i was wanting to know if i have to record seperately with my condensers that require phantom power than with my dynamic mics that dont require it. my Mackie cfx16 board has one master phantom power switch and it seems like a bad idea to feed phantom power to my dynamics that dont require it. is this true or would i be fine having it on while mics that dont need it are plugged in?

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has compared the 3? I'm looking to spend about €300-€450 on a well priced mic and these 3 are the ones that spring to mind. Any ideas?

Ta muchly!

Hi people,

I'm doing some recordings for my band, everything seems to be kind of OK to me... except for the vocals they are really flat, dull, boring... I know its not possible to get studio quality with crappy gear... but i was wondering if anyone tried it and has a "nice" solution for me.

Equipment:

Shure SM58 (BETA?)
2 other unknown mics

I've been looking at Kel HM-1's for guitar cab Micing but I also need a pair of Mic's for drum OH's. I've been looking at RODE NT5's and the Oktava MK012's for that application. Would the HM1's be comparable to those mics as drum OH's or would seperate mic's for each application be a better route?

I'm thinking about nailing some pallets together or something to make a platform so I can record my drums here from now on:

Hi. I posted a topic about a recording interface & laptop and it got removed and relocated. Sorry if it seemed in the wrong place, I felt that since the setup required an interface it might warrant being at recording gear...so to rectify, I've divided the post up.

feel free post pictures or links to your studio if you have them. it would be fun to see, and also to get new, fresh ideas.

As a free upgrade in the MOTU site for owners of Digital Performer 4.5- go and get it! :D

I know this is stretching it, but if so tell me and I'll delete it. (can I?).
I got a free virtuall unused LCD screen today for my mobile rackmount computer project. But (get what you pay for) it is too dI'm to really be of use. It is well lit, but I can barely make out the image on it. Just a lot of dI'm grey light.

I've been reading these forums for quite some time, but this is my first post. I hate for my first post to be one asking for help, but I'm stuck. I wasn't quite sure what forum to put this in, so please feel free to move it into one that might be more appropriate.
