Hello!

I once heard a comparison between an old ribbon and a new sennheiser, on voice, and was quite taken away with the natural, non-hyped texture of the ribbon. Alwaz wanted to have one since.

Now, being a bit impatient as i am i was looking at this :

maybe this is another remedial question, but for the guys that want to saturate their tubes and overdrive their speakers without an attenuator for that purist effect; do they just place a mic many feet back from the amp? can you give me some examples if any of big name guitarists who have done this?

Hello everyone, I was looking for opinions on the Neumann TLM49 and the M147 tube/solid state mic.

Sonically?

What Instruments did you get good results from with it?

Any cool techniques or genres it really fits into?

Anything else?

Anybody have any tips for this? I'm thinking we'll take a DI right off the organ, then I'll put a 414 on the Leslie (my only other available option for mics would be a 57).

I'm wondering if i should use the pad on the 414? i'm thinking i want to get the mic as close as possible to minimize bleed, and these guys play at a fairly loud volume...

I have a Shure KSM 44 mic. $799.97
I am thinking about a Neumann TLM 49. $1,499.00
My preamp is a Vintech x73i

Here is my question. Will I hear a noticeable improvement in recording to justify the extra expense? Thank-you 8)

P.S. sorry didn't see the other thread I could have posted under.

WHich one should i use that sounds the best and cost efficient?

Whats up playaz and hataz,

Hi All -

My girlfriend is a violinist and I've been recording some of her chamber music performances. I'm relatively new at it. Of course I'd like to improve, but right now I'm more concerned with learning the basics than producing a perfect product.

I am looking for a good quality microphone to mic a grand piano (playing with a full band) in a 1,500 seat church with decent acoustics and a good sound system. The music style is contemporary (the newer music is getting more hard rock like). It will not generally be moved. The lid will be on the lowest position.

i have a 32-bit Creative sound card and i wanna purchase a new semi-proffisional mic for home recording using a pc BUT i dont have a mixer.
my question is, do i need a mixer to be able to use Condenser Mics ?
and what Mics do you reccomand in my case
