Looks good! Was actually just looking at 441's on ebay just now. Anyone used them for guitars much?

Dude, holy shit, this better sound freakin' spectacular! Why the Benchmark pres for the kick/snare, though? I seem to remember from talking with a dude from the company at NAMM that they make their pres to be SUPER transparent (like Millennia status), so I'd think they'd be better for OH's and a more colored pre better for kick/snare.

Oh, and I give you props for your grammar/spelling improving immensely in the past year, but it's "tomOrrow." Just FYI!

i love them... i have 2 of them they sound like a condenser a lot more than a dynamic very open sounding...

How are those possibly something elses? I hear they're pretty good.

Spell check for the win.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

The "possibly something else" is more than likley going to be another compressor. Maybe a Urei LA-4?

Don't know a lot of that is what they recommend (it will be my first time recording there).

I could be wrong with the benchmarks as well, I can't remember if the snare was running through them or the Focusrite ISA430. It's probably that .

Marcus: Your definitely right the benchmarks are VERY transparent. Actually if I was doing room impulses that would be the pre to do them through.


Oh and I'm signing out a couple of Sony high def cameras from school and documenting the whole thing. So video when it's done (well as fast as I can throw it together).

NICE.

So live and learn, totally retarded to book only an hour of studio time. I got vids but not of actual tracking except in the live room. I did do a walk through of the studio however. I'll post it once done, I'm at work ATM so it will probably be tomorrow night.
