Hi!

what are some good mic placements and usage for recording drums?

kick, snare, hi hats, toms, over heads

and how about some compression settings, if any?

maybe point me at some cool articles or whatever...

thanks heaps.

I have researched a number of the "china syndrome" offerings :) and would like some learned opinions on what I perhaps should purchase. This one mic will be used on a male vocals for a demo to be produced in yes. .a home studio environment. I've twice read great reviews about the Studio Projects C1.

Did anybody work with this Mic? Stereo Ac.guit? Vocals? your opinions?

I'm down to the wire deciding on one good mic for my studio. I say 'one' because it's all I can afford at the moment, in the $400 range.

I've done as much research as I can through mags and online resources and have eliminated all the models and narrowed it to 2 or 3.

Hi,
I have a project studio and am starting to invest in microphones. I have the basics, a 57, a 58. Can anyone suggest three to four mics that are "must haves". Along with my 57 and 58, I was thinking of maybe an AKGC3000, or AKG414. Any other sugesstions. Thanks.

I was talking to someone the other day that mentioned Old Neumann U87 modified by Klaus Heyne or Brauner VM-1 KH (again re-modified by Klaus) Anyone here have any of those mics? Can you tell me about them?

Thanks!

Anybody have any experience about this mic?
I've read quite a lot of good comments about it.
It is very expensive though...

Another AD question. . sorry. I've checked out the blurb on the PreSonus web site and it isn't clear whether the Digimax rear panel inputs are just mic preamps or whether I can drive them from line level and/or instrument sources? I know there are a couple of instrument inputs on the front but I'd like to run more into the box at once.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Mike
