Hi all,

I thinking of parting with my venerable Allen & Heath GS3 desk and replacing with a preamp with 4 inputs. I can route via the TotalMix software that comes with my RME Mutiface card.

Hey:)
Can anybody help me with choosing a good stereo pair condenser mic.
I'm looking for something not too expensive,was thinking around 700 eur max for the pair:)
My first choice for now is AKG C 451 B.
What do you think about these and if you have any sugestions pleas:)
Thanx

hey folks, I am starting a mobile recording company and need to get a bunch of good (not great) mics quickly. So, the first purchases are for close mic'ed choral groups. Close meaning about 6-8 feet. I'll need three of the same type mics for these first applications. Eventually, I will need a variety of mics for symphonic all the way to contemporary project sessions.

This is a list based on http://recording.org/pro-recording-forum/28744-whats-in-your-mic-cabinet.html topic (as of May 10th, 2007) of all the replies I could make out.

Also,

Everyone says great converters is where its at. Which ones are good without spending a ton of cash?

I am thinking about buying a digi 002. But I heard the coverters are crap?

If I bought logic pro what interface would be best?

Just want to hear some opinions.

For those who hate to read, the main points:
Just starting
$4-5k budget
Transforming my basement
Style: Acoustic guitar, vocals, some electric
Information on setting up acoustics for a room
Looking for: a nice 'real' sound
Estimated costs / suggestions: mixers, compressors, mics, the works

hey folks,
looking to record some acoustic guitar on a Korg D8 eight track at home, I understand I need a condenser mic rather than a dynamic mic as used for vocals. Can anyone recommend a budget type mic in the region of $250 which is ok ?

cheers

Just to have some fun, vent a little, and perhaps add some spice to the forum, I thought we could all share some horror stories while they're still fresh.

As the season winds down, you may have a couple of good ones to share as well.

Most of my gigs go quite well, with a lot of repeat clients who know their stuff, but horror stories can still happen. :twisted:

I have a session Tuesday for my final project. I am tracking on an SSL 4056 G+ console. I am tracking and mixing a metal band, what is the best Mic and Mic technique for recording vocals that will sing and scream? My Mic locker goes like this. AKG
(5) C-414 B-ULS
(2) C-414 TL-II
(3) C-1000S
(2) C-451B
(8) C-451E
(4) D-112

Hey guys, I'm not at the point where I can be picky about which mics I'm using just yet, but I'm trying to get the bases covered. I want some decent stuff. I have a d112, and a sm57, I'm looking to buy the sytek 4 channel mic preamp and two decent overhead mics. Kind of get some decent rock drum sounds going.
