Just a quick question; are condenser mics becoming obsolete now to ribbon microphones in professional record studios? Because whenever I see behind the scenes footage of any popular singer I always see some ribbon microphone, not really a condenser.

Is there even a big difference in quality between condenser and ribbon? Sould I be angry I wasted my money on a damn condenser? hahah

I've recently acquired an old Beyerdynamic BMS85. This comprises a BM85 ribbon head fitted to an S85 wireless transmitter body. The S85 I have is non-functional, and I'd like to modify the unit to be wired instead of wireless.

What it do

microphones i have four...
Shure SM58
Shure PG 48

hey,
wonder if you could help me...I am trying to record myself playing drums.

An admitted recording neophyte, I need some recommendations for a mic. I am a photographer and want to record the ambient sounds of a series of photo sessions including the pop of the strobes and the vocal interactions between me and my subjects in high enough quality that the result can be used as a partial sound track for an AV slideshow with a series of still images.

Hello,

I recorded a presentation in a large room and was in a hurry. Channel one is the camera shotgun mic (XLR in) and channel two is an XLR in from a mixer attached to talent mics. Presentation was spoken word, no music or singing. Channel two on the camera was set to Mic LEVEL so of course the LINE LEVEL I was given over drove the channel. What do you recommend in Audition to try to correct?
