The best external amps for old JBLs and UREIs had massive transformers. Consider the iron content.

Get ready for a heavy migration to Logic and Reaper. And possibly others. To Cubase Pro 12 .... if they're sensible :-) Cubase Pro 12 for MacOS?

All modern DAWs are floating point so just lower your mix bus send fader to the master bus to not clip. I always have the mix bus be a separate track from the master bus. Dan in short: There's a lot of maths in the way we make music these days. Or... There's a lot of maths in the way of how we make music these days. Pick one.

Over their perusing . . . $1899 a single channel The 6 pack goes for $1199 chassis and $1899 each preamp (up to 6) The single standalone unit doesn't have the High end control. Bummer. ericn , they're only over there in Lawrence KS, can you pop over and get some free samples to share with me? I guess we should invite them here first, unless they're already lurking members.

Time to take out the calculator . . .
341cm is 11.18766 feet. or 11' and 2 1/4" 400cm is 13.12336 feet or 13' and 1 1/2" 20cm is 0.65617 feet or 8"
The proportions and drawing looks good actually. turn the back wall into a shelving unit with various books, tapes, records boxes etc and you have a great diffusor. Make a fractal diffusor for your ceiling.

It was purchased direct from Samar. Like Ward said M Fouxman is a standup guy, the only possible issue I can see is the same as everyone else availablity of parts. [/quote] That is the only issue. Supply chain. And you can't fault anyone for that. Well, a few people come to mind . . . nevermind

The 1973 sure has that Soyuz sound capture signature to it! I have to say, on acoustic I prefer the 1973 . . . but I think a KM84 is still better.

bricejchandler you mentioned on the other site that the CA70 is "The 70 is a bit darker than your average preamp but then it's also so much deeper". By "deeper" do you mean flexibility? I meant that it seems like it literally feels like it goes an entire octave below other preamps. On kicks it’s very obvious! I took it to mean that as well. Most of us speak literally around here and not figuratively. Deeper usually refers to bass. Listening back, I'm so glad you posted these comparisons! Gratitude!

@mfouxman is a standup guy and I'm sure he stands behind his products. Did you receive registration or warranty cards/instructions with your microphones? The website page says it has a 2 years warranty. www.samaraudiodesign.com/VL37A.html Reach out! info@samaraudiodesign.com

Yeah.....but it's always the lizard skin and diamond glitter that runs the cost up. I see you’re a Soldano fan. 😂 If only I had seen this post first . . . (Mike would be honored).

For wall mount, piece of scrap wood and a dowel. Drill a dowel diameter hole at approximately 30 degrees, cut a 6 in length of dowel glue in hole. Cost is probably less than $5.00 Yeah.....but it's always the lizard skin and diamond glitter that runs the cost up. What if I substitute snakeskin Tolex from Soldano?

What is an atmospheric eq? Shelves? Distortion? Ringing? Noise? Clipping? Analog technology is mature and well known. The optimal filter structure for digital eqs has been public knowledge for years. There have been common digital eqs with analog frequency response since Oxford EQ and Renaissance EQ and analog frequency and phase since the original MDWEQ. You get modern filter structure eqs for free with Ableton (EQ8) and Reaper (JS:ReEQ free add on). Slick EQ is a great free channel strip “tone” eq. The benefit of many analog eqs are that they are not parametric so no death by a thousand cuts overeqed sound, you can have hands on both q and gain for parametric eqs to adjust both at once, and there is no visual feedback of the filters meaning the user must eq by ear and not by eye! Many of the best sounding eq choices for a given track do not look optically pretty. The drawable eqs inspired by Fabfilter Q also encourage drastic over eq vs skeuomorphic knob eqs. Inexperienced users should not be using much beyond a tone stack eq and baxandall shelves anyway. Something like a Tascam EQ already had that problematic mid bell they could hand themselves with. Even an API 550 has proportional cuts that narrow with gain so deeper cuts can be less tonally harmful than shallower ones which punishes being a scared wuss. Record it better! Just as a stand-alone post, this is a great one, Dan. I’ve always liked the proportional cut/changing Q aspect of the API 550s for many applications. But don’t like the ergonomics. Many good informative points in the above.

That's my issue with some (not all) of these Youtubers and bloggers they're so "into themselves" .... like who's interested in them! ... get on with the interview with the actual talent/star, gear review or disseminating that "pearl of wisdom" you just wasted 15 minutes of my life telling me about how you acquired it! Rant over. I think that’s why I grew to like Beato. Pensado’s place was always a pissing contest. I love Scheps for great wit and humility. I think that's why I have grown to like Paul Godfrey. He's like Ricky Gervais, he'll take the piss out of anyone and just doesn't care. I am a-ok with that. Hunky Dory to me.

I've seen the light and have completely reformed!!! I barely bought anything the last year. The H251 being the notable exception..... You're just baiting me to catch up.
