    Re: Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mic (video)

    Nice rich and balanced sound and great playing!
    Ribbon microphones have a very warm natural mid and mellow high frequency response. And if you need a brighter sound later on in the mix, you can...

    Re: When to upgrade from beginner mandolin?

    What Mark said!

    My journey started with a 100€ used Kentucky, two months later I played a 1000€ Eastman in comparison and got that one, two years later a 2000€ used Northfield, then later a...

  5. Re: Wrecked fingers can't make 'block chords', time to quit?

    I get through a jam with two-finger chops all night long just fine.
    Important thing is to get the gist of the chop, it‘s the articulation and timing, not the complete chord voicing that counts....

    Re: Eastman 514 vs 314

    I‘d say: It depends.
    I once bought a 514 that sounded nicer than the 314 next on the wall that day, but I know two 314s around town that sound and play just as good.
    Finish is nicer, yes, but to...

    Re: Personal Mandolin Monitor

    How is your mandolin being picked up so far? If you don’t have a pickup (or at least a suitable good mic already), chances are that if you can only hear 50% of yourself, everybody else in the room...

    Re: SM57 versus SM58: What's the difference?

    As rcc56 has stated before, condensers are (only) great in a clean acoustic environment. That said, always keep a 57 (I prefer a beta57, which is even more directional) in your bag as a lifeboat…

    Re: Mandolin Set-up E-Book by Rob Meldrum

    Thanks AGAIN, Rob for still keeping this service up for us. When I got my first cheap K150 some years ago, your book helped me a great deal to turn it into a well set up instrument.

    I did buy one unseen a couple years ago, when I wasn’t able to get my hands on before pulling the trigger. Did not regret it.

    Re: What kind of mic is Dawg using?

    Not a Neumann, it looks a lot like a Mitek c7e, made in Nashville,TN.
    But as Ray(T) stated before, its set up to be a main vocal mike. The one in the lower position to pick up his mando is hard to...

    Re: New mixer

    Did you install (and select in Reaper) the asio driver from Behringer‘s website?
    Win driver will not allow multitrack, you need to select that asio driver in Reaper.

    And yes, the internal routers and antennas on those little mixer boxes are crap! Good advice to...
