The gear

We actually have pretty humble gear. Mike will need to send me the specs on his current mic setup,( and maybe a footnote about how many of his online orders went to the wrong address or had other problems from that popular (but lousy) unfriendly musician's instrument reseller.)

Anyway, for me, we have...

  • Kubicki x-factor Bass Serial # 2229  made: 3/90
  • Takamine one-piece solid body Guitar (X200-TB), with string locking mechanisms.
  • large commercial soundfont collection, with Creative Prodikeys for PC interface
  • Roland D20 synth; Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 synth;
  • Creative Audigy2 Platinum Pro soundcard and instrument interface
  • Line6 GuitarPort
  • Roland Cube-100 Guitar Amp
  • Once upon a time I had a real violin, trumpet, cornet, upright piano, and french horn, but those days have passed (and don't ask me if I was any good at any of those things. Them's fightin' words!) (the answer, by the way, would be 'no' :-) ) If I had lots of excess cash (as opposed to being flat broke and in debt, which I am - ah the life of a musician - ), I would not only buy a new French Horn, but I would also buy a Cello; just for my own enjoyment. Classical has always been an important part of my life.
  • My bass amp was a Yamaha, but I gave it to someone who was actually doing live gigs not long ago. I am in a virtual world these days. Maybe we can get a "virtual gig." I wonder how that would work?

I have a fairly humble vocal gear setup as well.

Audio Technica Cardiod Mic
Tube Ultragain Pre-amp w/ power supply
Audigy Platinum Sound Card
Sound tech PA head

While the Audio Technica Mic that I have is pretty good, it is mainly thought of a performance microphone. I think its diaphragm is pretty rugged which is good, but I don't think it does a great job of capturing the nuances of a performance cleanly. It's great for home recording but vastly inferior to a studio mic setup.

I route the output from the sound card through the PA (before the headphones) so I can have some reverb in the cans.

Mike
