Just curious. I couldn't find anything in the archives.

I've found Groove Tubes makes a couple (GT33/GT44), but I can't really find any info on them on the 'net or anyone who's used them. They're reasonably priced at least.

Hey guys! I've been using an Shure sm57 for recording a guitar 2x12 cab. I was wondering what I would expect if I used a Studio projects C4 condenser on it. I'm buying a SP C3 for vocals and am wondering if I should buy a pair of C4's.

PS- It would be a overdriven or heavy distortion guitar tone(line6 Duoverb amp)

Hello everyone!
New to the site and lovin' it. :D
I'm looking at buying one of the RODE NT-4 mics, the one with the Stereo placed pair of capsules. Anyone given it a lash yet? if so how'd it go?
Or would i be better off going for a seperate pair of the NT-5's?

I'm going to be tracking some Heavy Guitars for a project I'm working on, and I want to use a condenser on the guitar cab. But I'm a little worried that this will damage my condenser Mic. I plan on using a Studio Projects C3 along with an SM57.

I was wondering if there is anyway to measure SPL so I know if it's safe to use my C3 at close range on the Guitar Cab.

I am looking to buy one (maybe a matched pair?) primarily for recording acoustic instruments and wondered if you could help me understand the various polar plots that I have seen.

For example AVENSON AUDIO STO-2 shows this plot (from Mercenary):

Hello,

A bit of a last-minute question: we'll be recording the day after tomorrow and we were wondering about max kickdrum SPL-levels.

In other words, can a condenser mic specified at 142dB SPL max
(0.5% THD, 1kHz, 10dB pad engaged) be safely used in, or in front of a kick ?

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a pair of small diaphragm condensers that would work well with an acoustic guitar and for drums overheads.

Some people have suggested the SM81's for me. Any alternatives I should consider? They are within my budget, no problem, but I wonder if they are the best option (they seem to be a studio staple around here).

Thanks.

I recorded drums to computer using a condenser mic and it seems to pick up way too much hi-hats. I had the mic high on a stand in front of the set. Should I have this problem?

Hi,
I was an amateur who want to make a solo classical guitar recording. I'm using Shure SM57 and PreSonus TubePre, but many advices I've heard that it was not a good mic to do this job.

just seeing what you folks usually use and why. I've been using small diaphragms for years but would like to try something new. also, my snare doesn't pick up well in the overheads even when they are very(too) close.
