Re: Latest Gear You've Un-Acquired....

I used a Millennia HV-3D/8 for the first time the other week. It's been in the racks forever, but I always shy'd away from it from just hearing hearsay on the internets, and just stuck with all the Neve, API, Great River, and Trident 80B for preamp options at this studio. I wanted to try this RCA B...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

After almost a decade of hunting I have finally found a Marxophone. More specifically a mandolin guitarophone but basically the same thing. It needs a bunch of work, the end block where the tuning pins sit has started to pull apart, it has some top and back cracks to fix and it needs new strings. It...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Just scored another RE15 as well as an RE10 for $200 a piece. Much more than the $40 I paid for my first RE15 but I'm still happy. My favorite mics.

Nice digs! When's the studio-warming?
I take possession at the end of August. It'll likely be Early 2024 before I'm making music in there.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Wow!!! :!: :!: :!: Really beautiful house! Congrats! New studio build in my future. I'm excited to be moving from a one car garage to a two car garage. Thanks! It's amazing what can happen when you move from the really expensive big city to a not so expensive smaller city 45 minutes away.

Recomend Me a Good Trem Pedal

This feels like a question for vvv but I'd love to hear opinions. I need a good, simple, not stupidly expensive trem pedal. I prefer to get it from the amp but my favorite gigging amp (a Garnet stencil amp) doesn't have it. My three trem equipped amps are all Canadian made takes on Fender designs - ...

Re: Acoustic Guitar Size in a Bass Heavy Mix

The missing equation here is whether the acoustic is acting as part of the rhythm section or if it's a featured instrument. How big and prominent does it need to be in the mix? If it's acting like a percussion instrument then you can pick a bright mic and roll off the lows until it fits the way it s...

Re: Insuring your studio and live gear

You may be able to get a group rate through the union (if your a member) or your songwriting rights association (if you're a member). I did this back when I was running a commercial room.

Re: Monoprice tube mic for $120?

and those tube mics appear to be gone now... The active ribbon is back though and back at the $99 price. Not as amazing a deal as it was at $25 but still well worth the money. I'll bet the tube mic comes back in a month or two. It was $25 at one point??? Holy fuck! Sounds good yeah? I wonder if jus...

Re: The dreaded Pro Tools upgrade

Hey Mike How do you deal with the console/pro tools switching business if you want to do punch ins or something like that? Where you want to hear what's on the track up to a point and then start recording? I've only ever used UA interfaces a few times and while I really like a lot about them the con...
