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.

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

I need help on choosing a Royer R-121, Royer R-122 or a Coles 4038

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

Hi all,

anyone got any advice on what mic's to go for when wanting to achieve a good ms stereo sound. Im aware that you need a figure 8 and cardiod, maybe someone has used 2 particular mic's that just work damn well together!

cheers,

Sammyg

those are my options,

Could anyone tell me the difference between these please?

Thanks.

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.

Okay first off heres what I've got

PreSonus Firepod
Cubase SX2
Beta 52
(2) SM57
couple of $100 Sennheiser Dynamic live Mics
couple of $100 Electro-Voice dynamic live mics
Peavey Diamond Series live vocal mic
some 58 knock offs
Nady 3 piece drum mic kit (tom mics work but kick is junk(as you all knew)

Question...

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?
