I can't remember the name of the company - but someone here mentioned (a

;oDI can ask around Aaron and see if anyone local has them in stock. I surely
like to try stuff out before I buy it. Although - I can't say I'm needing
any drum mics right now, but I'd be glad to help you out.

Things I am going to try:

2 . Monitor from daw with multiple headphones with mixdown file
3 . Remove SIR and listen to mixdown.
4 . Wrap SIR
5 . Remove all guitars and mixdown only leadvox and listen

When I worked as Chick Corea's studio manager we did a crazy little
experiment. We decided to see how good the Yamaha 02R96 mic pres are
compared to pristine vintage Neve 1073 modules. We used a 9 foot Yamaha
grand with Yamaha's mechanical recording/playback system (can't remember
the name of it) into 2 AKG C12s. We were able to get the exact same
performance on each take with the playback system.
In the end, we could hear that the Neve was ever so slightly warmer than
the 01v96, but we were shocked at how unremarkable the difference was -
really shocked. Bernie Kirsh, a true golden ears, and a world famous
engineer who has done virtually all of chick's records could not hear
much difference either, and I gotta tell you he is a real snob when it
comes to equipment.
In a similar vein, when I listened to the first Lynn Fuston mic pre CD
of female vox, I blindly picked the Mackie mic pre as my 3rd favorite.
However I must say that that comparo is not as accurate as the one with
the piano because despite how good she was, she could not do the exact
same performance every time, while the piano could.

I think the problem lies in Honda's marketing department. Toyota
advertises the crap out of their system and Priusesses (Priuii??)
while Honda essentially put cars on the market and just left it up to
the consumer to find them.
My wife drives a Honda Insight. Wonderful car. Gets 52mpg average.
Different technology than the Toyotas - Toyota is an electric car
with gas assist - kicks butt around town. The Honda is a gas car with
electric assist - kicks butt on the highway.
But Sheri really had to dig to find anything about the Insight when
she went shopping three years ago. Same with the current Honda
hybrids.
Instead of whacking a model and blaming engineering, for once, please,
club the marketing weenies over the heads with baseball bats and buy
them a clue!!!!!!
pabThis is where I jump in as a piano Tech and tell you that of course the
differences were minute, since you were using a Yamaha piano to
"measure" your Yamaha Pres. If the O2R96 had been presented with
the more complex tone of a Steinway, or a Bosendorfer, or a Fazioli,
the difference between Pres would have been more apparent.
Actually, I'm joking. I think.
Thanks for the "confession". In fact through the past few years of belonging
to this group, I've come to know those whose sonic priorities align with
mine. You are one of them. I always appreciate your posts.
I tuned for Chick Corea once while he was in Toronto...
Peace,
Ted

>Does that make me a bad person?Bill, I sometimes work at a studio which uses the Yammy Dm-2000. The studio
has avalons, neves, UADs, but long story short, when we compared those other
pres with the DM-2000, we choose the DM-2000 for the every day go to Pre..
They even put those pres on their portable studios AW2400/AW1600. I got a
few projects form those units and they sound as good anything out there..
Bottom line..it does'nt surprise me..:)

That's what.
First, they sold us a vinyl copy of the album, which we happily paid
for.
Then, they re-issued it as a half-speed master, either MFSL, Nautilus,
or CBS's own flavor.
And then they expected us to pony up MORE $$$ for another copy of what
we already owned.
And some people, for whatever reason, bought either 8-track or
cassette copies of the album, buying ONCE AGAIN a copy of what they
already owned, for the same price as they originally paid.
Then along came cd's. And we had to pay $18 a pop for yet ANOTHER
copy of the album that we'd already paid for two-and-a-half times
over.
Fine. I don't like it, but I don't have a choice. The original vinyl
sounded like ass and was pressed on thin, flimsy recycled vinyl with
pieces of paper in it.
Now, they are remastering and reissuing all those same cd's as before,
maybe throwing a b-side or two in, and now expecting us to run out and
pay ANOTHER $15 for ANOTHER copy of the album that we've ALREADY
BOUGHT THREE TIMES. "I'm sorry the original cd sucked so hard. We've
remastered it the way we should have done 10 years ago - our mistake.
Please pay us again."
At some point, do they give us "updgrade pricing"??? "Mail your old
cd in plus $6 and we'll send you a copy of the new one"??????
Hell no. It's just an extortion scheme that they get away with
because they are the only ones you can buy that title from, they have
you by the short hairs, and you are pretty well screwed.
It pisses me off. A lot.
Sorry. Had to rant.
pabYep, the DM2K pre's are all that... I was quite stunned the
first time I dialed them up... I knew they were supposed to
be good, just wasn't expecting Great! 24 of them in the desk
is just a bonus.

Look, this is real easy, guys & gals - this is a Metal band, as
I'm sure you can tell from the pic (check variations of garb,
posing, & hairstyles for confirmation)... hence, it pretty much
goes without saying that I am the only one wearing something
other than black, or a gradient shade of black, for upper-body-
wear.
Sheesh!

Sticking to the original topic of the thread, I have noticed
when I've done projects in PTHD (at another facility, since I
don't have PT here) the channels tend to redlight pretty
easily - hence, when I've imported PT tracks to SX, the levels
seem to be a lot lower than what I would normally record at,
were I recording in SX or Paris. So, is PT more peak-sensitive?
If so could this be part of the problem? IOW, the guy's just
not used to seeing stuff go to track that hot?
NeilNeil, are you married? 'Cause two guys in that band are putting horns on
you, dude! You gotta watch out with other musicians and *your* woman.
