Recording flutes played live

Cubase

I did this video - about how you could clip a mic to a flute. Handy if you need to do a live recording where for either the PA or just for separation, you need to get a mic close in and keep it the same distance from the instrument. Difficult to do with a mic one a boom, as the players never stand still. I used the Shure SM7B as sa comparison and then mounted a cheap lav mic in a small clamp.

Good Quality "universal' mic clip

Submitted by kmetal on Sun, 11/24/2013 - 23:27

i ran into a situation yesterday where i almost had to compromise audio quality for mic placement, on a snare drum, thankfully it was an almost. but that made me realize the studio doesn't have an adjustable mic clip, that takes the typical mic clip thread. it'd be great to have one in case...

anyone got some suggestions?

Wired clip-on mics mystery

Submitted by sreenadh on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 06:28

My apologies if this is a stupid question, or already answered many times -I am not sure what exactly to search for. I have a handheld recorder that came with two wired clip-on microphones, intended for interviews. They work perfectly with the recorder. However, when I plug these microphones into a mixer/amplifer (Behringer PMP5000) they don't work at all.

Which of these vocal mic clips?

Submitted by dickiefunk on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 03:10

Hi,

I'm looking to add either a Neumann TLM102, Audio-Technica 4047 or CAD E100S to my mic collection and am torn on which to buy.

I have done some VERY rough clips of these mics along with a couple of other mics I have here (SE Electronics SE2200 Tube and AT4040) and am wondering which would work best on her voice?

Mic Clip Thread Standards

Submitted by Codemonkey on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 20:16

No idea where to put this thread... :/

I'd like to see some discussion/point of reference about those screw threads on the end of mic stands which you attach mic clips to.

Mainly,

What are they known as?

What sizes do they come in?

Are there standards?

What about the history?

Stands, clips, clamps for Micing drums.

I'm getting tired of several of my cheap/makeshift stands - particularly those I'm using for Micing drums. I have good stands for overheads and vocal mics, but most of the stands for getting into hard to reach places and old cheap stands that I've hacksawed and jerry-rigged. Time to buy something good and sturdy.

clip on mics... what do YOU think of them

Submitted by rockstardave on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 12:35

i have an Audix f90 that i'm not terribly happy with. except that i love how tiny it is. i want a different sound though.

is it a thing with small microphones like this? or are there other clip on condensers that do sound better? the f90 lacks high-enddefinition, it's too "smooth".

Drum mic clips

Submitted by anonymous on Sat, 11/24/2007 - 20:19

Is it a good idea to use mic clips on drums for the recording?

I think i will go with Audix D-vice, but take a look at these ones... they are kind of cheap.

Mic clip to fit DPA stereo boom and CMC5

Submitted by Duckman on Tue, 10/23/2007 - 20:45

I've just purchased a DPA UA0837 stereo boom - the one without the mic clips. Now, I didn't know this beforehand, but the sliders on the boom are designed to hold mic clips with a narrow thread (a la the DPA clips)... . The problem is that the sliders have a kind of groove that ensures that only clips with a very narrow base will fit there.

Mic clip other than SA 18 for AKG C414?

Submitted by BobRogers on Thu, 03/29/2007 - 17:17

I have a C414 B-ULS that I've had for a while and I both another (came today) with the hope that they'd be close enough to use as a pair.e came The first one came with a SA 18/3B mic clip. The second came with an H-100 shock mount. So I thought I'd see what another clip cost - WOW - $200 and your first born male child. (Tough luck George Rogers.)
