Hello Everyone,

I need to get a pair of good LDCs, for general use, especially for Overheads and vocals.

Here's what I have now:
m-audio delta 1010
Mackie 1604 vlz pro
Hamptone VTP2 on the way

2 c1000s
1 c3000b
2 sm57
1 sm58
1 at pro37
1 AKG d112
1 Sennheiser md421

Below is a quote from "recorderman"

I want a good mic and/or pre that will give me a dirty saturated color. I am not looking for anything clean just something for heavy rock/metal/hardcore with lots of screaming and try on a drum room mic. I hear a lot of good screaming from bands and i don't know what they used to get that sound.

I simply want a setup that has a mic dedicated to a purpose so I can focus more on music (various forms of rock) rather than recording technique. Any help regarding this is MUCH appreciated.

PREAMP:

SMPro Audio Pr8 (modded) & 1 $300-$500 channel for
lead vox (haven't decided which preamp to get yet).

Mic COLLECTION:

What's the best way to get the mics through the wall into the control room?

Any recommendations, patch panel? Where do I get it?

Hi Sebatron
do you have a microphone suggestion for micking a didgeredoo with a Sebatron vmp-2000

I've been reading and doing research, but still can't decide on what acoustic guitar mic to get with a budget of $500 - $800.

What is the most precise mic in this range that will make you feel like you are almost in the room with the guitar?

Has anyone heard anything about Schoeps mics? If so, please elaborate on experience.

Hi, people! Help!
I need an advice for my decision: RODE NTK/ K2 or AKG C414 B-ULS/C 4000B?
My aI'm is to record acoustic instruments:
1 Nylon and steel guitars, tar, saz, sitar, dulcimer, kanun, celtic harp
2 Cello, violin, fiddles, hurdy-gurdy
3 Different fluts, bagpipe, mizmar and other reed instruments

Ive been in the Vocal Booth section asking questions about micsthis question is about the RODE K2.
I placed it here hoping to get a quicker response.
From what Ive read,the K2 is a great mic for vocalsmy question is-does the mic sound "too tubey" at times,ot does it have a natural sound do it?

Hey, I've been using the same drum overhead mics for every project I do myself or for others the past 5 years, and I think it's time to change it up. It's not that I dislike the sound I just don't want to have the same overhead sound, ya know. I have been using the AKG c430's matched pair for those five years and now I am looking for another sound.
