Way back when Nakamichi made condenser mics, I believe the CM300 or something like that. Crown improved on the design and came out with the CM700. They're good mics - nothing exciting. I prefer Oktava MC012 mics over these...

Looking for a good condenser mic that can be powered via battery (for remote recordings, mostly for drum overheads). Anyone with recommendations? I believe some AudioTechnica mics can be powered by batteries. Thanks -

yah I just realized that my band was on the same bill @ Scolari's that night (along with lowcloudcover). I am in bipolarbear...

A.

There was once a reggae band here by the name of

The Purple Hand of Kareem Abdul Jabaar

I had 2 of these, the 15ips version and 30ips machine. I liked the 15ips better overall because of the punch. I can go either way on the dbx nr, sometimes it was cool and other times it was too colored. These machines are very reliable. Highly recommended...

How about

Liquor in the Box

I once ran a broom repeatedly over a naked mannequin for background percussion...


Another one - guitarist punching drunk singer on his bare shoulder to the beat of the song. Close mic'd the shoulder with an AKG D12E for max thud. The guy had to be hurting for the next week!!!

Budgie - 1st album. Still wondering how they ruined it...

I suggest you be patient and do your research thoroughly before committing to this format. There are a few brokers who would be happy to sell you a used multitrack, like Blevins Audio Exchange. The only 1" 12-track I recall is the almighty Scully 280 double-wide monster. I'd not go down that path, b...

San Diego was good for awhile, then totally sucked, and now still sucks but there's a lot of underground talent here, most of whom almost never play out live locally. Gone are the clique-ish aging Rocket From the Crypt Wannabies, the mid-to-late thirty somethings that got marquee shows at the Casbah...

are you guys in san diego? If so I saw you live at Scolari's. Keep working on the recording end. It's trial and error...

You should seek out Mike Kamoo at Earthling. Great room and rates.
16 track on 2 inch analog, and an easygoing great guy. Email me for info...

...and once you get all that squared away I believe there's a cool reference CD out there (sorry - forgot the name). Of course, you'll have to know your CD player's true output level, etc.
