Topic: TL> MiniME??

[nic]

anyone run this combo?
my tax return is finally in so I think Ive decided to go the MiniME route...I can always upgrade pres later, but at least I'll have a great quality ADC

unless someone has a SBM-1 for sale

[nickgregory]

JasonB ran TLs into the V2->Minime route for a while...dont know if he ever ran directly into the minime

[nic]

yeah, it seems most have run a V2>> combo or UA5 for these mics, but not straight MiniME...guess I have to be different

[hzgone]

i currently run tl > v2 > mme, before that i ran tl > mme

check the yard sale for sbm-1's.  i know there was a couple for sale there.

oh yeah, when i was thinking of going this route, jasonb and others recommended going v2 > mod sbm-1 instead of straight minime.

I was/am still seriously considering the v2>sbm-1 route but the key is the sbm1 which tends to disappear as soon as it appears.
I didnt have the $$ for 1 till today and of course there isnt 1 available now...I wont be purchasing the MiniME for another week or so while I hunt down the best price and hope that someone puts 1 up for sale, so theres still time to look for a sbm1.
the main thing I like about the MiniME is the ability to do 24bit...this gives me a ADC that wont necessarily show its age in another year or two and still gives me a decent(not great) preamp which can always be upgraded with another unit in front. with the sbm1, I'm locked at 16bit and will have to replace/upgrade in the future...

I dunno yet. I'm trying to plan for the future and the MiniME will give me what I need today/tomorrow with the cheaper upgrade path compared to say a V2> SBM1 today.

I love the V2 sound with the TL's but there are limited options of ADCs...theres no real limitations with regards to preamps

ya i'd say if you are planning on eventually gettinga  v2, then i'd say get the minime.  the reason i got the v2 & mod sbm-1 is b/c i don't think i'd be able to afford to get a v2 to throw in w/ the minime.  i also don't plan on going 24 bit for a while so that's another reason i went the v2 + sbm1 route.

I ran TL's>MME for one of the nights at Red Rocks Dead shows, all the other nights I ran TL's> UA5 Pmod. TL's>UA5 pmod definitely better. IMO.

did you use the same mic config in the same location both nights?
were weather variables the same each night?

just curious
