Recently I mixed a show with a traditional Indian band (Congas, a double ended drum, harmonium, tamborine, shaker and vocal). Unfortunately I only had dynamic mics and although I got a resonably good sound it was a struggle to get enough volume before feedback. The room was timber and glass and very live. The stage seemed to resonate at about 200Hz which didn't help at all.

I am building my first project studio and I need some advice choosing a good tube based condenser mic for vocals.

my budget is roughly $500-$600 and while I usually prefer to buy used, the delicate circuitry of these mics makes me want to go for a new one so I can be sure there are no surprises.

hey there
i just saw a couple of m640n's for sale.
they look nice
anyone have experience with these?
or some info?
i believe they're dynamics.
they have DIN connectors i think.

Is anyone here able to recommend a capable, trustworthy microphone repair service? That seems to be pretty specialized knowledge.

I am currently looking for a really nice mic to invest in. I would like to keep the price low but for nice I know that really isn't a option. I used a mic at a friends studio a while back for synths and vocals called the Neumann u47. It was made somewhere around the 50's. I am trying to find something of similar variety. Does anyone happen to know anything about RODE mics?

Hi,

I have a chance to buy two peaces of K2, cheaper, and I heard at this microphones are not so bad. Does anyone have experiance with K2 and is it worth to use them for any serious classical recording session?

Your thoughts are appreciated!

thank you,

Bratislav :(

Hello All,

Wondering if anyone can help me find a M62 Capsule for a Neumann 582 mic.

Many thanks in advance

I'm getting a little ferklempt, I'll give you a topic...

Mixing methodology. How do we normally tackle the mix? Build up a drum mix, followed by bass, and up to guitars and vocals? Or start off with solo vocals / lead element at a certain volume (?), and bring up the other elements around that?

Hello. I'm a newb to recording.org, and I found this site after watching audioforums.com get less and less active.

I have seen a couple of recordists [?] place their microphones [stereo bar] on the floor in front of an elevated stage at about stage floor level, slightly to stage left to record student recitals at the school where I work.

They have done this to be visually unobtrusive.
