  Gearslutz.com — Authority: 183
  How do the low budget mic pres (lets say everything under 1000) hold up against the built in pres of the FF400? I know that the FF400 pres are extremely neutral and that there are allot of low-end pres with all sorts of clone flavors out there.. but say you were to run a color full mic like a Sm7b threw the FF400 ...

  Hey guys, I was just given an EV 666 mic as a gift and am looking for the cable that is supposed to go with it. Ive done a bit of research, and from what I can find the cable can be wired to go from the old school UA3 connector to a regular XLR. Does anyone know where I can get this older connector to solder on my ...

  Gearslutz.com — Authority: 183
  Sub $1000, what is the best compressor for mixing/mix-down on the stereo buss? I am looking for something that is a magic box. I know no such thing is quite out there, but I hear that the Distressors and some of the other high end comps are apparently awesome, I want a part of that. I make dance music (FWIW). I ...

  Ive got a Shure Unidyne III PE54D I purchased second hand that I am afraid may be broken. I am getting a signal through it, but there is no low frequency end to what I am recording.

  My daughter (who is 9) wanted an electronic keyboard and I heard good reviews about Studiologic vmk-188 so I got her one. This morning it was waiting for her but I was kind of surprised to see that it has no speakers outputs or head phone jacks. Is there a simple way to get this working without connecting it to a ...

• next up a great all-around dynamic- RE20, 421 or SM7?

  
  Gearslutz.com — Authority: 183
  Like the title says I need an excellent all around dynamic. Of the 3 Im thinking about I only have direct experience with the RE20 and The MD421, both as kick mics. The RE20 killed, the 421 was ok. So for kick, bass and guitar cabs and maybe the occasional vocal track (but this is definitely a secondary requirement) ...

  Gearslutz.com — Authority: 183
  Here is a little demo I made a few months ago when I received my v69 back from Michael Joly. Dont mind all of the mistakes and the dark crappy mix! Also, I had a pretty bad cold so I sound a little nassaly. I recorded the vocals twice but the "love" harmony was only once. I dont think that I used any eq or ...

I am curious what an equivalent manufactured pre-amp would cost. - this one might be a stupid question. If I were to buy the chasis and only make one pre-amp for now, are ...

  Gearslutz.com — Authority: 183
  When learning a new instrument, You would normally set a goal, such as learn 5 chords, or play something at a certain BPM. And you would dig in and go at it until youve mastered that specific goal. You always have something that your working towards. Are there any kind of exercises or ear training for mixing? ...
