ok i m Micing a 4x12 cab with a sm57 Micing the center of the cone, and read that a u87 at the edge of the cone is quiet good for taking low end as a second mic, but there is my question how far from the cab do i put the u87, in which direction, what type of capture do i choose ?

I recently read about this technique and gave it a try on the last album i did. It turned out FANTASTIC. Basicly it is a way to pepper in a lo-fi vibe to a otherwise crisp hi-fi drumkit... its a common trend with the rock revial bands like: the strokes, killers, franz f., etc.

Greetings,

i love this site... ive been reading it for a while and finally have a question i couldnt find an answer through by surfing through it. here it goes...

G'day eh.

I've been listening to Emmy Lou Harris, Wrecking Ball lately, and there is something Daniel Lanois does to that vocal that is just...different. There's a gentle 'edge' to it that is truly compelling, and that I miss as soon as I plugin the next disc, whomever it might be.

Hi all,

anyone got any advice on what mic's to go for when wanting to achieve a good ms stereo sound. Im aware that you need a figure 8 and cardiod, maybe someone has used 2 particular mic's that just work damn well together!

cheers,

I was wondering if anyone here, was familiar with the Microphone setup on the Kind Of Blue recording, by Miles Davis.

I use for the O.Hs (the last year) a Neumann Stereo Mic (SM 69 fet) and ofcourse X/Y.
What you think about that?
By the way I didn' t notice a diskution for X/Y mic technique. Nobody loves it?
In some Studios I saw 3 Mics for the O.Hs L/R and one in the middle.

Hey guys and gals. I just wanted some opinions on close mic techniques for drums. Most people I talk to that run little project studios generally mic their drums with a snare mic, kick mic, couple over heads, maybe some tom mics, maybe a room mic, etc.

hey does anyone know a site or a good book that has complete discriptions and pictures of overhead and stereo mic techniques?
thanks -jal

Could anyone tell me if Micing a cabnet with lets say 2 mics (in this case 1 dynamic & 1 condenser), would it yield any substantial sonic results? Also with such a setup, would it be wise to set the EQ for each mic to a different setting or not a all? And finally, after all of this, would going to dedicated pre's be better than going to the cabinet or doing both be better?
