Hi all! I was wondering if anyone's used the AT2020 to mic a snare...specifically, side-Micing the shell. The mic has pretty high SPL rating, but is there a chance of damaging it this way? Its only $90 or so, but its still a good mic, so I'd hate to ruin one! Thanks for any advice! Andy

I'm looking for a stereo (2 channel) preamp. I want to mainly use it for vocals, but also for drum overheads. I'm looking to spend 1,000 to 2,000, and do not care if its used, off ebay, etc. I just want to most I can get for the price I can afford. I'd love a Manley because I have used them in school, but.. thats a couple thousand out of my price range. Any suggestions.

Hey guys been a while but i'm trying to get back on track with my music..

So here's a question.

I need something to help with some minor pitching that may occur and to get a cleaner tone in the singing.

Some pitch correction never hurts a track i guess :)

Hi there everyone! I guess I'm the new guy around here. :D After lurking around here the last week or so I've gotta say I'm really digging this place. On to the tales of horror and woe!

In setting Up a small budget recording space, I find my speakers on my computer are quite weak, I have this stereo...

Has anyone had a chance to try the new Grace Design M201?
Opinions on performance / value?

whats a good trick to getting a more "stereo" snare other than room mics?

Capitol Records Nashville is giving aspiring country musicians the chance to win the trip of a lifetime to record three demos with Capitol Records execs and $50,000 to start their music career. All you need is a microphone, a bit of talent and the desire to make it big in the music world.

A lot of people have been asking for me (off-list) to post some clips of either the Gefell M296 mics or the recent organ recording which I had mentioned a couple months ago (or in some cases both).

So...here it is.

Hi All,
