got an on location session tomorrow recording upright and baby grand in very small room with wall treatment on every wall above pianos and brick below (still very live). Never recorded piano before, I have these mics

My pride and joy (U87 w/ Klause Heynes mod) is distorting any time it's being pushed with loud vocals. I've tried different pre's, cables, and other mics and everything is pointing to my Neumann. (my other mics sound great) Is there a certain way I should try the switches / configuration on the U87. Right now both switches on the back of the mic are "Open". Not sure...

Hi.. I'm new here! Came here via a link to the RecorderMan method thread. Just starting out with this whole home recording studio thing, and I'd like to try out the RecorderMan method on my drums. But I need some suggestions for some microphones. I need a pair of microphones that I can use for both overhead, and later for close Micing the snare/kick drum. (I only have two inputs).

Hi guys

i was watching a documentry about Tin Pan Alley and how they created the echo chamber by recording in the bathroom, because of the reverb coming off the chiprock.

if wanting to record at home, would you recommend using these technic or can you give me any advice into creating a affordable echo chamber mic room.

cheers

Hi guys

i have just purchased a ALTO S-16 serise mixer and a pro studio mic AKG 2000B . I only have a IBM system at home and i was told to buy the M-BOX to start digital recording.

Hello,

I'd like to know if some of you has ever tested those M-Audio Nova microphones.

How do they sound?

Please, let me/us know.

Thanks.

Hi.
I just recently hooked up a mixer a friend gave me, which is in perfect condition and a brand new SM58. I'm running the SM58 directly into the mixer, and the mixer to my computer using two red and white rca cords into a 1/8 inch adaptor which goes into the "In" on my computer.

Hi Yall
So I Have this great invention in mind.
A phantom powered Buffer for ribbon mics such as the Nady RSM-2 or Oktava ml-52, beyer m130 etc.

Can someone tell what the big deal is about the KM84 vs KM814? Why do the 84's sell for so much more money? Is it due to supply and demand since the 84s are no longer made or is there really that big of quality difference between the newer and older versions?

I appreciate any/all comments from those who have done the a/b with both models...

Thanks!
