Royer SF-12 on overheads

So my Royer SF-12 came today. I'm in love. Tried it on drum overhead. Just the damned stereo mic 2 feet over the center of the kit in Blumlein. I'm blown away. A beautiful image of the whole kit. Best picture of the cymbals I've heard. Lovely natural sound of the toms. For some genres I guess you'd mic them individually, but not for the country/folk/blues/Americana stuff I'm doing now.

iso cab

i recently built an Iso Cab (see post SOLDERING HELP please). i pluged my mesa boogie single rectifier rectoverb into it. but when i start playing with the red channel (distortion) its REALLY bassy. and i mean outside of the iso cab, not the ''recording part''. is there any tricks to attenuate the bass that comes from the iso cab. (exemple: blanket, foam, etc...)

thanks

Recording essentials for an amateur?

I want to record a bit, but I have zero experience. I am not very good with computers and I don't want to spent too much money (40/50 bucks) I don't plan to do much with the recording stuff. A few things I want to do: record both guitar and voice with a reasonable high bitrate, no background noise and the music will be used as background music, so ... it should sound like that xD.

Help with monitors for a home studio

Hello.

So I'm a home-recording guy, and I've been mixing on my home theater/hi-fi system so far. However, in the last few weeks I've been feeling that the frequency response of the speakers isn't flat. In fact, I checked the FFT plot and heard my work on a range and I realized I was mostly right, and because of the nonflat frequency response I wasn't mixing my songs well.
