Although I will admit that my participation in the political threads is both pointless and in contrary to the FAQ. As far as posting gobs of off topic discussion, I'm not even close to the worst of the offenders. As far as his posting a 111k message repeatedly, it's not gonna do any good. It's going nowhere when the medicine is worse than the disease. The posting of the FAQ can be done once, those people who have not read it will read it and those who will ignore it will contunue to do so. So, Ty is protesting, big ****ing deal. He is trying to annoy people. If you're gonna be a victim, you should at least be righteous. What we should do is have someone post the FAQ every couple of weeks once, not every time someone says something that Ty doesn't like. |

There's a microprocessor in the ****ing _microphone_? Is this something licensed from Anatares? g Yes, exactly. The capsule is a $3.50 Primo omni, but AKG has put a licensed version of Antares' "Mic Modeler" into programmable ROM, which converts the sound of the capsule to exactly the sound of a C-414. Diligent hackers have already found that if you change a few contacts around, you can get the sound of any microphone you want out of these. There are even separate settings for the original Neumann U 47 versus the Telefunken-labeled variant of the same mike. (just kidding about ALL of this!) |

Unfortunately I have to pack up our recording studio for the next year while we renovate our building. I'll have a control room available, but no tracking room. I have to admit that I haven't.

I don't think they're as warm plus I think they're made out of Mylar now and not PVC. And, when you killfile someone with the newer models it leaves artifacts. You can get the original on eBay sometimes. bob |
