PT is the industry standard, but that doesn't mean everyone uses it. I know many a professional who has never run PT and many more who hate it. Nuendo is apparently the big one out there that...

Well, scheiß. You're in the Chicago area and you're looking at sending him to school for this? Where's he attending college right now? I honestly feel that recording is one of the many things in...

Unfortunately, I've rarely felt confident recommending vocal mics. The problem is that vocalists are ever so different that a mic that sounds golden on one guy will sound horrible on another. ...

Unfortunately I can't give you a straight comparison or anything of the sort, but I can offer some advice. First of all, an SDC (small diaphragm condenser), which is what the MK-012 (MC-012 and...

No problem, we (and by we, I know I'm speaking for myself at least) just ask that you post your results.

+1 This can make a big difference.

How did you have the figure 8s setup? If you're just putting them up there, you should try a Blumlein configuration. Also, the room will greatly effect a Blumlein, or any figure 8 setting for that...

Wow...good job Adam... You sir, are correct. I can read dates...

I can only speak as to the reason for quad over regular cable, and that's because it has less rf interference. I am currently working in an area of high RF (two radio towers nearby, tons of cell...

Producer...you just revived a 2 month old thread to say that the 4047 is a good mic...

Although I don't own and haven't installed any PT hardware, when I look in the manual for the stuff we work with at the school, it's very straightforward instructions. The 003 should just put a...

There's no easy way to tell them, but you can always state that you charge double for overdubs after 3 or 4 times through. Anything like that that really discourages it makes life easier. Also...

What big time acts are you talking about? I've never noticed a drummer have a mixer behind them.

The Pinto of course!

Neither one is truly better than the other. Just a situation of which would you prefer.

More importantly, why do you need 6-8 mics? Are you doing replacements or augmentations through something...

Well the radio always adds some compression to it, so maybe that's the problem? If he still doesn't like it, find out the setting for the compressor and try to match it, maybe that'll get the...

Easy, just buy some decent speakers (don't even need to be monitors) and make sure the audience doesn't see them. That's the big thing. The audience can't see the speaker or they'll know it's...

Nothing, I just hate windows because it crashes all the time on me, even when I act securely. I'm too much of a poweruser for windows and too much of a sound guy to run Linux (anymore), so a Mac is...

You have had your question answered, my first post on this topic was that mics like the TLM170 are much more flat. If you need that in layman's terms, like the institute thinks everyone does, that...

I think it's probably more practical to go the Mac route as the prices are approximately the same when you spec things out the same. Only reason not to is if you're going for a mid-tower system for...

First off, I'm sorry, but I busted out laughing when I read that. Forums/online messageboards have always been a place where people express their beliefs and disagreements, usually more volatily...

My recommendation would first be to try and find out what was used on the Norah album that you/she likes the most. All I can see off hand that she uses is the KMS-105 which you could pick up 2 of...

Also, always use balanced cable, if you have a TS cable instead of a TRS cable running from the 747 to the 002, that could help cause the problem.

Is your post asking more about classical recordings than more contemporary music? If so, than yes, often times people use a more sterile frequency response, the Schoeps CMC6 "mikrofones" are very...

You do raise a good point Champ, and the thing that most people seem to neglect is that the VP-88 is an M/S mic. I wouldn't try putting it back farther, i'd try putting it up higher.
