help with bass drum micing
Forums
i'm finding that i'm having some trouble getting the bass drum to sound up front in the mix. i'm using a D112 about an inch away from the head aimed directly at the beater with the front head off and a blanket covering the bass drum. Why does it sound like i have reverb on the bass drum? thanks for your time.

Why buy an old classic mic instead of the new mic version?
Forums
For example why get an old AKG C12a when there is a new model AKG C414B XLII out there?
Actually it's my first time that I get the occasion to get an old classic mic and I was wondering if it was better to get the old model or get the new one...
thanks for the replies

Does anyone know where to get a mic repaired? It is a GT electronics AM51, I can't find any info from Alesis or from groove tubes on this mic. So I don't know what to do.
thanks

a mic fixer
Forums
Hey I've got a broken condenser mic, It is a LD made by GT Electronics, which I do believe is or has become Alesis, but its a AM51, They made some tube microphones too that were kind of popular but I have no idea where to send it or what to do.

Tube amp as a pre for mics?
Forums
So I have this all tube guitar amp, (Peavey Classic 30, highly under rated) which has a line coming out right after the preamp, to insert effects and such.
So I was wondering, is there a way to hook a mic into it, use it as mic preamp-amp(on the clean channel, I presume), then have that line out go to a mixer?
