Testing Placement of RODE NT5's with the Guzheng (Chinese Zither)

Forums

Just starting using a pair of RODE NT5's with directional capsules to record the guzheng. After some experimenting with positions, I've settled on both overhead, one on each side, about 3ft from the instrument. I've added no effects to this recording other than a compressor. What do you think?

Audio Quality - Behringer C-3 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Forums

Hey!

I record with a Behringer C-3 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone at home. And I don't have an acoustically treated space to record in - I do the maximum amount of soundproofing I can possibly do at home.

Here's a sample of what the mixes currently sound like:

Mic pattern question .

Forums

A couple of weeks back we did a gig at our local jazz club . I took the lap top and put the AKG414
eqUA distance between the 1 tom,snare and kick . Probably 6 0r 7 inchs from each .
The pattern was 360 on the mic . The result was great except for a pesky ride . It was a very dark ride ( no sustain)with too much clunk when hit constantly near the bell .
