I had been looking for this exact product for a while! I’ve always wanted to ride the fader “to tape” on the way in, the way it used to be. Of course it made a lot more sense on tape than it does on digital, but still, I think it would be a worthwhile skill to learn.

Deering Goodtime R6 banjo with Kavanjo pickup. Now I need to learn how to make it sound like a banjo and not like a broken acoustic guitar!

CS Reverse Dot on my Black Beauty as well! Ditto for using half a moongel. Some drummers are still scared of the ringiness, but I find it records great. It did take a lot more effort than I thought to dial it in, and I still get the feeling that it could be better somehow.

Would you consider printing the dry track through the Bricasti (using its internal wet/dry mix) for a baked-in room tone, much the same as I would get if I actually tracked in a nice room? I don't see any advantage vs doing that for all tracks with a send and printing the return. That would be like having a stereo "room" mic, and you can blend it to taste.

Thanks everyone for the comments, great thread! I think I’m going to get an ATM25 from Japan and see how I like it. It’s affordable and seems a very safe bet. Also on my list: the AKG D12vr and the Telefunken M82. I’d love to get every mic on this thread and shoot them out!

ATM25... takes EQ better than most kick mics After hearing the kick on your last Billboard #1 single, this mic is SERIOUSLY on my radar. Are you using it inside the kick or outside D? I see it seems to be widely available in Japan (eBay) and discontinued everywhere else. What’s the scoop?

So when something like running a hardware compressor on a buss using Logic's I/O plug.. Is dithering necessary? And if it is, how would that work? ..how and where do I apply it? According to some very smart people, it is necessary. Accordong to some other equally smart people, it's not. I have done my own test, with about 14 channels of external I/O, and using a couple different dedicated dither plugins. My DAW is Logic and my interface is RME. My conclusion is that it is not necessary. This also happens to agree with the designers of my daw and my interface.

My M88 died and Beyerdynamic hasn’t even replied to my repair request. The mic was 3 years old. While I sort this out with the dealer, I’m recording kick with an SM7B (and it works surprisingly well!!!) This has me thinking about buying a new kick mic, and I would love to hear what you currently use and why For my musical taste buying a vintage AKG D12 would be the obvious choice, but I’m scared of buying a mic that won’t be repairable in case of failure.

The M88 is my live performance mic. My M88 just broke today! All the lows are gone. I got in touch with Beyerdynamic for a repair, I hope it’s not too expensive. I always used the pop shield for kick drum duties as instructed. :’(

I think you are looking at it the wrong way. You might want to have them closer to the front wall, not further into the room. Still, pretty good result!

I haven’t. They measure your specific pair and give you a custom EQ curve for them.

The group buy offer is really good. I’m still not sure if I should change something that works for me (Slate’s VTM) to chase the proverbial greener grass...
I doubt that Slate VTM is great.
I just used it on a mix ITB on the 2 BUS and it made things sounding wrong. If this is the glory of TAPE DAYS - No thanks.
I see Slates VTM as a sort of distortion box... sometimes it helps, sometimes it hurts....
I can’t argue with my own results here. I’ve never got it to distort and I wouldn’t think of mixing without it!

It’d be cool to have a thread on these monitors. I had never heard of them and now I think I should start saving up!!!

Room mic, hell yeah! Front of kit. Kick out. Mono overhead. Guitar amps. Didn’t love them on mandolin.

I never found a reason to take it off the snare but I would use it for anything with confidence if I needed to.

I'm interested to see how it stacks up against the RND 542, which I think are awesome. Yeah either RND or the Roger Mayer are definitely in my future. It would be good to demo them side by side.

I've been eyeing the various incarnations of this processor for a while (mono, half rack, etc.) It recently came out in 500-series format, and there's finally a video demo!
What do you guys think?
