[quote name='budget bassist' post='711739' date='Jan 13 2010, 06:53 PM']in the sound engineering world, reverb on bass is generally a bit of a nono[/quote] What he said...

Speakon is more secure as it locks in place and also it is now pretty much a standard connection on pro amps/speakers

Easily fetch that sorta money.... good nick, classic and with LED's

too few words.... I really want the GB75 though....

Something like an Octo-Fuzz would be perfect

Please tell me this is a shred.

Weddings are shaping up nicely this year with a full Summer Diary. New project going live very soon that will be touring the UK theatres and Corporate/Functions,more to come nearer the time...;o) Working with [url="http://www.craigblundell.net/"]Craig Blundell[/url] also this year. In the process of moving the Studio around so that the control room goes and I have a live area big enough for the whole band to rehearse and record in one room. Hopefully working on a Soundtrack soonish and pushing for some published material later this year....... So all in all a pretty good start to 2010!!!!

Join the MU and get covered, albeit on a limited base but worth it

When I worked for Harman we used to do that trick with a Crown Macro-Tech Amp

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='702676' date='Jan 6 2010, 12:03 PM']Aye, it's one of the things we're looking at. His mic is (I think) supercardiod which only leaves hypercardioid to go to. Possibly also one of those "gun" mics I think they're referred to which are highly directional but usually designed to pick up sounds from far away. I'm not sure if they would be suitable on stage but if anyone knows?... Cheers, yes that's exactly the sort of info I was looking for, I had a feeling it might be the case but was hoping someone was already using/had tried them to confirm one way or the other.[/quote] Supercardioid should work better for this application..... do not use a gun mic for this though as that will cause more problems than you already have.

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='702625' date='Jan 6 2010, 11:27 AM']As I understand it they don't target specific frequencies, continuous or otherwise, or have I misunderstood? They pick up the ambient sound, phase reverse it and mix it into the signal going to the headphones/buds thus cancelling out whatever ambient noise would otherwise bleed past the phones directly into the ears. One of the other options I'm considering actually is an ambient mic [i]but phase reversed[/i] to jury rig a noise cancelling set up for him. Depends on a couple of things, whether our engineers desk has a phase reverse switch and balancing the volume level of the ambient mic to successfully cancel out the band noise that's being picked up by the vocal mic.[/quote] You're correct in what you say but due to the high spl on stage they are not effective enough.... Company I work for looked at building an IEM system with them but it wasn't a goer

To be honest this will not work as you want it to.... These type of products are really designed to cut out continuous frequencies such as jet engine noise, train noise etc.... Your singer would be better off having some ear-moulds made for him and then using an ambient microphone on stage also fed to his mix

One thing to mention is that you can use this method for a host of different instruments.... I've had some great recordings with Drums played back into a room via a PA and then recorded this.... great for capturing different ambiences.

I had a play with one of these the other day but I'm not convinced it can replace my deep impact..... And for that reason..... I'm out!

[quote name='maxrossell' post='699354' date='Jan 3 2010, 11:46 AM']It really depends on the mic-amp combination. I'll usually record the amp, but unless I've found a sound I really like I'll also take a DI and re-amp it later. Bass amps get noisy, but most of that will disappear in the mix anyway, and crystal-clear mixes are just f*cking boring if you ask me. Re-amping seems to be one of those things that's gone by the board along with lots of other old studio techniques people used to swear by. Like taking the time to mic things properly.[/quote] +1

[quote name='Spoombung' post='699277' date='Jan 3 2010, 09:43 AM']You mean in combination?[/quote] Yes both on separate channels of the recording

I use both.... Especially for recording slap bass

So your on about sorta scatting.... A la George Benson and many others..... can't see the point myself. I do tend to sing melody over bass parts instead of the part I'm playing

Brown ;0)
