Are there any somewhat-similar mics to the SM57? As in: good for combos, some snares, percs, some interesting vocals, but with a different character to the SM57. I'm asking because I'd like to expand my mic locker, and would need additional mics to handle more jobs like my current (single) SM57 handles at this moment, but with some more tonal variety.

Hope that made sense.

Im new to recording. I am looking to record bass, guitar, and drums in a few days, but i have never recorded bass. How would I get the best quality. I have my hands on a borrowed line 6 bass effects processor. Should I just direct input to the board, then bus to the effects processor, or would it make sense to use a large diaphragm condenser mic on the amp also?

Hey Everyone,
I am curious if anyone has the opportunity to use the Focusrite ISA828 and the A-D card for the unit? Opinions? Facts? Thought? Thanks for your posts!

Jake :D

Hey everyone,
I need some help, Im trying to stereo mic my acoustic but I'm having problems in sonar.

So I am very excited to be purchasing this microphone I can't wait! As an owner of the Beta 52A I have come to respect the microphone and to the point I can tell if it's being used on a record or not just by hearing little nuances!

Which do you prefer? why? The reason I am asking this is because I have both but have not learnt to use either and don't want to learn one of the programs then find out at a later date I should be using the other. Would it be worth using both programs together? i don't kno if that even possible but anyway o.O

Hi recently I aquired Native Komplete 4 and Reason 3 (maybe reason 4, find out 2morro hopefully) and have relatvely no experience in make songs using virtual instrumentsother then some relatively simple songs in garage band. Anyway I have no idea on which program is better. Or which is better for me. I want to make techno and hip hop mostly. Also which would be better for recording a band?

I'd really be interested in what they sound like.

Please list your must have plugins for PT. I'm completely new to this platform and any help will be appreciated.

Thx,

Chris

P.S. I already have UAD-1 PCIe card with all pultecs, neves and fairchilds and I also have SSL Duende unit so I would love to hear your comments on how Bomb Factory LA-2A etc. compares to the ones I have.
