Hi All. I'm new to the forum. I'd like to get your opinions on Micing techniques for drum overheads. Right now I'm in a good sounding, basstrapped room with C1000's as spaced overheads. I get a lot of mid range trash and not a lot of silky high-end . The ceiling is only 8 ft (problem #1) but it is quite dead with 50% covered in OC703.
Should I be trying some other mics ?

what would be good overhead mics for me? I am willing to put some cash in getting a decent pair that would stay with me till the day I die...

I've heard so many great things about the Great River 2NV and for a while was planning on purchasing one. I'm still considering, but could anyone tell me if they've used it with sucess on acoustic guitars and how it sounds? What mic(s) did you use? SD, LD? Were they on the bright side to compliment the 2NV's darker sound?

Hey guys, I asked a similar question a while back, but was looking for some advice on mics. I currently have a selection of dynamics and a pair of AKG 451b's. I was looking to get a new pair of mics to play a bit more with stereo. I especially want to experiment with M/S recording techniques.

My mic closet as it stands contains : AKG Solidtube, Shure KSM32, AKG C3000b, AKG C1000s (2), Sennheiser 421 (3), Shure SM57 (2), AKG D112, Electro-Voice RE20.

I'm looking for a pair of small condenser mics, which will be an upgrade from some AKG C1000s's. I would spend as much as 800 for the pair. Any suggestions? Thanks,

Anyone can give me an advice? i have to buy a matched pair of condenser mics...what do you prefer: RODE NT5, AT 30 series, Oktava? yeah i know the KM184 are way better, but, this is my budget... ;)

I just bit the bullet and bought this plugin for my UAD card, and so far, I think I am in love! I am still trying to get my brain around all the ins and outs of it, but it looks like it is a really fine piece of work. I guess it is supposed to be an Oxford clone, but for the price (US$149), I don't see how that is possible.

Some here may remember the older thread where Recorderman described the way he liked to mic drums.

I am curious if anyone would be willing to chime in with some thoughts, ideas, suggestions about overheads to be used if following Recordermans suggestions.

First off, I have done it already with Beta57's and had some good luck, but I really need to use my 57's elsewhere...

I am considering biting the bullet and getting a matched pair of KM 184's for when I record acoustic guitar. The price tag is a little high so I'm wondering if anyone has had good results with a cheaper pair of mics.
