DIY Mic Pre Kits, Lunchbox Mic Preamp Kits, Power Supply Kits

I have a clip of one of my songs using the X-72 with my Bluebird mic for vocals here: http://www.shopofolives.com
It's a 24-bit WAV. It's been "Ghetto Mastered" upon bouncing.

I just got the X-72 and haven't had a chance to REALLY play with it, and just threw together a take that is "OK". My goal was to get a condenser sound that wasn't too harsh in the high frequencies. Both my Bluebird and Studio Projects C-1 have always had exaggerated highs that add that annoying "tizz". The X-72 smoothed out those mics a LOT, but being cheaper LDC's, you still can't get rid of it completely. Oh, and I think I had the x-72 gain up pretty high, in hopes that the transformers would do some extra "smoothing".

So far, I'm in love with this preamp. It instantly sounds "processed", and EQ is mostly unnecessary.

Uhhh, poop... I got a little too excited and posted a clip too early. It's not ready yet, so I'm going to take it out until I get something that had some more effort put in to it.

I chose another song to post, it's still the same link.
This song I threw together with all five fish preamps.

Very nice recording! I've heard some good things about those Heil mics - it sounds great on the background vocals. Love the drums, too... amazing that was done with just one room mic!
