Hello all. This is my first official post. Yep, another newbie. Anyway, I know this a loaded question but I have to ask anyway. I've read a lot of professional advice on here so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm struggling with capturing my amps true character when I record.

I am using a seven piece samson drum mic set.
-2x o/head condensers
-1x snare
-3x toms
1x kick.

Does anyone else use these mics, or had any experience with them?

If so any inherent issues with them?

Any tips for thier use?

How do they go with other instrument recording? If OK what combinations?

Guzzy :-?

Folks,

Please can you someone suggest me a good small diaphragm condenser mic.

Hey. So, I've spent the better part of an hour searching the forums, but I can't seem to find much on acoustic guitars. Am I just being slightly naive in assuming that there are really techniques for Micing acoustic guitars? Or, perhaps it's very simple and not especially noteworthy? Either way, I was just wondering what people thought.

Hello all, this is my first post here but I have been reading and this is a really great place. I have a couple of questions I'm sure you guys might have advice about.

I've been on a Radiohead, Hail to the Thief kick lately, and the mastering is very quiet, with excellent dynamics. So, I've been trying very hard to work with dynamics in my masters lately, while preserving loud volume. Here is the latest experiment at -9 dB RMS in the loud section. How dynamic or squished does this clip sound to everybody?

The music I am recording is Heavy Metal. I have been preparing to record guitar tracks for my bands CD. I'm playing a Marshall stack through a AVT150 Head. The order or setup is:

Guitar-Pedals-StageworksEQ-MarshallHead-Alesis3630Compressor to SM57 "flat" towards the angle of the cone which goes into an ART DPS II Stereo Tube Preamp which than goes into a Yamaha AW1600.

Hello Folks,

I am currently Micing my 2 X 12 cabinet using a SM57. I am using a Focusrite Twintrak Pro Preamp. From the preamp, I am routing it to my BOSS BR1180 and the output then goes to a small mixer which in turn feeds my Event TR8 monitors.

I just got a 2nd hand RODE NT2-NC.Just wondering whats the difference between NT2 and NT2-NC?It saids Manufactured in Australia.But I heard someone saids Those NT2 does comes with the hard case(Like mine) were made in china or something.I read a lot of Review of NT2.Just wanna know if i got the right one.

Thanks everyone

Hi all,

Basically I'm about to splash out on another mic... just wondering about any suggestions! I'll list the mics I've got first. Also, I know this question seems stupid, but how does my mic locker hold up? Good/Crap?
