I've been muddling along for a while now with a basic 3 or 4 or 5 mic setup for drum kit. OHL-R + Kick + snare + HH. While I like this KISS strategy and have been pretty pleased with the results (or I would be if I liked my HH sound) I've blocked out some time this weekend to do some experiments with mics on the toms.

I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on on the best way to mic a drum set with two SM57's.

Hello,

Although I normally only post in the non-pro forums regarding gear, I figured I'd stroll on over here for this particular question to get a pro answer.

Hi there.

Please advise how to go about setting up the MICing for my Digi 002. I record vocals (speaches/ discourses) in a spiritual orginisation. I am trying to get the best recording setup for ONE specific speaker.

how do you mic an ovation? its a deluxe celebrity.

what would happen in this case, if I where to mike a drum set and set the overheads up as 2 omnidirectional mics in an XY coincident position?

I've been wanting to experiment more with the Mid-Side technique, but I don't own a bi-directional / figure-8 microphone. Would I get comparable results standing in two identical cardioid LDCs for the side mic? Some provocations:

Hi, reasonably simple question which requires a simple answer...i hope.

I am running an SM58 into a MOTU Ultralite which is connected by firewire to my G4. I am recording spoken vocals into bias peak and only require a dry signal as all the effects will be applied after recording.

here is my situation:

my drummer has a sh*tload of drum mics and a sh*tload of drums, a huge set, and likes to use them all when redcording. He also has a Peavey PV20 mixer with 16 mic inputs. This is what we use for live sound but we are about to start recording using it.

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.
