The Tape Op Ribbon a few years down the road, how U use it?
The Tape Op Ribbon a few years down the road, how U use it?
Well it been a few years now and I still own 3 of those group buy Tape Op Ribbons.
Though I use one all the time on mono drum overhead I discovered the killer application (for me at least). Recording live. I like to have one up close stage left, one stage right and one over the drums. If you have a nice room you can get great ambiance from the figure 8 pattern, I recorded 2 show's like this and really love them for whatever they cost (like under $100) also great on vibes.
here is a show I recorded of my experimental band LYDSOD at Issue Project Room in NYC posted on the WFMU free music archive.

i'll say it -
i got one used here off the forums -
and i wish i had 5 more!
i use 'em anywhere i'd imagine using a rca 77 -
which is pretty much everywhere except as a kick and snare mic.
toms, overheads, guitar, upright bass, vocals, percussion, organ - it's been absolutely everywhere.
it's my swiss army knife - always sounds exactly how i want it to!
(that and my beyer m260)

What Cinemag's did you swap in?
I have a pair of those tapeop ribbons that I got used and they are kinda off the radar for me.. maybe I should pull them out again and give them another chance.. especially since I have some new pres to experiment with. I think the Purple Pants might be just the ticket..
