Firstly I'd like to mention that I am planning to use the microphones as overheads.
Ok I have narrowed down my choices to these, in order of price.

Hello there.
I'm looking to buy a pair of overhead mics.
My budget is 700ish at max for a pair, but I don't want the "best" for my budget, in the sense I don't want to spend a lot more for an improvement that isn't significant, but I am willing to spend that much if it's at least somewhat of a significant improvement.

just wondering what the general view is on compressing the overhead drum mics during tracking. Necessary?,Stupid?,Imperative?
I realize that its mostly a matter of opinion and taste,but if anybody has any input or suggested threshold/ratio-attack/release settings theyd like to share id dig it very much.

:lol: Hi Guys

I have problem with my OH setup, coz I hear the Hi-hat is more dominant than others,.Why?

Btw any body have Pictures with drum Micing setup?

Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good pair of Drum Overhead Mics?
Thanks.

Hi!

I'm trying to record drumset for few songs (demos). I got three mics for overheads. Which mics would you choose (recommend) to use for overheads: 2x

I've read through the original post many times but I still can't get it right. Can someone 'dumb-down' the setup of this technique for Drum OHs? I just got a set of Studio Projects C4's and I'd like to use them in this method.

Please no flames about the mic choice. Just the facts about setting up and using the RecorderMan Technique.

Thanks,

Chris

I am in the market for a different pair of overhead piano mic's, to use for FIELD RECORDING ie concerts etc.. I record acoustic piano jazz trio's on location. I am looking at Gefell, Josephsons or Beyer.

Would any of you have sound samples or recordings using these mic's on a grand piano?

I'm in the market for some budget overheads mics. Looking to spend no more than $500 for the pair. They'll be used mainly for rock and blues music. I've got my eye on a pair of the Shinybox 23C's but the figure-8 pattern worries me cause my drum room ceiling is only 7.5' (2.28m). Do you think I could get away with it if the ceiling is treated for early reflections?

I'm going to start recording soon and i was wondering if anyone knows what is a good inexpensive overhead drum microphone is a bass drum microphone is?
