Hey guys, I asked a similar question a while back, but was looking for some advice on mics. I currently have a selection of dynamics and a pair of AKG 451b's. I was looking to get a new pair of mics to play a bit more with stereo. I especially want to experiment with M/S recording techniques.

I've been reading a lot lately :roll: , about Micing guitar cabinets.
And when the pros talk of their favorite Micing techniqes, it involves finding the best speaker and put their favorite mics on it and deal with the phase issues. Is'nt it more logical to put the mics on separate speaker cones, to honor the 3-1 rule and be free from phase problems?

OK

I'll be rewarding myself for some hard work in the end of this year with a Christmas present: a new pair of mics (some disposable income from the last gigs) and I'm eyeing a pair of Audio-Technica that would fit the bill: 4040 or 4033 what do you think would be a better pair as a multi purpose mic?

Over 100 mics and 50 preamps...
Since female vox to guitar amp...

hugs,

I need suggestions.
My budget is about 5000 and I need the best match possible to obtain a very open full and detailed sound out of the microphone-preamp combination.
Possibly someone who has been experimenting with lots of them. I really believe that is the combination of the two that makes the difference.

pulled this question off another board i frequent
anyone have an answer?

I heard that Earthworks use cheap Panasonic electret capsules in their mics and then add very good preamps. Is that true?

Hello everyone. This is my first post to this forum, and I'm hoping that many opinions will flow from this post.

Next week I am going to be recording a two piano duet and I am wondering what the best way to do it is. I am sort of limited to mics and tracks so i need to get the best sound I can with 4 mics. What I had in mind was one omni mic on each of the pianos with a baffle separating them and possibly two room mics.

I'm using an AKG Solidtube microphone which comes with it's own phantom power supply.

My pre also has phantom power available which I can turn on or off. Should I continue to use the AKG's own supply unit (figuring that it's likely better calibrated to the mic) or am I just introducing another layer of unecessary hardware into the chain?
