TL Audio VP-1 Mono Tube Vocal Processor $2999 In recent years, the analog voice processor has become an indispensable direct link between microphone and multi-track recorder, enabling engineers to capture the highest quality vocal sound on tape or hard disc without the compromises in sound quality that most mixing consoles impose. Going straight to multitrack through a well-designed voice processor has unlocked the true potential of microphones and transformed the sound of modern vocal recordings.TL Audio has long recognized the benefits of this approach, including high-quality mic preamps on every Valve Classics product since the original EQ-1 Dual Valve Equalizer was launched in 1993. The VP-1 is the latest addition to the Valve Classics range, and combines all the best elements of the PA-1 pentode preamp, C-1 compressor, and EQ-2 parametric equalizer to create a truly flexible and spectacular-sounding valve front end for any audio system.The VP-1 features seven valve stages, run from a stabilized 250v DC supply. The first stage is a Siemens EF86 pentode in the front end of the preamp, followed by six Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A stages: one in the secondary stage of the preamp, one in the compressor, and four in the EQ section.About TL Audio TL Audio began manufacturing audio products in 1990, when the company - founded by Tony Larking - was largely involved in the restoration and reselling of vintage equipment such as Neve and Trident recording consoles. The first TL Audio products were original Neve EQ modules, which were taken principally from broadcast consoles and repackaged to make them suitable for music production studios. A little later, Tony Larking joined forces with David Kempson, a leading designer at Neve for nine years. By 1993 the demand for used valve outboard equipment had become very strong but most models such as the original Pultec and Fairchild valve devices were already extremely rare and expensive. There appeared an obvious gap in the market for brand new affordable valve products and the result was TL Audio's first valve product - the EQ-1 Dual Valve Equalizer. This product revolutionized the studio market by offering reliable, flexible, great sounding valve processing that was within the budget of most studios. The EQ-1 quickly attracted the interest of mainstream engineer/producers, with the first two production models going to Roy Thomas Baker (who had produced many of Queen and Foreigner's early recordings) and Chris Porter (who was working with George Michael and Take That).The EQ-1 was the first of what became known as the 'Classic' range, and was followed by what has become possibly TL Audio's best known product - the C-1 Dual Valve Compressor, which shot to stardom as Chris Fogel's mixdown compressor on Alanis Morissette's multi-million selling Jagged Little Pill album. Today, TL Audio has become one of the most respected names currently manufacturing Pro Audio |

Chameleon Labs 7602 Mkii Microphone Preamplifier/Equalizer $719 The Model 7602 MKII from Chameleon Labs is the sequel to the 7602 Microphone Preamplifier / Equalizer. New features in the MKII model include selectable mic impedance, LED input metering, upgraded knob styles, and two different power optionsall of this for the same price as the original unit. The signal processor ships with an inline power transformer (all regulation is done inside the unit). The rackmountable CPS-1 can also still be used, but is no longer required. The 7602 MKII Microphone Preamplifier/Equalizer is based on a classic and revered design utilizing pure Class 'A' circuitry. This unit is made with 100% discrete components, hand wound transformers and was fabricated to precisely match vintage counterparts manufactured in the early to mid 70's. Equalizer Section (Selectable 3 band design with a flexible filter section): Filter This is a high pass filter with 3db loss at 300Hz, 160Hz, 80Hz, and 50Hz with an 18db cut per octave slope. Low Equalization This section has a shelving slope with four frequency selections: 220Hz, 110Hz, 60Hz, and 35Hz. This equalizer affects the selected frequency and all others below it. The gain control provides 20db of boost or cut. Mid Equalization This section has a peaking characteristic with six frequency selections: 360Hz, 700Hz, 1.6k, 3.2k, 4.8k, and 7.2k. The gain control provides 20db of boost or cut. High Equalization This section has a shelving characteristic with five frequency selections: 16k, 12k, 7k, 4.9k and 3.4k. This section adjusts the selected frequency and all others above it. The gain control provides 20db of boost or cut. Electronics By employing classic circuit design, polystyrene capacitors, a gold contact ELMA gain selector and custom wound transformers, Chameleon Labs ensures that the Model 7602 MKII will exhibit classic audio sound. The Model 7602 MKII has a transformer balanced input with a range between 20dB and 80 dB of gain. The separate line input is transformer balanced and accepts input levels from -20 to +10dB. Power Options The Model 7602 MKII features two different power options: 24VAC Adapter: Each Model 7602 MKII ships with a mid-line power supply, type-dependent on country of operation. This is not a traditional "wall-wart" but simply an outboard AC transformer. DC filtering and regulation is accomplished inside the 7602 MKII itself. CPS-1 Dual Power Supply (sold separately): For users who prefer a rack-mounted power option, the 7602 MKII preamp / EQ may instead be powered by the CPS-1 Dual Power Supply. The CPS-1 is offered as an optional accessory and can provide power to two 7602 MKII units. Users will need to contact their preferred dealer to acquire the DC Cable needed to connect the CPS-1 and 7602 MKII. What Makes Chameleon Labs Different? Chameleon Labs is a new type of company, focused on delivering performance and value at a price previously thought impossible. How do they do it? By reinventing how global manufacturing is approached. Chameleon Labs engineers |

Manley Reference Cardioid Microphone And Voxbox Combo Xv Limited Edition Package $6840 Both the Manley Reference Cardioid Microphone and the VOXBOX Combo Voice Processor are top-of the-line, high-end vocal recording elements that sit comfortably in any professional or personal studio environment; and are now offered together in a limited edition package. Manley Reference Cardioid MicrophoneThe Manley Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a center-fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. With similar film thickness and construction; high frequency resonance (a little edge); proximity effect; and pretty good immunity from pops and sibilance problems, the Reference Cardioid more closely recalls how many of the vintage European tube mics such as the beloved U47 sounded like when they were new.The Manley mic's rich tonal balance and liquid character is consistently admired for instruments such as guitars, drum overheads, saxophone, and especially vocals. With your present mic, if you find yourself leaning on your compressors and boosting 5 or 10K to score a bit more body in your tracks, then the Reference Cardioid just might be the mic you're looking for. VOXBOX Combo voice processorWhen Manley created the VOXBOX Combo voice processor they decided to pull out all the stops and make a truly professional high-end statement. One that covered all the needs of both project songwriters and big-time major studios alike. One whose all-tube signal path could bring every instrument and overdub to life. One that, plain and simple, sounded unquestionably better than the rest, provided flexibility, simplicity, and thought-out ergonomics Microphone Preamplifier SectionThe mic preamp is a clone of a highly regarded and popular mic pre: the Manley Mono Microphone Preamplifier! The mic input transformer is Manley's own design wound in-house at the Manley Labs factory. High current 48V Phantom power is switchable from the front panel. A simple and effective passive BASS CUT switch kills rumble and reduces popping. The VOXBOX's INPUT ATTENUATOR is a variable pad control situated before the first tube stage allowing the preamplifier to accommodate +4 line level signals via the balanced LINE INPUT and instruments via the front panel 1/4" DIRECT INPUT. These inputs are selected in the middle position of the dual-function phase invert switch. Manley provided both transformer balanced XLR output as well as a transformerless "audiophile" 1/4" phone jack output. The Gain switch is actually a clever variable feedback control that changes not only the gain but also the slew rate and flavor of the circuit. With it you can choose how laid back and mellow or how up-front and aggressive you want it to get. See "Notes on Variable Feedback" for more info. Headroom is a strong point in this circuit, +31dBu capable. This is 5 to 10 dB better than almost all other pro gear. The music passes through only super-clean pure Class A vacuum tube circuitry.

Use your Musical Capabilities to Their Hilt
If you are a party animal and have been drawing praise all your life for your lovely voice, maybe it is time your spread the wings of your talent. Use your voice to reach out to more people, and gain fame and recognition by using the simple tips given here.
Live recording is done through what is called "audio" which is an actual music recording of a live sound, just like a tape recording. Let us see what all gadgets are required to fulfill your dream.
a. Digital multitrack recorder
b. Microphone.
c. Audio interface/sound card.
d. Studio headphones
Gadget 1 - Get your digital multitrack recorder or software multitrack sequencer.
Decide where you want to record your audio. Here are some of the considerations. If you wish to use your computer's program, that's great and lot of money is saved. With a good quality sound card, you can record at very high fidelity.
Using a computer as a home recording studio has its ups and downs. While convenience and economy are the biggest positive, as you don’t have to look around much for laying your hands on one, be aware of the possible negatives as well. First and foremost, computers are sometimes unreliable, especially if you are using an older version for high end work that needs more memory. You are unlikely to enjoy losing lots of time and hard work when the computer freezes that becomes more likely the more you demand CPU power for multiple tracks and adding things such as reverb and echo. Go for upgrading your computer with a bigger hard disk and RAM as well as an additional Audio/Graphics card to enhance your work experience. If buying a new computer, go for a high-end processor for the best results.
Further, it is somewhat inconvenient to mix your digital music recording on a computer with a mouse. It can be done for starters, however, and for simple 4 to 8 track projects, you'll do just fine.
On the other hand, using an external digital multitrack recorder has many advantages – as they are more reliable, easier to mix with because they have those old familiar faders, and generally are of higher sound quality. They also come with internal effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, which can crash the computers. The disadvantages are of course the cost, albeit not so bad, and the limited number of tracks (usually 8 to 24).
A proper connection and synchronization with the computer has to be looked into while deciding on an external device. You need to look into the capability of the device to record numerous versions of the bass and choose the final product you desire.
Once you've analyzed your needs, you can go and get the home recording studio recorder or program you wish to work with. An external controller board is required if you are using a software analyzer which will give you real faders for mix down, which can relieve you of the inconvenience of the mouse.
In part two of this article, we shall examine the rest of the essential gadgets required by you for successful music recording, i.e., the microphone, the audio interface/sound card, and the studio headphones and recording gear.
Till then, keep practicing those wonderful vocal chords to prepare for the ultimate experience you have always dreamed of.
