Some here may remember the older thread where Recorderman described the way he liked to mic drums.

I am curious if anyone would be willing to chime in with some thoughts, ideas, suggestions about overheads to be used if following Recordermans suggestions.

First off, I have done it already with Beta57's and had some good luck, but I really need to use my 57's elsewhere...

Hey guys, I'm new here I hope this question isn't too dumb. When using a mic like the 414s in figure of eight on toms, how does the signal get split, or does it at all? Is there a "matrix" box involved? I will be using a Mackie 8bus and Pro Tools. Again please forgive my ignorance on the subject, I am a neophite when it comes to Micing drums in a real live studio, but very eager to learn.

I need some simple advice since I'm just recording in my basement.

1. Micing Noisy amps

2. Getting a full thick tone from a room (traps, materials, etc) and a solid state marshall w/ 4x12 cab

Don't take this like I'm asking you to tell me how to record. I know how to record, but I'm lacking some little tricks that some of you guys probably know.

Hello, its my first time that i am Micing a drum, my mics are:

1 sm58
2 sm57
4 Sennheiser E604
1 Audio-Technica PRO-25

for the first time the tims, kick and snare as a great sound.

Hey guys! I've got access to a Hammond B3 and Leslie speaker at my church. In the near future, I would like to do some recordings of it. Does anyone have a tried and true technique for Micing it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm Micing a bluegrass band in a live situation. what mics and where. ive got a pretty descent mic cabinet if you could just give large diaghragm / small diaghragm / dynamic i would appreciate it greatly. thanks, Jeremy :D

Well, I've had it with digital pianos and Gigapiano, I just can't get a satisfying sound and realistic dynamics from anything I've tried, so I am buying an upright to use in my recordings, but I have no idea how to place the mikes, or what type of mikes (low budget) I need to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated !
