@ Unicorn
Dude I'm loving those traps

@ Josh
How are those ADX51s? I ended up going with the DP5 and NT5s and was curious to see if these did well and got a lot of use with their owners

Finally a friend of mine took some pics of my place and some of the gear.

Looks awesome!What's that dark blue material on the walls?Cheers!

 

[Skaldir]

Thanks. Its just a two component carpet.
Other people have carpet on the floor and me on the walls. Why make it simple when it can be complicated?

They are great mic's for overheads, I've used them for vocals as well and it really does well for a small condenser. Give them a shot!

Gauge condenser microphones

Man, those REALLY looked like Neumanns to me when I first looked. Gotta get some if even just to impress clients with a quick glance into the mic locker.

EXACT same thoughts ran through my head.

Not only do they look good, but they sound good too! Check out their site for more details: http://www.gauge-usa.com

Had a listen to all the comparison tests. You really do get what you pay for. The side-by-side comparison of their 87 clone next to a real 87 is a harsh example. The Neumann blows it away, of course, but for 10% of the cost of a U87, it's not a bad option.

Redid my rig for this quick tour starting tomorrow. It's been the bane of my existence the last two nights. Fx loop in the recto is fucked and my rack wah decided to only work in heel down. Even if I push the toe down it still sounds like heel down this will have to do. Recto feeds the fryette and is completely dry obviously and the mark v feeds the Mesa cab and has the fx run on it(not 100% wet though). Wireless goes via tune to decimator to the g system then the insert send is split via a radial headbone via a ebtech hum eliminator to both heads. The recto goes straight to speaker, the mark v returns to the decimator ch2 then the g system then returns to the head. Fuck my life.

ebtech hum eliminator

How's that? Any good?

Works a treat. Wish I had the 8ch rackmounted one.

Why make it simple when it can be complicated?

HOLY SHIT. This is exactly why I hate German engineering. I work on import cars, mostly european and hate every second of it.

 

[Sloan]

Here's the bullshit I have to deal with. Everything in this room is temporary, so unfortunately I don't get to change things like I want. Also, the air conditioning was broken.
Shitty guitars, shitty drums. I hate my life, but it is what it is. this drummer guy was actually ok for what was going on. i had no clue they shot all this vid. MY PRO STUDIO SECRETS OH GAWD.



this day was just getting crap setup. so humid and hot, sweat everywhere.

here's a real short clip of what the drums sound like tracked for those interested in making shitty sounds.

Also of note is that I just put down some plywood for the drums and I like the difference. I even noticed that I think my guitar cab sounds better on the harder surface, even though the wood is just sitting on top of carpet. the rest of the house is hardwood, but it's OFF LIMITS.

A fairly unimpressive setup but what the hay...

Gonna be moving in about 5 weeks so the room will be replaced.
