I have about $2000.00 U.S. to spend on mics just for Drums and would like to know what I should be looking at. It's very hard to make purchasing descisions where I live because none of the shops carry enough stuff to choose between ( actually listen to ). In Australia, everybody keeps trying to ram RODE mics down your throat but I want better value and sound.

Hi, I have to record a guitar (acoustic in some songs and spanish in others) and i would like to try stereo Micing techniques, which one would you recommend me? (Distance, angle, etc)

I have a couple of Good condenser mic and a couple of 57's, not a good room at all, new strings for both guitar, and a good player.

Thx in advance for your answers

Does anyone else here get Audio Media? I just picked mine up at the post office and I was surprised when a CD rom slipped out of the plastic bag it was mailed in this month. I took a look at it and on it was printed Rycote microphone data 2003 Light Edition. hmmmm?

Hello fellas..
I'd like to buy a good vocal microphone for my studio.I can spend between 200-400$.
Someone please can help me out?

Has anyone seen or heard about the new RODE mics that are coming out soon, the K2 and the NT2000? I have not heard anything about release dates as of yet, but they sure sound like they will be sweet! Nothing on their web site as of yet, just a small blurb in EQ magazine...

I am using an SP C1, into a VTB-1, into my Q10
When recording my vocals, i seem to peak very easily
I have tried to correct this by turning the gain down on both the pre and the q10
when i do this, my level becomes too low to hear through the headphones. turning my headphones up just brings my track up extremely loud

Has anyone used or heard the new phantom powered, dynamic mic from Blue, called The Ball? What would it be best suited for?

Any suggestions on some good overhead mics under $1000? RODE ? Oktava ? Shure? Thanks, guys.

Hi. I'm having a guest guru-type engineer come over to my studio to help me sort out some tough mixes. I use an unusual track ball mouse - Mouse Traks Professional - which is a hell of a mouse once you get used to it, but takes a while to get used to.

I'm sure my friend has a mouse he prefers and would be a lot quicker using.

Can we use both mice at once?

Well, I've had it with digital pianos and Gigapiano, I just can't get a satisfying sound and realistic dynamics from anything I've tried, so I am buying an upright to use in my recordings, but I have no idea how to place the mikes, or what type of mikes (low budget) I need to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated !
