Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
Re: the microphone SPL handling shiz: I blew the capsule in a 990 a couple years ago recording a clip of my old V2 Ninja. Pissed me off so bad I never actually recorded a clip of that amp. Things I do "wrong" when recording... Every time I've ever taken a bass DI I clipped the fuck out of it on purpose. It sounds good parallel with a clean mic'ed bass amp. When I had my TubePre I clipped the shit out of that thing all the time too. It had a cool grimy character when you ran it into a line level input turned way down after breaking the needle off the VU meter on the pre itself.

Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
Ja, Geoff and I have the same one. Phantom's in groups of four, accessible on the front panel. Dan's Pro 26 has ADAT and Word Clock ins, channels 5 & 6 are usable as inserts, and it'll do 176.4 and 192khz sampling rates if you really hate having hard drive space. Also, you can control phantom power via the software, which you can't do with the Pro 10. If I had money, I'd snag a 26 off the 'bay- they turn up every once in a while- and chain 'em together. That's jacked up that the software isn't doing anything. If mine's not connected, the software gives you a very prominent error message if you boot it up. And that's weird as hell that your DAW would see it still but the Saffire Control software wouldn't. It's not giving you any errors if you load the software?

Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
Even if stuff was tracked at 44.1, I still mix it at 88.2. The higher sampling rate pushes aliasing artifacts from plugins out of the audible frequency spectrum, where they belong. And IMO tracking at 88.2 makes cymbals happy. Studio B Close? Because everyone needs these if they didn't grab them when I first poasted the thread: http://maplifiers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2142

Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
I might try this on my next recording. Does this really make a big difference? Damn right! I use these for all of my reverb needs

Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
So we popped the AT2020 in front of a bass amp today, with the attenuator, and got a signal coming into the DAW that was not going into the red... It still had the bad kind of distortion... Avantone MONDO kick drum mic did a great job though, we gots some zesty fuzz bass tones!

Re: Doing It Wrong: Conventional Recording Wisdom You Violat
That sucks re: the 2020. However, awesome that the kick mic worked out for you. Some do, some don't; really depends on how super-scoopy they are. I like the D112 a lot on bass cab. I'm interested in hearing whatchu got when all is said and done. The guitars and drums are spiffy so far.
