I know this is a just a silly subjective question but i'm curious about what you guys think.

A friend at Guitar Center won one of these and sold it to me for $60 still wrapped in the box. I haven't been able to use it yet. .what do you guys think of em?

hi I'm brand new here and i just have a question about phantom power with condensor mics. i have an MXL 990 mic and it says it runs on 48v phantom power but is it possible to run into my friends mixer that has 15v phantom power or would that be bad? thanks for any help.

I'm looking into buying some overheads for my Tama Artstar. It seems to me that the AKG c1000S or the RODE NT5 are my options so far? Any thoughts one those or any oher recomendations?

Right now I use an Audio-Technica AT835b, which is alright but I'm looking to upgrade. I'm looking towards the MKH-Series from Sennheiser. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I'd really like to hear the community's views on this difficult subject. What are you're favourite stragegies:

Spaced pair: big stereo image but big also on phase cancellation problems?
X/Y: No phase problems but unexciting and narrow stereo image?
ORTF: Happy medium?

How far away from the guitar? 6"? 12"? 18"? 24"? Angled up/down?

would cheap dynamic microphones work well enough to mic my drum set?

i don't have money for expensive drum mics or anything. i'd run these into a mixer and then into my 8-track.

Working a client that does "old time" acoustic/vocals (with bass and drums but I'm mainly concerned about the acoustic/vox). Any ideas on Micing to capture that ballsy Martin sound?

Hello,

I have a recording problem with microphone for months and I'm going really mad..
