First up,..hello folks,...And what a great find this site is :D

I'm looking to buy a stand-alone digital multi-tracker that can handle 16 simultaneous mics as I play large drum kits amd want to close-mic as much as possible.

I need a nice all around vocal mic, but with it mainly being used for several different female vocals. And as my topic of this thread suggests, I want some "nicer" then what I have which is a AT3035 and Beta 57a. Budget is $500.

Hey, Im having a problem getting my microphone working, I have posted in other forums, who have sent me here to try my luck.

I'm looking for a mic in the 500 dollar range that will be nice for recording a variety of things; namely vocals (male and female) and acoustic violin. The RODE NTK mic seems like a nice choice. I have yet to listen to it, but I know many of you either own one or have used one.

Hi i am using this mic called Shure sm. some number. i was wondering is that a good mic...its gonna be used for a singing performance

just wondering what the peeps are using a lot of these days.

I know there old, but i just can't seem to get enough of the Focusrite 6 band EQ, and I almost always start compressing with the fairchild 660.
for limiting, i like the plain jane digirack limiter II.
has anyone used the new III series?

oh yeah, as if i need to say it I'm using Pro Tools.

Hey Guys,

i was wondering what would be better for recording cymbals the nt4 or the nt5

I am an amateur trying to record some own solo compositions on my acoustic guitar.

I want to ask about this setup:

A M/S couple 100 cm from guitar and a "spot mic" 50 cm from guitar
(in the middle between guitar ans M/S couple).

I record in a corner (facing the corner and M/S 80 cm from corner).

What about phase problems ?

Can someone clarify what 'nominal impedance' is when given in mic specifications. I believe that with loudspeakers the nominal impedance is the lowest impedance above the resonant frequency of the speaker itself. Is this true of mics also or am I shooting in the wrong direction...
