Mic Pres Line Level 2 Bus

Instead of slapping all of that crap on your mix bus, why not try recording and mixing your tracks to sound the way you want them to in the first place? This concept that there is some magic box that you are going to put across your mix to make it sound like a million bucks is mind numbingly naive.
Ethan Winer Converter Test

Another one of these stupid shootouts. If you can pick which is which ten times out of ten I’ll let you shit in my shoe. Ethan.. Point taken…
UPDATE: Seems I’m not the only one who thought this was bullshit. Thread destroyed…

If any of these idiots can tell the difference in a blind listening test, I’ll let them shit in my shoes.
Is this how the u87 is suppose to sound? “Alot of 2-3khzish”

I love how the Gearslutz answer is that the guy has the wrong preamp. He has to buy more gear of course. As if the U87 only works with one preamp.
They OPs problem is operator error. Once he learns how to use his mic, he’ll be fine.
500 series limitations voltage/size/layout?

These are designers concerns, not end users concerns. If you can’t design around the limitations of the format, don’t. If you are worried about whether the products are inferior, seems to me plenty of people are making great records with this crap.

Not everyone has to like the 1176. Use it. Don’t use it. Who cares? I love the guy who says it’s a limiter not a compressor, as if he knows the difference.
Sony c800g vs u47 u67 87

The majority of these people have never nor will never have heard any of these mics. This is a great example of gearschmuckz regurgitating bullshit they read from other gearschmuckz.

What makes a mic pre “stack better”

Stacking is a myth. There is no such thing. The Beatles used the same chain on every track and things sounded pretty good.
Now shut up and start making great records.
