SOLD!

The "glue" factor can come through mixing down to tape, but in my experience this has really only been apparent when I've used 456, 499, or their EMTEC clones of such formulas. When using 900 type Hi-Output tape, you really can't hit the tape without distorting the 2 trk electronics. The ATR stuff i...

I got this 535 when I bought my first LA-4A several years ago. Its a half rack 2U unit just like the LA series comps. A couple years back I purchased another LA-4A and swapped it with the EQ. Last month I gave it to our tech and he went through the unit. Its now in great shape and ready to rock but ...

"Slamming" instruments such as drums, especially snare, to tape = no transients.

IMHO, printing drums with no transients = poor sounding and limp drum tracks

Ya, I've got some atlas and K&M stands that are 10 years old. I think proline stands last less than two years. Besides, before they totally go, you'll drive yourself crazy as you drum mics slowly droop and you can't get the phasey weirdness to end no matter how much you adjust and readjust the stand.

Here is an article I've read: http://www.greenpointnews.com/news/2707/converseon-the-lookout-for-brooklyn-music-all-stars So I guess they're opening a studio 5 blocks away from my place. Seriously though, WTF?!?! Opening a studio that records people for free to hype sneakers is complete bullshit. A ...

Hmmm, Well my western electric era birdcage has standard threads and mounts to a stand as is. Also, as adaptor isn't what's affecting function. I'm not getting the condenser element because the mic was apparently damaged by the prior owner (why I was given it for free). Seems strange if there is an ...

Hi Folks, So I'm purchasing some Pelican cases for three old condenser mics, all with pwr supplys and I'm looking for some feedback. Firstly, I'm pretty convinced the Pelican cases are the way to go. I picked up one and gotta say, its pretty invincible. I got it with the "plick n' pluck" foam which ...

I've got one that a buddy gave me. After soldering an xlr on it and guessing pin 2 and 3, I found that only the ribbon element works... kinda. I tracked some very "AM" sounding vox with it, but haven't done anything in the way of restoring it properly. Curious to hear if people are still reaching fo...

Pitchfork can go fuck itself

You'd need to PM me for pics but I'm in Brooklyn.

Yup it was a mono disc lathe. 6U w/ 5 recovery times. I'd only seen a few photos of them when I got mine from a radio guy in NJ. Most guys wire up an input and output for control of the comp amount and make up gain which is what I did. The stuffs still out there. Ever seen that photo on Dan Alexande...

I'm Selling a pair of On Stage Mic stands. These are the BIG ones with telescoping base and boom. I originally bought these with a pair of Atlas stands (also the big ones), but we have a smallish room and I don't like how much space the On Stage's base takes up. I'm selling these to buy some latch l...

1.) 1073 - May not have a rack of 8, but in OD land it amounts to the same thing and I can't imagine the snr track without it anymore. Nice to use the line ins on mixdowns for some things. 2.) LA3A - the pair I have is always in use. Either limiting drum or other rm mics or compressing the gtrs on a...
