Hey all...

I have a Korg D12, and can get some nice clean almost acoustic sounds when going direct, but would liek to be able to get the sound I hear when I play through my amp. I use a single 15" sealed cab for my guitar. I really like the sound I hear when seated not far from my amp. What type of mic would be best for placing where my ears would normally be? I currently only have an SM-57.

Has anybody heard of the mic company "Avlex/Superlux". (I think Avlex owns Superlux). I've been hearing about a kick mic called the Pro 218B that is getting some good reviews. I was thinking about adding one to my mic cabinet to supplement a D112/Beta 52 setup.

We are doing a small group -bluesy, with piano,standup and guitar(archtop). The problem has been trying to do justice to our singer. She is basically an alto, and still has a sweet top to go with a nice chest tone,but has very big dynamics. She's not a belter, but can get really loud when the spirit moves her.

I just picked up a Korg D1600 and I've been researching which condenser mics I should get. Right now I'm looking into Studio Projects C1 and RODE N1 among others.

Hi there.

Over the weekend i recieved my new R84 mic and i got to test it on a couple of sources. I figured yall might be interesteded in what i found.

First of all, I don't have great preamps (Mackie 24x8) and my ward beck pre;s haven't come in yet. But, all of the mics i used went through the mackie, so it does have a good basis.

I'm planning to buy some overhead mics, the NT4 (stereo with 2 little XY placed mics on it) or the NT5 which are 2 seperate mics. Both are in my budget (about 400/500 dollars). Can someone tell me the (dis)advantages between these mics?

Some advice on a basedrum mic is welcome to, I don't like the AKG D112 though.

I sing bass in a southern gospel quartet. I don't have a great voice, it doesn't have the edge or presence I wish it had. It seems to have to much at around 200 Hz with the mic I am using. I know you can't buy a voice but I think I could improve my sound with a different mic. I am currently using a Shure beta 87-A, and when I get up into it it seems to muddy.

Hi. I am putting together a home recording studio and I wanted to get some professional opinions on microphones. I'm going to list what I have:

2 Shure SM57's
1 Shure SM58
1 Shure Beta 58
2 Oktava MK012's (w/o the 3 capsules)
1 Oktava MK319
1 CAD Equitek E-100

Hi there,
My AKG C3000 microphone is picking up a lot of
noise in form of buzz/humming all of a sudden.
And when I touch the body of the microphone, the
noise volume increases. I even isolated my
microphone from my setup chain and connected it
directly to my mixer as a single source and it
didn't make any difference!
