In the late summer of 1972 I was living in Lucern Switzerland. Actually barely exisiting is a better description. I only had about 68 of the original 132lbs I came with and was pratically starving. The tip of my belt hung below my knee. I must have looked horrible. But I digress...
Just to wish all you vibers who are Irish or half Irish or who think or wish they were Irish a Happy St Patricks Day to you all, keep vibing. "Slainte Go Beo"
Go raibh do ghloine lán go deo.
Go raibh láidir go breá
an dion thar do cheann.
Go raibh tú í Neamh,
leathúair os comhair
a bhfuil a fhíos ag an diabhal
atá tú bás.
(translated)
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head.
be always strong.
May you be in heaven
a half hour before
the devil knows you're dead.
John
Check out Ed performing.
Learn Ed's signature "Fulcrum Grip"
Learn another one of Ed's great pieces.
Check out some great comping and soloing from Ed on vibes and some other great musicians.
The next "traditional" vibe hang is April 3 from 12-2 East Coast USA time.
I would LOVE to get more people involved. If we have to go longer than 2, then fine. You guys are posting videos and audios, so I know some of you can try this. You can use a web cam on your computer if you want. That will work ok with your computer mic.
In fact I have a bigger plan in mind… to have a whole day online music performance with vibes players from all over the world!!
Which of these microphones would you recommend and why?
1. Rodes NT5
2. AMT 404
Can anyone tell me what distinguishes one from the other?
I think they both come in matched pairs.
They are both polar cardiod condensor mics with near equivalent SPL level, THD, and sensitivty.
The frequency response from the Rode does go to 20hz. But for vibes this just means undesirable rumble.
The AMT costs $239 per pair I think. (Tony: There is no unit of measure at the store)
The Rode is around $450.
Has anyone done a sound comparison?
