http://www.mercenary.com/tatrmosmands.html consider this, for less money still. my brother has a 58 that we use for rock shows and rehearsal. he wanted something with a better sound but wanted to keep the "indestructibility" of the SM58. i put one of these TAB transformers in his 58 and the differe...

That's not the first time I've heard the dynaudios seem fatigueing, and I'm really loving the idea of the ribbon drivers Adam is using. But it's true the longer I wait and read reviews that confirm my pre formed preference for Adam.... In interest in objectivity I should do just that and talk to a d...

i know i must have done fewer professional projects than you all but, isn't making samples pretty standard in a case like this? i think my e-mail saying "mastering is done, come check it out" would include a link to, say, the first half of a song? or, the last time i did mastering over the web i sen...
