hey you arent alone, that bothered me too. Though to be honest some of the younger musicians I meet are less about actually having any originality and more about the idea of being a musician. _________________ Putting the I in Digital since 1999

If it sounds the way you want it to, what does it matter? I need sound "X" and my budget is "Y", if Microphone "Z" fits both parameters, it's as good as sold. End of story.

Interesting to see a bit of his setup. I haven't heard of him but I liked the "psychedelic" thing he played. I kind of hate it when people say "no one knows how to play anymore". I understand that kind of comment but I don't agree with it. Also that everything is just fast paced and computerized. I know I work on computers, but my recording experience/process is FAR more related to tape, or at...

I was not much into handheld condensers but was asked to order this mic for a friend, so we gave it a trial run in the studio and I was totally amazed at the clarity never before have i wanted to take a handheld condenser and put it on the grand piano or anywhere else in the studio. we (friends and engineers and audio school grads) will be be recording some samples on this Superlux 1" gold plated 3 uM thin film diaphragm. 20 to...

really? i have found almost ALL pitch shifting software to leave strange glitchy artifacts. But after a little hunting around i found out that Reaper has a built in varispeed function so I downloaded the trial version and it worked like a charm. So dead simple too! i can't believe other DAW's don't all seem to have this function built in (apparently logic does now). _________________ the new rules : there are no rules

Hipster I can't understand what you're trying to say... And all of my mics have wizards and elves inside of them making them work. I don't every take them apart because I'm worried that one of them might escape and my mics won't work anymore.

Mishima and Melville were no slouches either. I've got an old issue of a guitar magazine that has Burroughs interviewing Jimmy Page. Pretty interesting. The questions are better than the answers. I had kids in an English class do Burroughs-style cut ups. They didn't get it.

We have a 4 channel JBL M644 noise gate at the club I do sound for, and I like it a lot. Not sure how it would fare under studio conditions, but it does what I need it to for toms and snare on stage. Very easy to set up. I don't think they make them anymore, but I'm sure there are used ones around. It looks like this . _________________ Ryan Slowey Albany, NY http://www.myspace.com/hangmanslowly http://www.myspace.com/bubba_joan

no surprises here, but it's really hard to beat audio technica for the price.

The 12AX7A is a "low noise" 12AX7. You can get a RCA/GE 12AX7A NOS off eBay for $10-$15. A 6072A is a "low-noise" substitute for a 12AY7. 6072A's are pretty expensive NOS, but you can get a nice RCA/GE 6072 for $10-$15 as well. Money well spent, I think. NOS tubes will last a heck of a lot longer than the chinese crap around today, so you'll probably never need to change them again. I would go on...
