This Sunday I’m recording a chamber ensemble in a 450-seat auditorium. I’ve got my main pair figured out, but thought I would try hanging a pair of microphones off the balcony to record the audience and get some ambient sounds that I can blend into the main mix. These mics would be about 30 feet or so from the lip of the stage.

Hello there,

I'd like to get information from people using those new ribbon mics.

I'm planning to buy a pair of ribbon.

- APEX 210
- SHINYBOX 23
- NADY RSM-2
- T.BONE RB500

Those appear to be the same microphone.

Anyone here has ever used one of them or has made comparison with others?

I'm looking to add a couple mics to my setup. Right now all I have is an AT4033. I'm mainly recording vocals and recording acoustic guitar. The Heil PR40 seems nice for the price but I've never heard one, any opinions? Also curious if anyone here as any tips for getting decent mics on a budget?

I'm tracking guitars for my band and need some good starting advice on how to adjust my gain stages to get a clear heavyily distorted tone that sounds tight...

hello,

I want to build an array of mics for direccional detection of acoustical signal about 6-10 meters from the sound source

What are the most direccional shotguns you know of ?

I am looking for some advice regarding location recording using a multicore cable.
I have heard that it is better to place a mic preamp BEFORE the signal goes through a long cable to minimize the signal losses.
So my question is: Is this true and if yes, what can be regarded as a long cable?

I just did a quick and dirty comparison of a mic I was considering buying for studio - the BCM104. I was attracted to it because it uses the 04 capsule which is used in the Solution D - a very expensive mic - while the BCM104 is well below 1000. It was made for broadcast and those are often good studio mics (look at the PL20, RE20 etc).

Hi All,

was wondering, what is the best way to eq o/h drum mic track.
If you are taking out a certain frequency on the snares close mic, does this mean you should take it out on the o/h signal?

Thanks,

I'm going to start recording soon and i was wondering if anyone knows what is a good inexpensive overhead drum microphone is a bass drum microphone is?

I need some quick opinions on overhead preamps around 1500, must be a stereo pair
