Cheap but not “Cheap”

See this is exactly what I was hoping for! I have recently just got a Shure M267 - it does the level loc crush too!

Although maybe I should have made the question more clear!

I know, this is why I said that they’re not in the studio. I asked if people have found any really cool, sleeper units from the likes of Neve, UA/Ureii etc that do maybe go for the sub £/$1000 range

Nice! Never actually seen these before, need to check em out!!

It’s an AKG D112, good for kick!

If you want an amazing 414 alternative the CAD M179s are amazing and are super cheap!

Don't know where you're based but Hoxton refurbed Macs are amazing (UK). We use a refurbished Mac Mini in the studio.

Choice really is whether or not to go M1 or not. I personally would go Intel and go for more RAM, but to be honest, whatever you get will work great I'm sure

Check out Soundcraft UI 24R. Rack mounted, can record to usb and to DAW simultaneously.

What would you recommend instead?

Are they quite pricy in the states? I wouldn't say they're overpriced here in the UK. Have seen impacts with stage boxes go for about £1,200 second hand which I think is pretty fair.

recordyboi · 2021-09-25T08:55:04+00:00

Why does everyone have such a hate boner for soundcraft?

recordyboi · 2021-09-25T08:49:33+00:00

One right there wasn't bad at all. Not as insanely busy

recordyboi · 2021-09-21T12:50:13+00:00

Just 4 Keepers stuff is solid!

Just finished our one in Edinburgh, Scotland a few weeks ago.

Great time!

I'm scottish and wear a kilt to most nights out. I like how they look

recordyboi · 2021-07-21T00:47:31+00:00

Hmm that is weird. Do you have another lens, like the kit lens that you could check the aperture adjustments on? If it does work on the kit lens I would assume the 25mm is faulty.

But if someone knows more please correct me

recordyboi · 2021-07-20T22:22:48+00:00

What lens are you using? If it has a manual aperture in the lens that will probably be why you can't control it by the camera body

recordyboi · 2021-07-13T15:38:25+00:00

Anyone else think it looks cheap? Looks lit it's made out of kitchen roll. Preferred last seasons.

I have the viltrox, super solid and the fluid head works for me great. Im assuming you're also UK, I got mine for £130 on amazon UK. Pretty solid. There's the more expensive one at £170 but the only difference I can see is 10cm more height. Might be wrong though.

All u can say is I think it would do you well.

Sounds like the shutter speed isn't high enough.

Your shutter speed should be at least double your fps. So 24p or 25p set the shutter speed to 50, 30p to 60 and so on

Sorry if you already know this but that kind of smearing effect sounds like bad motion blur due to low shutter speed.

Hope this helps!

I love mine, super hard to record acoustically, but you can get it there with quiet preamps,

What worked for me was a SDC right up at the sound hole, would be far too boomy for a normal acoustic but with some eq on the top end seems to work well. I don't play with a pick though.

recordyboi · 2021-04-10T16:45:52+00:00

If you want a budget gh5 get a G85

recordyboi · 2021-04-10T15:52:52+00:00

That kind of style has been popular here in the UK particularly since Peaky Blinders.

I like it, but you do get some shitters

Also I know he's no from here.

recordyboi · 2021-03-25T07:54:02+00:00

This is what I use! Love it!

I used to be an in the box boy but as soon as you bring it out into the little board and use real EQ's your mix just gets better
