Hello,

I'm wondering which is generally the better method of the two. But what do most people use when recording in bands?

Looking for entry level fig 8 mic. seen a few, didn't want to to spend a crap ton since recording budget is on the cheap these days.

Looking for most likely ldc fig 8, would do with sdc too, if there are options for those. not looking for ribbon fig 8 at this time.

budget 100-300 buckaroos.

Hi there

Thanks for all your advice on the other thread. I now have this purchase (2 Distressors) sorted out for the beginning of next month. So that I have adequate time to research and consideration to what I get next, I thought I'd post this kinda early.

Need Help with Microphones, Amps, and Preamp

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and a novice to acoustics in general, so I apologize if my question is very basic. I have spent several hours searching google and various forums but haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer.

I'm having a serious audio recording problem using two Sennheiser MKE 2 lavalier mics in close proximity. Here's the situation. My wife and I are recording a live video broadcast. We sit directly next to each other facing a video camera. There's only about 6 inches between our chairs. I speak very loudly. She speaks very quietly. Both mics are going into a Mackie Onyx mixer.

Hi! this is my first post, so here we go...

Hi microphone lovers! I wrote some articles and created sound clips for a bunch of microphones on Gear-Wiki. I thought I'd share the links as I hope this can be useful.

Hi. I am sort of a newbie to recording, though I have been playing music and writing for many years. I'm writing because I need advice on setting up my project studio. I have been currently working with the following (consumer, and from what I gather not ideal) gear:

1) A/D and Preamps: M-Audio Profire
2) Mics: Shure Betas (assorted 87A, 57A, etc.)

Hi, i'm looking for a vocal mic and the sound i'm really aiming for is something like James Taylor's old classics.

Can anyone answer the above question, mainly when i record guitars at the moment i mic my cab with an SM57, record the dry signal through my BSS Audio active D.I. Box and also record the Balanced signal from the direct out on the back of my Marshall TSL100 then blend the Direct out signal with the SM57 signal.
