Has anyone got experience of this microphone?

I need to put together a drum mic set ASAP. And i am foxed by lack of availability this side of the world. Most (of the very few) distributers here do not stock.
And order on prepayment only. Which usually takes a lot longer than promised etc etc..

So for the snare I already have a SM57.

Intend on using SM58's (maybe Beta 58's if i can) on the toms.

My drummer just got a 7 piece DW set. I have never recorded drums. I have just used a Roland V-Drums set in the past. Now that I have this great set, I would like to start recording with them.

I want to make sure I get a good big sound from the drums. Therefore, what is everyone's recommendation about how many mics I should get?

HI all,
I was just wondering if anyone here who REALLY loves this mic, especially for vocals. While it's heavily criticised in some quarters, some people of course are fanatical about it.

Regards,
John Stafford

Hi,

I am building my studio bit-by-bit, and its time to consider my mic spread.

Basically the 4 main uses I will have:

- fully Micing the drumkit with up to 8 mics
- 5 mics to kit, mic to guitar amps x 2, bass DI for live recording
- Micing up guitar amps & bass amps
- recording vocals

I just bought a MOTU 828 for my home studio... Does anyone have any hints about what to use between the microphones and the MOTU, as far as i know i need something to amp the mikes since the analog inputs on the MOTU don't have any built-in preamps! I need to record at least 6 channels at one time!

Looking for a good vocal mic in the range of $500.
Any ides?

Ive done some recording using 2 guitar amps and two mics (sometimes even 2 mics per amp),panned left and right at the board,using two channels, to try to get that big (I'm standing next to the amp----big room---full sound).
Does anyone out there use this method?-if not,how about some ideas

hello, fairly new to this.

i have a BOSS BR-864 digital recorder, and a RODE NT-3 mic. i was considering purchasing a larger diapraghm RODE mic as well.. but how would i go about recording the same thing with 2 different mics when there is only the one mic jack in the back of my recorder?

Hi

I am currently wanting to mic up 2 groups of 5 singers each and have 2 Samson CO2's

Are these OK for the job, or does anyone recommend anything better for around £50 per mic ?

Thanks

Mike
