GUITAR MIC STUDIO DAY @ Pony Music - Sunday 29th July

We are having another Education/play day at Pony Music and you are invited. A cool day of Networking and playing with Audio Gear.

The day is to listen and compare guitar mics, learn more about guitar mics and micing up guitar cabinets and reamping in the Recording Studio.

When: Sunday 29th July
Time: Midday - late
Where: Pony Music Recording Studio - Hallam (Outer South-East Melbourne)

We will have a BBQ as well.

We were thinking about having a basic drum/bass track, recording/reamp guitar (the guitarist will be here all day anyway). we can do clean, grit and heavy guitar then close, mid and far mics..

Some of the mics up on test include
Shure SM57, SM7B
Neumann U67, U87, U47, U47Fet, TLM103
Royer R101
Coles 4038
AKG C12B

Echolette ES-14 (Sennheiser MD409)
Royer/Speiden SF12 (stereo)
A pair of Apex 205 cheapies hotrodded with Lundahl trannies
Sennheiser e609, e604, e601
Heil PR40
AEA R84 Ribbon
Audix I5
and more.... (feel free to bring down some mics to demo/show off and try against others).

We hope to see some of you on the day. All welcome.

Thats awesome!

I will be there for sure!

sounds good Damien, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to bring
BBQ!! awesome

Any of those Sundays work well for me, I mostly can't do Saturday

I can't do the 14th but the rest sound great to me. I probably don't have any mics that you don't already have out at Pony, but I've got a couple of rareish guitar amps?

All the fun shit happens in Melbourne. What's going on Sydney?

See edited post above for information...

I'm free at this stage and hope to make it this time.

Can help out on the 67 and earthworks.

I can bring:

Royer R101
Coles 4038
AKG C12B
Gefell UM70
Altec 633A
Echolette ES-14 (Sennheiser MD409)

its starting to look good.

oes anyone else have some nice toys that we may not have included?

you do have a Passive Link for reamping, yeah?

rob we have the green passive link and the red missing link (and the older Black V1 missing link).. as well as a great "Jim V box" with a bunch of transformers with various taps and a radial SGI... all for reamping

and the Translator...and my personal Pro Harmonic headphone amp....

to add the the other units that you have either fixed or modded

NEVE 33415 (2ch) racked
TELEFUNKEN V72 (2ch) / TELEFUNKEN V76 (2ch) re racked/brought back to life
BYER 66 (1ch) - racked
ROLA 77 (1ch) - racked
AUDITRONICS 501 (2ch) - racked
AEA TRP Ribbon Pre (2ch) - repaired

Neve 542 Console - bought back to life...

im sure there is some more of your greatness that we are missing or have neglected to list.....

as you can see, we LOVE rob..

excellent record keeping Damien!

I think this "event" you are planning is a great thing, there should be more of it. Nothing beats getting a bunch of like minded folk together with an array of tools to fiddle about with to compare ideas, expectations and results!

It won't be long now and Rick will be hosting a chisel shootout.

i'm holding out for his IEC lead shootout.

Just a reminder that the guitar mic day @ pony is coming up.

Sunday 29th July..

please let me know if you have any ideas...

i intend on having a guitarist and reamping stuff as well as playing...

cheers,

From all reports, pony is getting quite an amp collection as well as all the other awesomeness!

What time's kick off?

Got the family here from Tas/ACT and going to the footy in the arvo so might be able to swing by in the morning for a bit. Can't miss this!

Cheers

See edited post above for information...

I'll be there

Nice to see some Rola's / Byers in the pre shoot-out..

I can be there midday Damien but I'll have to leave around 4ish. I'll bring a few things

I'm a 20 year old student/studio monkey, would i be welcome to come by? It all sounds mighty interesting.

everyone is welcome.

Damn, have to work all day and night, shame to miss it. The SDC shootout was a blast.

Oh well, I'll be in next time.

Barney, Lee, David it would be great if you can bring the toys you have mentioned.. Then we will have a nice bunch of mics to capture some good air...

The BBQ will start about 1-2pm and we will start the studio about 11ish....

See you all there.

Here's a little flyer for Sunday I just made up for the event:



Hope to meet some of you on Sunday!
Geoff

Ha, looks great Geoff. I would have loved to go but have a job on all day.

Damien wrote:Barney, Lee, David it would be great if you can bring the toys you have mentioned.

All packed up and ready to go.

I have an old STC4033 too (hybrid moving coil / ribbon) with a wiring issue, but I could bring that too.

David

we will be doing mics only. not preamps etc. there is a large collection of mics to try.

it's going to be a fun day.
