Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
The only downside to 500 series is that you will quickly develop "empty slot syndrome". And it has only one cure.

Re: OH and room drum mic Techniques
My drums are always setup, so for most everything I'm using a spaced pair. I was using a pair of AKG c414b-uls, but last year switched to a pair of Lauten LA220 v2 for overheads. Mainly so I could free up the 414's for other things. The Lauten's are a bit brighter, but they have some filter switches...

Re: Does the DAW interface I want exist?
ASIO4ALL is probably worth trying, otherwise it seems like you are probably at the mercy of the interface driver... meaning, waiting for something from ESI... and that might be unlikely?

Re: Does the DAW interface I want exist?
so is it worth it to outlay 3-4x more cash for convenience / ease of use for the edge case above? I think only you can decide that based on your needs. But are there other software (plugin or DAW routing?) solutions that might allow you to accomplish what you need? I'm not 100% clear if you are usi...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
I don't have one, but saw they were on sale (and would love to have one for sure) -- https://www.locomotiveaudio.com/wt-comp Vari-MU type. There's a Tape Op review and the reviewer liked it a lot. A DBX 160A (or older X, XT) are great for some stuff (like bass guitars). I've got a Lindell Lin2A and ...

sounds like a couple nice scores there. What would you be compressing with said compressor?

Re: Can excessive preamp gain damage ribbon mic?
you can't damage the mic by turning up the preamp gain and the preamp won't affect the movement of the ribbon at all (that's whatever you put in front of the mic that is making it vibrate). I'm assuming you did not have phantom power engaged (although that usually won't hurt most modern ribbons eith...

so if you had a collection of these, and the world was ending I suppose you could chew on these for awhile?

Re: 2 Noisy Studer 169s - Fix it myself or hire someone to fix?
I just did a deep cleaning on a little Mackie mixer (lots of scratchy and intermittent pots). The only reason I mention this is that you can now get the cleaning supplies at most Home Depots. clean it out good, let it dry, then spray the lubricant in the pots (as best as you can) or faders. Let it d...

Re: Your favorite tips & resources on working with tape
I don't know that you are going to find any deep technical tips on using tape in recent Tape Op issues. Maybe back in the earlier stuff? Most of the articles are more about the producers, engineers, musicians and their experiences and less into technical details of how they used tape (there may be s...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I've just been here for 24 years and miss how it was 2000-2010. I'm cranky. . I feel the same way about Austin. . A friend of mine in Seattle was saying music was dying up there - that nobody wanted to hear original music anymore. I see that happening in Austin too. Not sure if it is also the tech-...
