Review of Cascade X-15 Stereo Ribbon Microphone – Salt Lake City Recording Studio Review
For sometime I have not been super satisfied with the electric guitar sound that I have been getting. My recording studio, Independent Music Studios in Salt Lake City, has been targeted at acoustic oriented bands. Heavy Distorted guitars, rap music, these are things that I record, but not because I have felt the strongest with these genre’s. For that reason I have felt that there is a need for some improvements in these areas. While not terrible, the sound is missing the aggressive but not abrasive, smooth without being muddy, and open without sounding hyped in the higher frequencies sound that I hear in other recordings. I used a Royer r-121 to record a Hammond B-3 on Chantelle Riches jazz pop album April Fooled and loved the way it sounded. In fact it was perfect. I fell in love with ribbon mics from there on out, maybe not on all sources, but certainly on most.
However, the Royer is a bit out of my price range at the moment. After researching other alternatives including the BLUE Woodpecker, the new Shure Ribbons (not any cheaper than the Royers), and some of the of the lower cost alternatives like Cascade, I decided it was high time to get a ribbon mic. But which one, and what price, and in what applications would I use these mics?

Beats software is a relatively new addition to the music industry. It lets you professionally produce your individual custom tracks with nothing more than your personal computer and an inexpensive software program. In comparison to the cost of setting up a recording studio beats software is the only way to go for start up artists. Many people believe good recording software is extremely expensive and it did used to be. But there have been advances with technology, and there is much more competition in the market which has driven the prices way down. Professional beats software can be easily afforded by almost anyone on any budget. With today’s advancements in technology it isn’t necessary to spend countless dollars on recording equipment.
