I was just wondering what a good mic to mic a bass cab was. I have a Shure beta 52. will that do the job. if not i could use some suggestions. thanks, jeremy

Problem...I have three drum mics (2 OH + kick) and only two XLR inputs on my stand-alone DAW. The two XLR inputs are also the only inputs with phantom power. Does anyone have a solution? Is there more than one solution?

Any ideas on how to get a great clarinet sound? I have a Shure KSM27 or a SM57 available I just don't know where to start.

hey everybody i'm trying to figure out the best solution for Micing a standard set for an upcoming session...

Please give some suggestions to this scenario:

(This is an on-going weekly effort):
I am recording a live jazz orchestra for delayed radio broadcast (and, later, cable TV & web). For now, this is being recorded straight to DAT - mixed on the fly. No o-dubbing, post mix work, etc.

I have a Korg D12, and can get some nice clean almost acoustic sounds when going direct, but would liek to be able to get the sound I hear when I play through my amp. I use a single 15" sealed cab for my guitar. I really like the sound I hear when seated not far from my amp. What type of mic would be best for placing where my ears would normally be? I currently only have an SM-57.

I'm gonna record a real loud band. I usually use a V-drums system for drums but this time I want to record the drums 'real' I can use a very good room (15mx10m and 4m high). I want to make good use of this room for recording the drums, i have a RODE classic mic for this.

I am new to MS Micing and want to try it. I understand you need to use a figure 8 mic and make a cord where one input is out of phase with the other.

I've been do my own recording in my basement with some complete crap equipement (a tube preamp, 4 channel mixer, sm-57, large diaphragm condenser mic, 4 other dynamic mics), and a laptop. My budget is severly limited (university student here).

I have to rent some mics to mic up a drum kit. I would like 2 room mics, 2 overheads, 2 snare, 2 bass drum, tom and hat mics. I have an AT 4050 some 57's and a D112 already. I would love some recommendations on some mics I can rent to fufill my needs. Hopefully nothing to esoteric or hard to get as I have to find these hopefully fairly cheap. Opinions on Neumann km 184's or SM 81's?
