Antigone Rising was in the studio in March to write and demo some new tunes for their latest project, working with James Michael. Check out what they've been up to by clicking here, or on the picture at left. |

NOW I'LL PLUG A GREAT VOCAL CHAIN FOR ABSOLUTELY NO MONETARY GAIN, SIMPLY BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY THIS STUFF SOUNDS. START WITH A SOUNDELUX ELUX 251 TUBE MICROPHONE, PICTURED AT LEFT, AND YOUR SINGER IS GOING TO SOUND AS GOOD AS THEY EVER WILL, MALE OR FEMALE, FROM WHISPER TO WAIL. THIS MIC IS A MODERN DAY MANUFACTURE OF A TIME-TESTED DESIGN, SO THAT YOU GET A PROVEN QUALITY WITH THE BENEFIT OF LESS MAINTENANCE. I HAVE DONE THE SHOOT-OUTS FOR PROJECTS, AND THIS MIC ALWAYS SEEMS TO WIN, OR A LEAST TIE - AND SINCE I OWN THIS ONE, IT'S THE ONE THAT I USE! SOUNDELUX MAKES A FEW OTHER MICS THAT ARE TOP-OF-THE-LINE AS WELL, AND I WISH I COULD HAVE ONE OF EACH. |

DAKING'S MIC-PRE WITH EQ HAS ALL THE RIGHT PROPERTIES. I DON'T KNOW THE MATH, I JUST KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS GREAT! |

TUBE TECH'S CL-1B IS A COMPRESSOR THAT HAS REMAINED THE CHOICE OF MANY TOP ENGINEERS AND PRODUCERS FOR MANY YEARS. I USE IT AT THE SUGGESTION OF ONE OF THOSE GUYS, AND THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER BOXES THAT DO THE JOB IN DIFFERENT WAYS, THIS ONE PROCESSES THE SOUND IN A VERY MUSICAL WAY. I WILL ALSO PRAISE THE GML 20-20 UNIT - I JUST DON'T HAVE A PIC! |
