Here's a link to a YT video about Micing up a band using only Shure microphones. It was put together by the UK outlet PMT. Despite the myopic view and the whole presentation being OTT, there are some good hints and techniques shown.

I would like help deciding what the best mic choices are for my particular needs/budget.
I have a very modest home studio.
I have a purpose built PC for my recording.
MOTU 8pre is my external interface.
Cubase SE3 is my recording software.

Hey anyone using these?

It seems like a good idea especially in live recording, just so many places to put mic stands but I was wondering how well constructed they are and what kind of reach and distance they have. I mean can you get the mic wherever you need?

Or what stands are you using live?

So I was watching this video about the band Darkest Hour. They've been recording in Canada with Devin Townsend.

There's a bit in the vid midway through when they're tracking guitars where they show off this box, it's a quiet box, for recording guitars.

Any idea of the microphone inside? It looks kind of like a 57 with a windscreen on it on a weird looking mic stand.

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?

Hi I'm new in this forum and I wanted to know if you can seek advice a good mic technique for electric guitars so much clean as distorted.
I should record a guitarist (I am used Steve Vai) and I would like you to advise me that mics to use for the recording (1 or 2 mics) and that mics position should use.
Also some mix tricks for the guitars
