Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Wow, thanks for asking/listening to the track. Question: did you think the vocal sound on Picard’s Flute was good? That vocal was tracked through my Toft ATB16 (mic was a Miktek CV4)
So far I haven’t had the chance to pop the Miktek into the Shelford yet, but I’m excited to.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
You’ve got a great voice. And guitar playing sounds definitely influenced by Gilmour.. But yeah, the vocals sounded good to me. You said the Sheffeld was making your voice sound better than it ever had. No matter what we are using, we give it our all in the take, in the track. To have a mic/pre pick up more of the nuance is always awesome. What was that big hit for Floyd when Waters left and Gilmour was the main vocalist. His voice just kind of rips out of the darkness and is surreally present. I hope the Sheffield gives you that.alexdingley wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 6:22 amWow, thanks for asking/listening to the track. Question: did you think the vocal sound on Picard’s Flute was good?

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Thanks much! And My guitarist (who's not on this MB) will greatly appreciate the comparison. As for that post-Waters track... I wonder if you mean "On the Turning Away". That's a tune I really love, in which the vocal just jumps out of the dark synth pads.shedshrine wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 8:52 amYou’ve got a great voice.

Enjoy your new studio digs! I'm enjoying watching the build-out... and I'm a couple of years away from renovating my garage into a studio space too.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Finally bought an EV RE20. Total impulse buy, but I've wanted one for a long time and got a decent deal on a factory repack.
Also bought an Undertone Audio Vari-Cap cable. Pricey for a cable, yes, but I just did an A-B comparison with 4 different TS cables which I use regularly in my studio and was blown away by how different they sound from one another. The Vari-Cap can pretty much sound like any of them.

I got my late buddy Lou Whitney's Vocal Stresser.
Super excited about it. Loved using it at his place in Springfield, MO.

My go-to mic. Used it for everything from drum area mic to piano to guitar to vox (duh), amp mic'ing, field recording....Colorblind wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 3:26 pmFinally bought an EV RE20. Total impulse buy, but I've wanted one for a long time and got a decent deal on a factory repack.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Picked up some cheap soundproofing off of the craigslist. A couple of 2 by 4 wall panels plus a funky homemade bass trap for $50. Makes a big difference in my current space.
Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Dr. Green OctaDose octave pedal. I like the envelope version better; this is about one sound with variations of intensity and blend.
I suspect it will be great for live playing, as it never sounds extreme, and always sounds good with excellent accuracy (no glitches).

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I always wanted one but did end up with an RE320, which is more or less a transformerless version. I like it a lot on floor tom, and it is good on bass and vox. I often pair it with the Senn MD421 II, which is to the 421 as the 320 is to the 20.Colorblind wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 3:26 pmFinally bought an EV RE20.

I typically limit myself to used gear, and used RE20's seem to often have issues ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I broke down and bought one last year after discovering that it's pretty much the only mic that doesn't make me hate my voice. It does a wonderful job of handling all my sibilance while still sounding present.vvv wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 4:37 pmI always wanted one but did end up with an RE320, which is more or less a transformerless version.

I know I should be trying it out everywhere but it lives on vocals. Maybe I need a second one.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Early 70's Ventura Electric Guitar. It's a MIJ lawsuit copy of the Epiphone Al Caiola model. It's a 335 that's sealed and fully hollow (no f holes). 2 humbuckers, vol and vol for the pickups, 4 switches. 2 for each pickup on/off. then 2 for tone on/off for each pickup. it's basically tone on full or fully off. wonderful walnut finish, it plays and sounds amazing, very cheap too. time to sell my 78 musicmaster

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
That’s encouraging, and relatable. I’ve yet to find a mic that fits the bill for my voice. Could this be it? After using a friend’s on a kick drum I was sold. Can’t wait to try it on everything.A.David.MacKinnon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:34 pm
