with an incredible depth of knowledge as the last surviving RCA microphone employee. Tape Op did an interview with him in 2016 https://tapeop.com/interviews/116/clarence-kane-enak-microphone-repair/?fbclid=...

Re: VocAlign? or is there something that does this better?
VocAlign is pretty awesome. I've been using it for over 6 years and they keep improving it too. You can use it for all kinds of things. When I first learned about it I downloaded a trial for a bluegrass hybrid project I was working on that had a ton of 3 part harmonies. Pretty good singers also. We ...

Re: Best mics/mic-ing approaches for sax?
if you don't want the sax player to shove the mic in the bell, then you might try putting tape on the floor, or something bigger, to prevent them from moving in on the mic. If you don't they will inevitably (instinctively?) move right up to it, head on... remind them it's not a live show. :lol: som...

Re: amps vs. simulators
yes honestly proper touring amps and cabs are just for show, because any decent venue (even small ones) the crowd doesn't hear the amp, they hear the PA/FOH and those speakers and what the FOH person does. So it's mostly a vanity thing. Even when i was touring i was In Ears and the amp sometimes i ...

Re: amps vs. simulators
Next issue of Tape Op has a long review of the UAFX Guitar Pedals. The amp/speaker simulating stuff seems pretty cool, and I could see building a DI gtr recording rig with these boxes for sure. I love moving air wit am amp and putting up mics, but there are lots of times I'd love to have the sound ...

Re: Reco me some loud cans
I'm not all concerned about bleed from the cans - I'm trying to monitor guitars, bass, vox while playing next to a stoned and strong drummer. The drums bleeding into the cans are loud ... I'm not too concerned with sound quality - what I want is to be able to hear good enuff to play to the bass, an...

Re: Reco me some loud cans
These Vic Firth isolating headphones work pretty good.
We use them to keep the drummer's click from bleeding into the overheads. Sometimes with a singer in the booth who's got them cranked.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
My partner bought a Klark Teknik tube EQ a while back. It doesn't have the sound of our Mercury tube eq (it's fraction of the cost). We thought about getting some mods done on it as it was so cheap. Our tech had made us a little passive "transformer box" a while back and when we were re-setting up t...

We aren't using them in a mastering situation but for full on surgical 5 band parametric they are hard to beat!
