But you will need software. Or, somthing liek this (which is what i would get if i didnt use pro tools):

Are they!?

They are balanced inputs not stereo inputs. Don't expect 4 channels of audio. Balanced leads cancel out any noise the leads picks up.

G

They sound really good for the price. I a/b'd these with a Neumann U87 on a cello a few months ago (before i bought one myself) and the performance was exceptional. Off course the £2000 valve mic picked up the top end and warmth better but the EV was certainly not a 30th the mic (which is it in price)...

I use it for acoustic guitars, room mics, strings and other general 'wild card' mic stuff.

Stop the press:

£250 this time last year. I have one and its a brilliant wee mic.

G

Yup

XLR to Balanced (stereo) jack though.

G

hey man



The two line in's would suggest that you can line in your avalon. LE Is a really good starting point, its simple and not too deep to understand. And its free...



G

I have used the perception and its a good mic. Rode nt2 and nt2a are about the same field too and are good. No experience with se i am afriad.

If it was me, i would stretch to rode or get the perception 400 which has more features.

I recently made a little video for Vigier with my guitar playing chum to demonstrate the Vigier passion bass and their Excalibur guitar. You can check out some clips of the playing here



Hope you like it ;0)

P.s it was recorded up in the studio owned by Chris in Preston. The signal went from my pod into the computer playing along with tracks we recorded last time, then matched to the video in iMovie. Youtube makes it look a little out of time though!

ooft

dodgy territory

I always wait till i have some downtime to mess about with software or this happens:

I resolved that on the day but it was a total pain in the arse. From past experience, do what you have to do and then upgrade. Otherwise you will spend as much time playing with the update as you will actually doing the job you need to do.

Miles davis so what and herbie hancock chameleon

Two very different grooves on two seperate areas of the neck

G

Its pretty quiet. I just got it and so far its been great. Its both usb 2.0 and Firewire but the firewire port when daisy chained to the 1814 makes protools bomb out. I think i am running too much into one socket rather than it being PTS fault.

G

Hey Urb,

I would hate to add it up but here goes:

Tube pre - £70
1814 sound card - £320
Pre amps - £80
Hard drive/hub - £150
TC M One Xl - £350
Patch Bay - £30
Racks - £80
Power amp - £100 (included another rack i use elsewhere)
leads and stuff - £80+ i think. I bought alot as i went along and made the rest.
extra bits - £60+

Add that up and its a little over a grand. The pre amps are very basic though. I do not recommend them to anyone dead serious about production.

That and the half dozen mics and stands and xlr's and pop shields and head phones and and and and and ......

G

I did have the 410 which as your right is great but the two inputs are restrictive. The 1814 is up to 16 ins

Its 2.0ghz dual core 1gb ram and running 10.4

G

aye

it sits centrally to be honest. I moved it to get my cat out of the 3u space. The power amp is warm and she likes it....

Those empty spaces usually sit behind the screen

G

I am right handed

How?

G

hehe

aye cheers for the amp, jack-xlr leads and patch leads



Forgot this front pic:

In the few weeks downtime i have for my studio i decided to learn to solder and rewire my studio racks.

Here is how it looked yesterday afternoon:



and with all the new wires (pre solder ):





And here is how it is now:





Everything has been balanced and a few little hum and hiss problems have totally gone.

The really great thing about my setup is that the top rack is my portable rig and only requires the mac to be a powerful 8 input (and once i get new pre's - 16 input) rig. I am running the M-Audio 1814 sound card and use ASR MX-8 Preamps which suck but do the job. I also have a wee Presonus Tube Pre up there too which is a nice little pre amp. There is also an external 500gb drive in that top rig so everything is in the one box.

The bottom rig is the static one which has the TC M-one FX unit which i use for delays and reverbs and the patchbay which everything is routed too. I am waiting on another track to house the 160gb library drive i have. There is plenty of space in this one for future gadgets too The power amp is hooked up to tannoy speakers (pictures above).

Cool

G

even a mac from years back looks like that nice G5 there.

G

Ill take the power strip if thats going seperatly

Garry

aye,

and, John Myung actually smiled too!

G

glasgow tomorrow night.

What is that? Some sort of vintage valve ampeg?

G

Thats the worst bass i have ever seen.

Know some folk who it would suit though...

G

Cheers guys

^_^

I appreciate the feedback
