What do you prefer for MS recording of acoustic guitar:

two LDC - or - LDC with SDC?

... and why?

Hi,

whats a good pick for a mic for hip hop and rnb? u87 or tlm103. should i get the Neve 1073 or 1176 universal audio?

I'm putting together a simple, entry-level system - not intended to make production quality CD's but to learn the basics, etc. I 'll be using the Alesis IO26 as the audio interface and pre-amp. My interests lie with classical music (piano, harpsichord, small groups). I'm looking for a suitable pair of mics (in the $250 per mic range). Currently, my plan is the RODE NT1-A.

Hi all,

I'm not a complete newbie on recording, but I don't have any knowledge on mic choice/placement when it comes to the difference (is there?) between a nylon and a steel strung guitar.

Normally there's only 1 acoustic guitar I have to deal with at a time. Mostly I prefer a Beyer M260. Or MD421-II in live situations.

Hi,

I was asked by a friend to record his church choir. The choir size is 20 people and will be recorded at the church. I was leaning to the SM81's in an XY or ORTF configuration, along with one of my large condensor mics with the ISA428.

What would be the best mic choice and configuration out of the mics I have?

Which would be your preference for VOX work primarily and some acoustic guitar. Soundelux is FET and the rest are tube. Going into an Avalon 737sp, high tenor voice thats thin and needs some body/air/presence :-?

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.

Hey every one I would apreciate some help with some mic choices for my little home studio...

I would like to add a pair of ld condencer mics to my collection...
as of right now I have the following mics

Sennheiser 609
Sennheiser 835
Shure 57
Audix d6

Looking at LD condensers for mostly instrumental pursposes although there could be some vocal applications.

How does the group feel about these options in my short list?
