i picked this up (at a higher price since its imported) at thebig music mall in Seoulits the "mic thing" by sm pro audioits helped me (along with a gate/compressor by t.c. electronic)to keep my signal nice and thick without all that record-in-your-apartment-while-you-say-its-your-"studio"-apartment-noiseits good for the people next door...im sure they go crazy hearingme record 30 takes for each phrase heheh..im not allowed to put anything on the walls, so this thing isportable(well kind of;) so i can pack it up in a jiffy if i need to relocate..im curious what you all use to tame down wild reflections: )(most probably a GOOD studio hehe) but i have found thereare ways to fake it till you make it: ) peacegeoff

"Fake it 'til you make it" <--------Now why didn't I think of that? I'm using the SE Reflexion and think it makes a big difference. I think SE was first out of the gate (only thing like it I found when I bought it), but I expect all these type things make a positive impact on micing in those "not so fresh" places. Heck I even used to put my head in it while mixing before I sprung for acoustic treatment

I agree --- I used to work as a wire hanger for my summer job when I was in college. It didn't pay much, but I enjoyed working with the other wire hangers. Funny guys! We would even hang out together after hanging wires all day, especially on Friday nights when we'd really "hang one on." Never even got hangovers the next day for some reason ---Ern

I'm too cheap for stuff like that. I just take a couple of boom stands, position them behind the mic like shown in your picture, and drap a quilt across them to form a nice, soft backstop for the mic. (Oops, did I say that out loud? )Jonathan
