anyone got some critisicm for this mic. the price of it looks nice to me but im curious if it has any major faults in design or anything lacking in its performance

haha rad!!! ive been listing to this stuff for a couple months now, great that others have checked it out. i was curious if this is members of HELLA? the drummer sounds just like the guy from hella. if you havnt heard hella and like the way the advantage band sounds be sure to check em out. badass 2...

ive been lookin on ebay and see em goin new for round 350 but i know theres a better deal to be had than that so anyone got an extra re20 layin around they wanna part with?

so what aspect of the vocal is it missing? no mic is as sensitive as the human ear and wont be able to replicate what your ear hears. the trick is to find the mic which best acentuates the tones and timber of the source you want to be expressed. so it would help if we knew where the tone was lacking...

so im playing back a take and i notice a mild burning electric smell. i think ah the heater is acting up and unplug it ( a little space heater deal). i look up and low and behold there smoke coming out of the damn headstack of my ms-16. i jump up and imediatly push the power. now the question is... ...

i run a small studio with 76charger in bellingham, wa. to make ends meet during slow times i do sound in a crappy little club. i also play in a few bands around town.

DO IT!!! what you are considering is the exact route i took in owning and operating a studio. even the gear you are using is comparable to the stuff i started with. over the last 3 years i have had many projects, learned a ton about engineering, learned a ton about running a small business, increase...

i collected rhodes pianos for a while and tried recording them in various ways but the best way i found was to do exactly as soundguy stated. i split the rodes with di and use a princton reverb amp. squash that di signal as the high notes tend to be predomenatly louder. also it helps top get online ...

are you refering to the huge fuzzy tone of the trcks in general or the tone of the acoustic guitar specifically? theres alot of fuzz bass on the neutral milk hotel albums which give the whole album the warm growly feel. aeroplane over the sea is by far one of my favoritly produced albums ever. to ba...
