So you want to know what else I have in the old home studio since I mentioned my Korg 32 track and KRK Rokits? Yeah, everyone figured out it was the Korg D-3200 pretty easily. It is, after all, the only hard disk 32 track I’m aware of, and it has been around for a number of years. So stop patting yourself on the back.

What else? I’ve looked at and sampled a number of mics over the years. Electro-voice, CAD, Audio Technica and Olympus microphones. I’ve had good results with all, but the mics I use most are a number of road worn Shures (57s and 58s), some hard working and inexpensive AKGs that have a bit of a hotter signal than the Shures (and an on/off switch) and some budget condensors from MXL. Thankfully the Korg provides phantom power for the MXLs so I can get some old school warmth once in a while.
