Topic: man, my tapes sound so much better ...

[zhianosatch]

... now that i own this modsbm-1! wow, what a difference! my previous rigs don't hold a candle to my current dpa 4061s > modmps-6010 > oade modsbm-1 > d8. fuller, rounded, more musical sound. solid, full low end, enhanced but not over-exaggerated. the high end could use some de-crisping and smoothin' out but the BALLS factor in my tapes is up at least three notches! this combo is what i've been yearning for, in my cursed poverty, since i started listening to recordings critically and researching gear. i have climbed the mountain and it is good.
special thanks to:

1) st_l-taper for the hookup
2) this engineering company for employing me
3) some of my favorite bands for putting on EXCELLENT shows recently, including, but not limited to:
   -ministry, which is by far the best band in the world
   -ras michael and the sons of negus (along with the whole monterey bay reggaefest)
   -in flames
4) my d8 for hangin' in there like a CHAMP
5) myself for being responsible for new "at-the show" techniques (and the constant pursuit of perfection)
6) taperssection for enhancing my musical and taping life!

word to all of your mothers!

p.s. -T to my IBM HD that just took a dive, but +T to a new maxtor 120 gigger and windows 2000! i mention this because i have to retransfer and re-track all my recent tapes... d'oh!

glad yer finally happy, i am at that same point

i just bought the micros and i was all excited to get home and listen to my recording to hear the improvements...only i was a little disappointed.  i haven't did real comparisons yet, which i should probably do - that'd probably make me happier.

on a side note, its made me want to buy a new preamp and get rid of the ua-5

d00d, i'll get flac for this but, IMO, you CANNOT beat (fav mics>v3) nuf said

yeah, i think a v3 is definitely in the works...at least thats what i'd buy at this moment in time.  however, when i fianlly save up enuf money, something else might be out thats better...we'll have to see.

well i just did an a/b comparison of the micros and my old luxes from shows by the same band in the same venue that i had taped....the micros put the luxes to shame.  so i'm happy now.  money well spent!

[John R]

let me know when you're ready for the V3

bean, the new king of the v3 fluffers. dood, I'm sorry you suffered hearing damage as a child, but do we have to get fluffage EVERY day?

haha, well put it this way...i'm in debt about $25k right now because of school loans and junk.  i'm definitely on a budget and trying to save where i can,  i think if i lay off the endo smoke a bit and try to save more, i might be able to get it one day...but seriously, it might not be until next year at this time.  and who knows what will be available then...but one day hopefully i'll have a nice preamp.  (not saying the ua-5 isn't nice, but seriously, who doesn't want a v3)

Not that they are at all common, but about how much is a used V3?

[Brian]

hey now, i just saw this.  glad you like the modsbm1 armen!   i bet it really helps out with the low end at those heavy rock shows you tape a lot of the time. +t backatcha

only if you tape decent shows with it! spargey has one too. that means two modsbm-1s in the same room.

Sounds a little fruity to me.
