I am the drummer and the guy that mics the drums when we track. It trully is a pleasure, like cooking a great meal and then eating it, but I have a philosophical difference with my hi-hat Micing technique.

I know this has probably been beaten to death before, but I'd like some comments on my version...

Hi :-)

I'm tired of using my standard-Micing for guitar-recordings. How do you mic an amp...espacially Combos like an VOX AC30 or Fender Twin...etc.
What mic's do you use? What techniques you prefer ? Tell me your tricks in Micing an amp !

Best regards :-)

Can anyone give me some hints on the best Micing techniques for a grand piano? I have two SM57s and two SM58s at my disposal for this purpose. The show in question is in a 365 seat auditorium and will feature a vocalist with piano accompaniment. Thanks!

Has anyone done an internal mic mount for congas? If you've done it or heard it done I'd like your opinions, and if you haven't done it I'd still like your thoughts on what the issues might be--pros and cons, etc.

I'm looking at it ONLY from a 'cool install' point of view--on all other aspects I'm clueless. I've not seen ANY references to the practice.

The other thread was getting so bloated, I thought I'd start a new one.

I've been reading with interest all the tributes to Recorderman's 2 drumstick overhead configuration, but have been kind of set in my ways about drum recording for a while. Finally, on a session today I thought I'd take the plunge and revamp everything I ordinarily do.

ok. doing a singer-songwriter thing. she plays quiet.

i like to track hot...

what to do?

I am planning to upgrade my signal chain for recording electric guitar. Couple of questions...and yes, I too am awaiting the RMMP...

What is the best mike for Micing a cabinet? I have using SM57's for awhile. They sound ok, but I guess I want something different. My preamp does need to be upgraded and I am currently using the RNC.

Hi,
