  1. really depends on the music / guitar style you're recording. my personal preference when double tracking is a fairly bright small diaphragm condenser and a large diaphragm condenser for some body both pointing to the same spot around the 12th-15th frets. An M5 and something like an NT1 would work well on a budget. Otherwise I've had good results just going with a small diaphragm pair in XY at around the same spot which the M5s should work pretty well for. This is a really good lil article to have a read / listen of in terms of acoustic micing http://blog.discmakers.com/2013/08/10-mic-placements-for-acoustic-guitar/ If you're keen on the M5s, I'd recommend checking out a pair of Teal CM-1s from 3u microphones: http://3uaudio.com/Show.asp?id=652 They're about the same price as the M5s ($210 USD for the pair last time I checked) but being large diaphragm I'd say they're a bit more versatile. In my experience they are the best sounding microphones in that price range - I've had great results with them on drum overheads and from the sound demos I've heard they sound great on acoustic guitar. They're designed and built by a guy in Sydney who used to engineer for Rode microphones. If you want to look into them and have a bit of a listen there's a huge thread on gearslutz where everyone is raving about them: Gearslutz Thread Sound Demos For the interface I don't think you can really go past the Focusrite Scarlett series
  2. so i was just looking on ebay to see if there were any cheap loop pedals and came across these brand new $50 TC electronic dittos: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-TC-Electronic-Ditto-Looper-Guitar-Loop-Effects-Pedal-/321763355869?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4aea972cdd seems a bit too good to be true... no real way to check legitimacy though is there? are these possibly even likely to just be scratch and dent stock with cosmetic issues?
  3. May I ask why PT is your go to DAW for traditional recording over the others? Like I said earlier in the thread, I mainly use Ableton but have just recently started using ProTools and I'm just wondering what advantages PT actually has over it...
  4. I've been an Ableton user for a few years now and while I first used it for electronic music I now use it all the time for your standard guitar, bass, drums rock/ acoustic music/ stuff in general that's not electronic and I love the workflow. The past year or so I've been trying to get into Protools (have to use it for university etc.) and while it has some cool features that Ableton doesn't, I find that Ableton's GUI is much easier to navigate around and it seems to do a lot of the simple things much better/ easier. For example; basic routing/ bussing/ grouping or even just inserting and using plug ins. That being said, I would probably like to make the change to Protools sometime in the near future once I properly get the hang of it...
  5. Was only about 2 or 3 rows from the catwalk barrier on matt's side and didn't even realise matt wore a hat till i saw photos after the gig
  6. Also thought Fury for a split second, probably only because I was really hoping for fury to be played If I remember correctly, it actually sounded like he was about to start playing supermassive black hole, again...
  7. They had signs around the Brisbane gig saying that they were not able to sell bottles of water and would only be providing water in cups as per the bands request. I would assume that would probably be the case in Sydney too.
  8. Make that 4!! The crowd was pretty (very) tame where I was (a few rows back in front of Matt). And I guess the average set made up for what we got on the second night last time. Definitely loved finally seeing unnatural selection live though.
  9. All of the aus gig threads seem to be the same with little replies. Which is weird since last time muse came to australia each one of the gig threads were pretty big...
  10. You had to be registered before the date the tour was announced. You won't have it since you only joined today... Always a chance in the frontier pre sale tomorrow if you register and get their code over there.
  11. GA11 also. Will be my third muse concert at the entertainment centre and I don't think I've ever not been GA11 haha!
  12. No one's made a thread for this gig yet, am I the only one going?!
  13. Yes! I'll take the bubinga sakura as my prize thanks. No seriously.
  14. Why only 10 In no particular order: 1: Dead Star 2: MK Ultra 3: Fury 4: Map of the Problematique 5: Knights of Cydonia 6: Stockholm Syndrome 7: Take a Bow 8: Butterflies and Hurricanes 9: Plug in Baby 10: Sunburn/ Unnatural Selection - couldn't decide
