New here and also new at this.

I'm trying to find a mixer for drums and hopefully band as well.
Drums have 12 XLR condenser mics, all needing phantom power.
I'm thinking of 16-24 channels, but like I said, I'm brand new to mixing and I would appreciate any and all help.
It would be nice to be able to record as well, but a mix is the main thing here.

Hi Guys,

Just wonder if anyone can recommend a mic that works well with a Universal Audio 6176? For example Neumann U87, Sony C800G etc. Is that a great combination? Thinking of buying a great microphone. Until now I have used some cheaper ones, not getting the sound that I want. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks
M

hi guys,

I was recording an acoustic guitar with my ungainly XY rig in front of it and there were pretty major changes in volume as he moved even a bit. I threatened to nail him to the floor but that didn't help.:x:x:x

Reguardless of the price tag. What is your favorite condensor mic? Not because it can do a lot of various types of instruments. But mainly because of it's great sound.
1st question...
What is your favorite condensor mic?
2nd question...
What condensor mic do you wish you had?

how come whenever i try to use any condenser on a guitar cab it just doesnt sound as nice as a 57? ive tried a few different mics(AT 4033's, SE 3300's, SE 5600's, RODE NT 1's and NT3's) and they just sound middley with not much brightness and balls...

I just purchased this microphone and it says that it requires phantom power. First I want to ask would it work if I just plugged it into my computer. And I brought a mixer that has the two red and white inputs on it and I want to hook it up to my computer, does anyone know how to do this?

I have a Neumann tlm 103, and was wondering if anyone knew about cleaning the diaphram. I was told by a local dealer here in san diego that Neumann will go through the mic and bring it back up to specs n all for $100.00. I'm not worried yet, but a decent ammount of dust is begenning to collect on the electrostatic diaphram.

When you store your mics, do you keep them in their huge aluminum flight cases, or put them in smaller, zippered pouches? Right now I have all my mics in their big ass cases, but I'm finding that only one or two will fit in each drawer of storage boxes(courtesy of Target). Is there a better space-saving solution when it comes to storing condenser mics?

ive just got into recording and have started with the lowest line superlux condenser. it seems to do an amazing job for the price i paid ($40). i will soon be purchasing another condenser but dont wanna go above $250.

hello all,
