Since last post, sold some things and built a pair of CAPI VP25's, bought a Neumann KM84 pair, AKG C451EB pair, AEA RPQ stereo preamp, a Danelectro baritone, EQD Park Fuzz, traded for a Devi Ever Soda Meiser, and upgraded to SoundToys 5.
Woo!
Digging around for a good deal on a Neumann U87 or FET47 Reissue or a pair of Josephson e22s

Got some GC gift cards for the holidays so I celebrated the last day of the year by buying a Novation Circuit. So far I'm really digging it. I only just got to start playing with it about an hour and a half ago, but I got totally lost in it and I am already picking up the basics pretty quick. I can't wait to plug this thing into some of my other myths and have it sequence them as well as the internal sounds.

Got a pair of those MXL R40 ribbons that were on MF's SDOTD. Maybe not the greatest mic in the world, but I like them. I mainly got them to have an alternate pair of drum mics, but surprised that I like the way they handle my voice, and so far the best mic I've heard on my 7 string baritone acoustic (tuned down to G#). One mic has what looks like a well tensioned ribbon, the other one is a bit loose?you can see it physically moving but it does not touch the mesh. Did not feel inspired to retension this one yet.
Also filled up my vintage 1st gen iPad with some apps?Audiobus, iMS20, iPolysix, iElectribe, Samplr...
Also got a Paul Vo Wond in the mail a few weeks ago from his Kickstarter, been playing with that.

Quick mods on them ribbons (besides tightening the ribbon by loosing the mount screws on one end and using masking tape to stretch it) is to remove some of the windscreenage (needle-nose pliers worked for me on my MXL's) and even easier, stuff some rags in to the body.
FWIW, I love ribbons for M/S guitar (usually paired with some variant of a 57, lately one of a couple different old AKG's) but have found the MXL860 the most convenient for its size in my li'l bedio.

Hmm I'd not come across anyone suggesting the use of masking tape to stretch it. Sounds easy. I just didn't think the sound was bad enough to warrant the hassle. I had seen some people removing mesh, but some other folks said it made it worse?so I was up in the air on that.
Honestly not a huge fan of M/S miking, mono compatibility be damned, it tends to make me feel like my brain is being pulled out of my ears when I've tried it. Blumlein though, I remember liking, but its been awhile?

I found masking tape to work well because it doesn't stick too hard to the ribbon if you just kinda set it on the very end of the ribbon with minimal pressure. Then you can actually attach the other end of the tape to the motor frame, and then screw it tight, hopefully with the tape not in it.
I like to use M/S on rhythm guitars, or on the lead, seldom both. If I do on both, I play with the panning and width.
OK, back to the regulary scheduled GAS thread!
Eh, I got nuthin'.

Continued the guitar pedal craze I've been in, but let some go as well. Picked up a LA-2A at a very nice price today...first of hopefully several big purchases this year. Grabbing a '75 Fender Princeton Reverb on Monday at an insanely nice price...not that I really need any more guitar stuff

While I don't have that particular model, I have a couple of the fiberglass Senn's in the 500 series. They are some of the best dynamics for vocals I've heard, kinda condensor-like.A.David.MacKinnon wrote:Just got a bag of old cables from a friend who was cleaning out the closets. There was also a Sennheisser 735 in the pile. Looks like a stage vocal mic. 90's maybe? I can't find any info online beyond the manual.
Anybody have one? Do you like it on anything?

Interesting. The 735 is fiberglass as well. I start work on new project next weekend. I'll have to give it a go.vvv wrote:While I don't have that particular model, I have a couple of the fiberglass Senn's in the 500 series.
