... to each email I've received, I have replied to my knowledge. I'm starting
to wonder if we're having some sort of spam blocking issue?

Let's try this - if you have another account besides hotmail ( a known
source for pretty heavy volumes of spam and subject to heavy filtering as a
result ) you might hit me up at the email address I provided to you in our
previous emails. Believe me when I say I want to get this DVD into the hands
of anyone that wants to it, because Brian did such an amazing job of pouring
out information.

I recall, it is a Win98SE problem, and not a PARIS probem. Still, I only
get it in PARIS. Anyone have a good suggestion as to how I can get rid of
this?

ere for all three sessions. He's a local guy, but a great
session player with an exceptional GMS kit. It's a pain in the butt to set
up and track drums so after the first of the year I'm gonna have to either
start charging more for my studio time so I can cut back on my day job or
............I don't know, maybe train some other engineer on my rig.....at
least for tracking duties. My producer buddy Tim Sullivan is starting to
line up clients....some with deep pockets. I never thought I'd ever make a
go of this but the whole idea of building this studio was to get out of the
oil business and get back in the music business. It's been 8 years and more
thousands of dollars than I want to think about since I bought my Paris
system and started putting this studio together. I never thought I'd see it
happen that it would actually become profitable.......but it's looking like
I'll be seeing some black ink here. I ain't quittin' the day job just yet
though.

Very cool that you've got this happening. Nice to hear a story like this.

>Oh........and BTW, I'm expecting great things from these SE3 mics on OH's.
The large capsules in these really make a difference in getting more
frequency range out of the source while still achieving plenty of off axis
rejection so that focus is still preserved.

I've got a bunch of these mics here now on demo.
They are stacking up to be the equal, if not superior to my German mics. I'm
really liking the Titan better than my U87 (a Stephen Paul 87). I didn't
expect this to happen. What's driving me absolutely nuts is that I can't
afford to buy them all and still keep my current mic locker intact and the
way I do things around here is to experiment exensively with different
mic/preamp/source combinations so I've got a pretty good idea of how what
I've got will work in any given situation when a new client comes in with
and acoustic instrument and a limited budget. This saves lots of hours in
the studio and I've become comfortable with the tools I've put together
here. They may not be the most expensive, but they all get the job done in a
stellar way and now I'm going to have to make some choices PDQ and maybe
sell some of my other mics because I've come to depend on these SE's.

..........this is problem?

Just don;t hit anything on the error message, and go to the project window
and save under a new name. then hit the ok on the message.

>The Titan is a multipattern LDC with a titanium capsule. It's giving me a
lot of the U87 vibe without the honky mids that U87's are pretty well known
for. Part of this is resonance of the stock Neumann 87 capsule I think as it
seems to be pretty universal and can really bite you if the mic isn't
carefully placed.....but that and the fet head amp are part of the *sound*
of the 87. The Stephen Paul mod for a U87 offsets this by installing a
better capsule and tuning the head amp, thus creating more air and a little
top boost at around 10-12k. The Titan doesn't sound exactly like a Stephen
Paul U87, but it does have some of the same vibe in that it produces a
*cleaner* midrange to my ears while opening up the top end and it doesn't
sound cheap or brittle. The Fig8 setting on the Titan is very nice as it can
smooth out the *inyourfaceness* that LDC mics can exhibit on some sources
in cardioid. The TEF sorta' speaks for itself.

http://www.seelectronics.com/Titan.html

If I was just looking at the TEF, I would immediately think 'woah....this is
gonna be a bright mic". What this curve seems to do is work really well to
"demud" dark sources without sounding strident.
