Just got my repaired SEM back from Mr Oberheim. This is a little 1 pass real-time record testing the repair. The SEM might just have the best sounding oscillators in history. FYI Noise is from the rhythm king being squashed to all hell via a 1176.

Finished up part two of the kick mic review forĀ recordinghacks.com. Visit this link to read/hear moreĀ http://recordinghacks.com/2013/05/26/d12vr-m82-shootout/
I’ve recently added a Moog MF-104M & MF-104Z to theĀ arsenal. I didn’tĀ originallyĀ plan on keeping both,…
Finished soldering up/shooting photos of an exciting soon to be released mic mod from microphone-parts.com. This particular mic started as a MXL 990. The capsule got swapped & the PCB/components had a complete make over. The mic sounds wonderful. It’s low-end response is insane. As a quick test before I bring this guy to live in the studio (FYI – this mic is going to park itself in front of my kit for it’s 1st real task) I decided to mic up some hand percussion to see how it performs. I put it side by side with my much trusted Red type-b/R8. The results are as follows.
So Jon Tidey suckered me into a group buy (doesn’t take much when recording gear is involved) for a “Auralex MudGuard“.
In my downtime I decided to do a in-depth comparison between the A/D converters I have at hand. With the amount of “Night & Day” reviews you read about it’s easy to question if converters are drastically different from box to box, It got me questioning at-least. The technical converter specs over the last 10years or more out perform most sound sources, processing, & environments. I have done my share surgically analyzing the THD+N, frequency response, Jitter, & so on, But that never answered the question if one can audibly hear the difference? Time for a real-world test I say.
