Moog Music Forum

I am having a heck of a time getting a good, non-noisy sound for recording.
So I am curious. What setup did Moog use when recording the various videos ?

Can anyone from Moog outline what was used?

Anyone else have a good clean setup to share?

thanks

Well I have just given up on the moog mag pickups for recording as they are extremely noisy. You should be able to get good results from the piezo though.

Some basic things to try:

1. Use eq to drop of the top end and also from less that 100hz a tad.

2. Roll off the volume control on the guitar, distortion can be introduced here.

3. Always have the vo power control on a bit, this gets rid of the annoying hi freq digital type noise.

4. Try different pre-amps.

In the end I just gave up on getting a decent sound out of my mag pups though, this is mostly as I like trebly sounds and they are just too noisy for that.

I get good results using a VG-99 via the 13 pin output, but thats not much help if you don't have the midi version.

Cheers

Ya, I think you may be right. Moog seems uninterested. Also, I notice as I re-listen to various videos - they use the piezo sound a
lot in those. Oh well. MIDI works good.
