Just getting started but trying not to waste any money.

I'm looking at K&M mic stands. Should I be going for a fixed or telescopic boom? Shorter stand and longer boom or the other way round?

I will generally be recording either a standing singer or a seated speaker.

The specifications of the models I'm considering are as follows:

I'm new to recording and am looking for a good quality usb mic to record onto my computer. What are the best ones available?

Hello all. I have recently purchased a set of Neumann KM184 mics and a set of Royer R-121 mics. The problem is that I can really only keep one set, but I don't know which ones to choose. Obviously they both have their own sound and ideal purpose. Can anyone please give me some advice on this? Is there a good reason to keep all of them? Thanks much!

I have $1500.00 the area in which I lack most in my studio (home studio)
Is a high-endvocal mic or preamp, my main mic now is a RODE NT1 and a PreSonus pre, if you had the money what would you get? a U87 vox mic or a high-endpre, I am not knowledgeable in this area I just know my vox arent up to par with the rest of the recordings, I use a 4X4 vocal booth,

hello

i'd like to know what you guys do to seperate the parts of a song dynamically.
i often find when i mix something, although i like the overall sound, there's no real seperation between, let's say, the verse and the chorus. i'd like the chorus to be "louder" than the rest without just making it louder.

Does anyone have any microphone/Preamps they would recommend?

Has anyone tried the M-Audio Luna - mic? Any comments?

Product availability in Canada is also a must! (I'm sure all major brands are available here...but I'm not really sure).

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris

Hi everyone,

what do you use as a hi hat mic.

This is my current mic closet:

AT4033 (2)
AKG C414 (1)
AKGD112(1)
SM57(2)
AKG C1000(2)
SM58 (1)
MD421 (2)

I am looking to just start recording some audio with a microphone and i want to get a great sound but i have no idea what i need. Okay i dont want to do it with MIDI like a direct input from a guitar to my soundcard. I need to record acoustic drums which obviously dont have an input so thats why i need a mic.

If anyone has used the Peluso CEMC6 to tape live concerts (not piano recitals), I'd be very interested in hearing your opinions. I'm really interested in figuring out the difference between the card cap and the wide card cap? The set I'm thinking of buying allows me to choose any 3 caps of 4 offered (card, wide card, hypercard and omni).

Thanks.
