I'm in a situation like this now and it's starting to iron itself out. The difference is that after the first session, I was already worn. I went in expecting great things as the "lead guitarist" was a good friend of mine and a great musician. He was pumped about it (the band is about 12 to 15 years...

I got a pair of Symetrix SX201s. Anyone have those? They only have 1/4" inputs. . .and 20db of gain. . .figure they're not so useful on their own (anyone care to debunk that assumtion?), but could possibly be useful as EQ or another 20db of gain after my 202s for ribbons? Anyone use these? Opinions?...

Re: Symetrix Power Supplies

So i've got 4 symetrix units. 2 SX202s ans 2 SX201s. The 201s state on the back that they require 16VAC/200mA. The 202s just say 16VAC (i assume a simmilar amperage). My first 202 (modded with some upgrade components) came with a Tamura wall wart outputting 16.5V/600mA. The second (untouched) 202 c...

It sounds like sibalance is the issue here. He liked the recordings done with the M147 at the other studio but he doesn't like the recordings made with your OktavaMod 319 and Ribbons? He thinks they give him a lisp? He likes the Rode but you find it harsh? Sounds like he wants a super bright high-e...

Neumann M147

So i'm in the middle of recording a singer/songwriter right now who INSISTS that he has a lisp in the recordings. We've discussed it and agree that maybe he's not describing it correctly because nobody else is hearing this lisp. He claims that in another studio that he sometimes records at he does N...
