ok i m Micing a 4x12 cab with a sm57 Micing the center of the cone, and read that a u87 at the edge of the cone is quiet good for taking low end as a second mic, but there is my question how far from the cab do i put the u87, in which direction, what type of capture do i choose ?

Ive browsed round this site for a while looking for a definate answer to my question. But the content is so strewn about, with no definate answers to my question:

What is a great mic for distorted electric guitar?

Hey all!
My first post here so be nice...

Im currently using a K2 and the Focusrite voicemaster pro + MOTU 828 mk2 for my male vocal takes... and I've been playing around with the voicemasters compressor... mostly getting good results!

Hi everyone

I'm just wondering if people here use the 'standard' classical mics for rock music.

The mics I mean are by Schoeps, DPA/B&K, Sennheiser MKH series.

Just wondering...

I got a hold of some mics and recording equipment today, and sadly the connection I thought might work for me, won't. For these mics, I'll need something to convert from the mic cable size to 1/4" (patch cable size), or even headphone size (1/8"). The only thing I have access to that can do that is the actual mixing board, which I'm not at liberty to use.

I wasn't sure if I should bring my old topic back to the top of this forum, so I'm starting another one...hope that's ok. My budget is around $1000 for a bass amp mic. I'm aiming for a fairly professional sound.
The mic's I'm considering are:
Soundelux iFET7-1,890
Soundelux U195-$1,095.00
Electro-Voice RE20-$429.97
AKG D112-$200

Anyone use one of these? I know a guy who might be willing to sell and just wanted to get some input. How is it on snare and guitar cabs?

Thanks

Hi, I am currently in the market to buy a shotgun mic for on site dialogue and sound effcts in post ( both for filmmaking). I have been recommended a Sennheiser me66 which varies in price from $400-700. Would you guys suggest another microphone instead of the me66?. Are there any key things I should look for? My budget for mics is only $500ish or less as of now.

I am having a tough time getting good distortion recording from my 4x12 cab. Ive tried all different Micing arrangements. I am using a sm-57 and or a Sennheiser E609. When I mic up a 1x10 combo amp get a sweet distortion rec. Does anybody have any suggestions on what my problem might be. This is driving me nuts.

Everyone has told me that i should at least have one really good condenser mic for my studio. I am wondering what you guys would recommend. Im not looking to break the bank here, but i am willing to spend around 1200. How do the AKG 414's sound in comparison to the Neumannn's? Specifically the tlm 127? Any other recommendations?
