hey everyone. just droppin in to say hi...and that i'm a new member and everything. so, make me feel welcome! i'll try not to ask too many stupid questions! hah.
although i'm new, i have been frequenting recording.org for quite some time now- almost 2 years. and i must say that it's really helped me out.

Hello,I just bought a Zoom H2 to record some song idea's and acoustic demos.I was just wondering if anyone else on this board could maybe let me know how i could use the Zoom most effectively for recording these demos.I've never done recording before so i'm kind of in the dark on this one.How far should i be away from the mic? What settings should i use? Front mics or all 4?

Folks,

Please can someone help me in the selection of an affordable (200- 300 $)
mic for recording acoustic guitar at home.

I am looking at

AT4041 (SDC)
RODE NT5 (SDC)
Shure SM81 (SDC)

I am also looking at some stereo SDC mics or any other affordable stereo mics. Would stereo makes help in the first place?

Hi, I am getting a poor sound when recording the electric guitar, so I am hoping to see if anyone knows some possible reasons this may be happening.

The is a 4 year old fender acoustic..

i have a seymour duncan woody, as well as a handful of condensers, sm57's+8's, and i can't get a sound i really am happy with with these obviously, the only one i am breifly happy with at the moment in the Behringer b1. i am a very low budget engineer as i am a full time student. what mic would you recommend for under £150 ?

Metallica was king of big guitar sounds. They were the first to make it sound REALLY BIG! They used like 8 marshall 4x12, with various mics and a huge tent cover to enclose the sound. The guitar sound you hear on the black album is clean, crisp and dint require a whole lot of dubbing.

I have an acoustically treated room. I am using a PreSonus Firepod. I have an SM57 and are using a variety of guitars and amps. I have also used more mics and different mic placements. I just can't seem to get the guitar to sound big on my recordings. This is much more evident the more distortion I use.

Hi all,

Hi sorry I couldnt think of a better title.

Just a quick question. I'm looking to mic some aggressive metal guitar tracks from a single speaker cab. What kind of mice should I get?
