I've taken just the DI channel forever and I've just started Micing the bass cab and blending the DI. I was just curious as to any particular technique for Micing the bass cab. How close should I be micing? What mic? Large Condensor or dynamic? The mics that I have to choose from is:

Anybody have any opinionson which mic. pre's are the top pics for hard rock drums(kick & snare)?

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I am looking into picking up either a Royer R-121 or an AEA R84 ribbon mic to use mainly on electric guitars - but versatility is always good. Has anyone tried the two side by side? Does anyone have any insights on the similarities/differences?

Thanks!

Hi.

I have been looking around for a mic to plug into my laptop for some basic recording. I am looking at an SP B1 at the moment. However, my problem is, I assume that the mic has one of those big plugs where my laptop only has a small input. Is there some way I could plug this into my laptop?

Thanks.

I'm looking to spend around 300+ pounds (600 dollars) on a condensor mic. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which model/make I should get?

It will be used for recording female vocals AND clean (picked) / distorted (strummed) guitar parts through a Peavey amp.

The soundcard that I'll be getting at the same time is the E-MU 1820.

i do the live sound for a progressive rock band that incoperates a violin, the problem we have been having is with the feedback on using a mic(not to mention lack of mobility) ive been using an acoustic guitar transducer mad by dean markly, first because it was the only thing we could afford but it sound amazing with verry low feedback, the problem with them is they die in about three months th

Hey guys just wondering what tom mics are getting good results. I've been using cheap little CAD mics for racks and a CAD LD kick drum mic for the floor. I found that my CADs sounded a little nicer than my SM57's. I'm still not super happy though. Was thing of using my TLM 103 on the floor and getting some MD 421's for racks. Any other suggestions?

Anybody have the good solution for this Combo?

I'm trying to to a bit of tracking in my apartment. For those of you who are familiar with the living environment, you know that cranking an amp is out of the question. I've been using a SM57 on my Peavey Classic 50 212 with adequate results. The problem is that I have to have the input level on my Tascam US-122 really high.
