Hey folks.
If you have this mic, what sort of output level are you getting from it when plugged directly into your interface and speaking into it from about a foot away?
I can't seem to get anything hotter than -30 or -40 to show up in the DAW no matter what level the preamp on the mic is set to.
What's captured sounds extremely nice, but it is extremely quiet.

Thanks, everyone.
You can't get Coles right now, so I'm not bothering with them. maybe in 6 months, they'll be shipping. Vintage King said they still have orders from October that haven't been filled for a matched pair of Coles.

Hi there. it's been a few years since I visited this forum. I bought a grand piano ( http://instagram.com/p/CI_jqm5pMLg ) and need to mic it with something better than I have. I'm also looking to get a good swiss army knife mic, or mic pair. I'm hoping to get the mic(s) purchased before jan 1, 2021, and take advantage of those 48mo 0% financing deals being offered by sweetwater/vintage king/etc. I'm looking at the following mics for recording this instrument: - Earthworks PM40 (most likely gonna buy this + another matched pair to round out my mic collection) - Soyuz 013 matched pair (maybe the tube variant, sweetwater has a demo unit for sale) - Samar VL37A matched pair (if vintage king can find out when they'll be in stock) - Coles 4038 (no one has these, Coles isn't shipping from the UK right now) - AEA R84 - MikTek C5 matched Pair (backordered) Here's a clip and pic of the clip's mic setup www.dropbox.com/s/73bg5ue5tlm4nfj/NT5%20ez1073.wav?dl=0www.dropbox.com/s/mtf99s80svd4uso/20201230_021354_HDR.jpg?dl=0Signal chain for this clip: mics: Rode NT5 matched pair Preamp: AML ez1073-500 Interface: Apogee Symphony MK1 Mic position: 18" apart, 6" back from hammers, 4" above the strings. this is the raw sound from the mics. The piano is a brand new Baldwin BP190, and hasn't received its first tuning or acclimated to the room it's in. I've had it for about 10 days now. I couldn't be happier with the piano and am looking forward to breaking it in over the next few months, and hearing its voice develop. Any thoughts on what direction to go with regard to choosing some mics to record it? Regarding a swiss army knife mic, I'd be looking for something to replace my MicRehab-modded CV4 that I've had for I'd guess 6 or 7 years. Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. It seems a bit to me like how the Newfangled EQuviocate describes their multiband EQ. I own that but haven't really sunk my teeth into learning it yet. Equivocate is pretty cool. It's basically a big graphic EQ but it has a sound to it. I like it for notching out annoying frequencies and maybe some very small boosts on a master. Click that "auto" button above the output meter...

fyi this isn’t true or legal and hasn’t been for a long time. Go walk into MD Anderson tell them you have cancer and no insurance or Medicare / Medicade, unless you fall into a funded study or they decide you are “educational case” you will be told to either walk down the street to Ben Taub or drive down to UTMB. this is what i was referring to about being refused service.

Cool, I didn't know that. The people at the front desk always demand insurance or CC cards before admittance every time I've had to go, emergency or not.

I found out today that another one of my tunes just hit #1 on Billboard. Big props to some of the great cats and companies here on the forum whose gear I absolutely love!!! It makes such a difference having great analog gear to use. I had the pleasure of being a featured artist on sax, producing, mixing, mastering and co-writing this. My friend Blake Aaron the guitarist is a beast!! spock Chandler REDD Mic on Sax illacov Zulu on Sax[ BradM and drbill Silver Bullet on Mix Buss and mastering Drew @ UA - 4 BF Apollo’s and 2 Octo Satellites. UAD plug-ins galore. UA is all over this track I'll be the only guy on here to ask this: mouthpiece, horn, reed? lol

How do they get care if they don't have insurance? Tons of hospitals won't even admit you if you don't have insurance or a credit card, no matter how sick you are.

Nice so you could use 2 additional different stereo DACs if you wanted. That's handy. Might end up going the Symphony route. 2x6 + 16x16 with an HD card in it. Then just get a second one with dual 16x16s later. oh hey there, new gear budget. haven't seen you in a while! lol

Spaces 1 is pretty cool. it's for film composers. it doesn't have many short verbs.

you could say the same about the symphony vs. the svart box tho.

but does "more aggressive" mean it's more accurate? isn't that what this is all about? which DA is most accurate?
My car's stereo doesn't have the same DA as the Motu/Apollo/Symphony/etc so is what I hear from my interface going to honestly translate to whatever device I listen to music on?

I have a symphony MK1 with the 8micPre card. they are super clean sounding, tons of headroom, I use them more than my AML ez1073's or CAPI vp28s, to be honest, because it's just easier and sounds just as good.

Didn't want to make a separate thread for this so I'll throw it in here; I haven't been using the site on my phone because of potentially dangerous looking pop ups and rather than ignoring it I thought it best to bring it to attention to help the site. These are the deceptive type ads saying "you won" or "your device is infected" prompting me to click. I have pop ups blocked but they hit me on this site periodically. I know it's not my device or browser as none of the other sites I visit do this. I'm using Chrome on Android. Hope that into helps! use the Tapatalk app instead :-)

ok. unencrypted web forms that we type our messages into and click "send" are something we shouldn't worry, in regards to whether or not MITM hackers can read the transmitted data as plaintext, which is what happens when you send messages over HTTP channels, as opposed to HTTPS channels. Sounds good to me, EmRR. Should I email you my social security number and home address while we're being ridiculous? Johnkenn, take a look at LetsEncrypt, and see if the host you're using supports it. It's free and will give you an SSL certificate for use on the server.

just a FYI, Johnkenn. You probably need to renew the SSL certificate or something if it expired.

you know, I kept trying to see if we could get a better deal on a lot of the stuff we had to buy for our upcoming firstborn. eventually, my wife said to me "just make your mind up and be done with it. buy it and don't look back. otherwise, you'll always be living in doubt about your purchase." That same mentality should probably be applied here. Look how many studios still run Avid 192's or old Lynx Aurora's. Did your wife know that you were buying a stroller that was $1000 more than a stroller that was literally just like it? lol If you really wanted to know, you'd just send your symphony and apollo and motu to Jim Williams and let him go over them with a fine-toothed comb and see what he discovers. Then you'd know which one to get.
