Go read around page 18 I think. No thanks, I'd rather spend those 5 minutes here

I'm pretty sure I NEED a pair of these. I know how you feel

One more question for you Coles fans, which preamp do you use? I guess the 4038 has a pretty low output, I wonder if something like my BAE 1028 will work. Sometimes I get a little paranoid about hitting the phantom power by accident and it makes me wonder if maybe a pair of those would be a wise idea. That's why the FetHead looks appealing. It blocks the phantom power to the mic while using the same phantom power for gain.

Yes, that's what I figured too.

Thanks, I forgot about those. I was just looking at the Triton FetHead, that might also work...

In the meantime here's my pair the day they arrived from the UK a couple of months ago. (Just to whet your appetite!) Oh, thank you! Thank you very much! I had just convinced myself that I don't need one. Now you guys come along...

BTW, those Keith Urban drums sound to me like real drums eq'd, not a drum library...

Wow, that thing looks gorgeous. Congrats. I'm jealous. No, seriously, enjoy it, you'll love it.

...how can it possibly take 11 days to make payment in these days of electronic banking ? Kind of obvious how each part of the chain keeps your money for free for a few days no doubt invests it in overnight markets, makes a little with your money and then moves your money along a few days later ? I guess you answered your own question. This is one thing that really pisses me off. Royally. Banks screw you LCR.

I never log out so can't say. People log out of RGO? Never have I thought of such a thing! I get thrown out periodically by the system, no clue why. Never encountered a Captcha when logging in again, though...

I can picture that alright, but how do you place the mic? When the capsule is at a 90 degrees angle relative to the heads, it does not point towards the heads but rather right across them, or am I missing something?

With this figure 8 concept, the capsule is at about 90 degrees relative to the batter head? Trying to picture it. I was wondering about that too, can someone explain?

The Abbey Road design beats everything out there just for the looks. I'm sure it is pretty effective too, those designers back then knew what they were doing.

I wish I could afford to track there, I'd request John Lennon's mic Mastering is all I can afford. Still, I'm excited to be there, it's always a thrill...

Levon, which filter is a "Pauly" ? I'm not familiar with the slang. Very cool you'll be at Abbey Road. What are you up to there? Martin, it was mentioned in Yotonic's post further up. See also here I know, it IS expensive... I actually bought mine as a showroom model at a nice discount. It's the third time I'm at Abbey Road for mastering with Sean, a teenage dream-come-true. The first time I was there, I turned and stood face-to-face with George and Giles Martin. My wife couldn't believe what she saw, lol...

I've been looking for an Abbey Road-type filter for ages. I tried a bunch of others, including the Stedman, and settled on the Pauly for now. It works great but, just for looks, man, you can't beat that Abbey Road filter. Especially on a 47. I'll be at Abbey Road next week, maybe if I ask nicely... Hi levon , what room will you be working in? I'm mastering with Sean Magee. Are you there?

You concentrate too much on gear and not enough on making music. If The Beatles had been like that, they would still play to 20 people in The Cavern. John, sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath, say: it doesn't matter which converter I use, as long as I create some killer songs. Converters don't help me writing a great tune. Great tunes sound good with any converter. (Replace 'converter' with 'mic', 'preamp', 'guitar', 'cable' or whatever is appropriate at the moment) Repeat.

That was fun, great sounds. Now I gotta work out how to be able to afford one of these. Or two. Nice playing from Warren, but, please, get the man some shoes already...
