Did you use a screen?
Try the RODE NT-2.

Moving Company might be able to add it to a current move headed east to west.

I had some furniture moved from Pittsburgh to Illinois in that manner.
My cost was reduced because it was "tag along".

Cant help on the Tech 21 price. E-Bay perhaps? Used equipment section of music store? Saw a Pignose G40V in MusFriend. 10" speaker. 40 watts RMS. 2-6L6 tubes and 2-12AX7's Can also power 2-12"s. I saw John McGlaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra at a concert years ago and he played through an origi...

A guy I have performed with a lot uses one of those wind-up reels (similar to a garden-hose reel). He winds one up, connects the XLR jack of the first one to the XLR of the second one, winds it up, connects the XLR jack of the second one to the XLR of the third one, winds it up, and so on. He unwind...

$300 can get you a pair of NEW AKG C-1000's with which you might be able to do stereo recording plus much more. Theyre sort of a mid-sized diaphragm mic (as I have heard it called) and may work better with some straight on vocals plus they are nice for guitar amp cabinets, instruments, and some holl...

This is a really loaded question with many answers. How many vocalists would you have singing at anyone time? ie how many large diaphragm vocal mics would you need? Those could be your biggest expense right off the bat. 2-3 of those in a low to mid price range could get you up to $300-$1000 very qui...

See my Johnson J-Station post. Plug the J into your effects return on the Gorilla amp (if it has one) and let the J be your multiple amp "pre". It may also by-pass all your electronics problems plus give you 3 band eq plus a gain pot, a level pot, and a master pot that could provide for some interes...

I just received a Musicians Friend Catalog today. They are selling the Johson J-Station for $99.00. To purists, this is certainly not up your alley. However, I've read a number of articles that have given it the "Best Bang for Your Buck" ratings. I've had mine for a couple of years and have a blast ...

I agree with Marty! Learn your machine (Tascam), how to ping pong, etc. and push it to the limit try different mic placements Distance/different rooms/etc. BUT whatever you do, make it fun!!!! "If I could do it all over again" one thing I would do though has to do with microphones. I started with a ...

In regards to microphones, see the last 2 issues of Recording Magazine as their primary articles have been specifically on microphones. Also keep asking questions here, a lot of knowledgeable folks on this board I've noticed being a fairly newbie kinda guy... Read, Read, and Read!!! A friend of mine...

My friend just bought the Fostex PM-1s at $349/pr with his new Yamaha AW16G and they sound nice for a one time listen. Not as much bass response as my ALesis M1's. :roll: From the Web: Fostex PMO.5 $299 pr Alesis M1MK2 $349 pr Yamaha MSP3 $299 pr (Small 4" woofer) Roland DS 30 $392 pr (Digital) M-Au...

My DAW home studio is just as real as some that I've seen and maybe even better. And it's not a phenomenal set-up either. I don't think that the "Big Studio" will ever become obsolete but with the ever quickening pace of advancements in electronics, especially in computer assisted audio recording, I...

Try recording things in different rooms! Bathrooms are fun. Record with shower curtain open, then try it with shower curtain closed. Flush toilet in middle of song! :D Put source in a long hallway and then record with mike at varying distances away from the source or multiple mics at different locat...
