Avid Pro Audio Community - Let's hear your latest stuff....right here

Hi bigbubbaj,
I really liked the Dan Walker tracks. The guitar does sound really great. Thanks also for the breakdown of info. on how you did the recording. Did you have any phasing issues using all those mics.?
I have never known much about the Apex 435 mic. How much of the guitar sound quality would you credit to the 435?? I also do a lot of acoustic/classical guitar music and might consider adding it to my collection. I did a quick search, $79, is that price for real??

Cheers,
Ruben

Not really, I kept them less than 3 feet apart, and the angles of the capsules were positioned with phase issues in mind

I would say that 95% of the guitar sound is attributable to the 435s. IntelDoc has used them with the same success. I got them at musiciansbuy.com for 69.95 each.

Thanks for listening

Also I remixed and tweaked the vox and now they sound all warm and cozy. I like them a bunch!Dan Walker - Remixed

Yeah, that's much better. Still has the hyped top end sound, but that's the mic, and possibly the Presonus too. At least now it has some guts. Well done.

Yeah how did I get to your songs, I forgot. Saw your site, the song sounded indeed a bitty psychnautical. Did you make more songs on acid? Very experimental, yet different style than Ummagumma from Pink Floyd. I have used LSD some times but have never been able to do anything with my computer those moments. Too much freakin'

Actually I had taken a few mushrooms at the time. I was a bit tweaked out but still able to function hehe. Don't try this at home kids.

Hi bigbubbaj,
thanks again for all the info.
Ive made a few calls to retailers here in Australia but a lot of them arnt selling the Apex 435's. Ive got an uncle coming from the states in November, do you know if the mics. would work here or if they run on different power specs.

Cheers,
Ruben

Gene,

Nice! I could listen to that girl sing all day. Have you done anything in the studio with them?
