okay. ever wonder which way was correct for turning this abbreviated word into a participle or past tense verb? well it has driven (it done drove) me crazy for too long so here's the entry on dictionary.com in all its glory:

mike Audio pronunciation of "mic" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mk) Informal

A microphone.

tr.v. miked, mik·ing, mikes

hi guys, simple enough question. what's your favourite mics and techniques for tracking a grand?

thanks!

How do you you mic an upright piano?
 

I'll be engineering a live broadcast in mid-April and I've been debating about what mic setup to use this time. Not sure on the line-up yet, but I'm guessing a couple of guitars, maybe a banjo, including vocals.

I'd like to know the best way to go about Micing a piano. I'd be doing it live, but this still seemed like the best section to post. It's one of those upright grands schools aways have. What are some good mics/placements for something like this? Thanks.

just wondering if anyone could give any suggestions on mics to use. I know i can do it direct but I have to record a live band.

Can anyone out there give me a detailed but very basic (i know thats pretty stupid sounding) description of the M-S Micing arrangement? My professor today was talking about it, but i am still a little vague on what it's exact purpose is and everything. Anyone got a good description?

Has anyone tried doing an X-Y configuration in front and an over the shoulder mic on acoustic guitar?

I know its common to use the X-Y and I know some people use the over the should and one mic in front but has anyone used this combination with good results? Im just curios.

I have a session thursday and I'm thinking about trying this.

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 ?

hi everyone. i'm new to this forum.

i write and record music in my parents house in a small room. not exactly sure how big it is, or the dimensions, but it's small. let me give you a run down of my cheap recording set up:
