Eric, do you have any sound clips or tracks you can share featuring the M1? I've been lusting after one for a while and would love to hear another example of how they sound. The M1 seems to be an eclectic choice.

Nice cover this week by the way. Beautiful vox.

vox on my cover this week are with the M1! i just got it and it's really
the only thing i've used it on. i did the 1st vocal with acoustic also both
with the M1. the thing is beautiful. i gotta try it on some more stuff this

Really diggin' my new Rode NT1-A mic and EH 12AY7 preamp combo. Just did my first tracking with those 2 and they play really well together on violins. Haven't tried vocals yet, nor bass and guitar, still need to buy a DI box, now looking into the Avalon U5 as I hear nothing but good things. More money but it's an investment as I looooove tracking bass.
