Mics picking up dampers too much

Forums

I recorded my Yamaha baby grand the other night and the mics were picking up too much of the dampers. I used one SM81 pointed a little in front of the dampers an octave below middle C 3 ft back, another 81 pointed past the dampers an octave below middle C about 5 feet back, and a Royer R121 about 4 feet from the second 81 to pick up the whole piano. Any mic position tips you guys could offer?

i have a band coming in, i was wondering if any body knew how i could just connect an amp head direct to the house then to a track on the computer... my main delema: if i connect it from the output on the amp.. will the signal be too high or amperage to high that it will blow out my board?

thanx

Mic case

Forums

I need to purchase a mic case (for protecting my mic's going to gigs) for appox 12 to 15 microphones. Maybe as many as 25 mic's, or I could just buy two cases.
I looked at the usual places. I'm not too crazy about the ATA stuff or the SKB cases for mic's.
I would like some sort of hard shell design. And I like the silver finish, sort of like a metal looking swirl design.
