There's a concept at work out there, that if you think about it, makes some sense. At least to me it does.

Hi all...I'm looking for some conventional wisdom that could help me get a decent sound (1st time Micing drums), using the following:
1 Audix OM/2
1 Hi quality stereo binaural Mic
1 SM58
I will be recording to a Kork D12 (can record 4 tracks at once).
Any help with placement (especially), and EQ etc would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi all,

Hello again Ladies and Gentleman,

I get more use out of this site, thank you to evryone who answers, I really appreciate it.

Anyway on to the question of the day.

I have a session on saturday the 27th. The group is bringing in a tabla player. Does anyone have any idea how to mic tablas?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

What is and how exactly do you use this technique? A friend of mine told me it has to do with two mics one in a cardiod and the other in a figure eight. Any comments GREATLY APPRECIATED. Or any other techniques to get a very lush 3D vocal sound.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate this!

Hi,
I'm doing a favour for a friend this week, and in the process boldly going where no me has gone before. Everything should go fine, but I would be interested in anyone's input on the best way to mic a marimba.
Thanks,
Doug

ok, you have two extra tracks Micing a 4-pc drum kit and you have no mics on your toms and also no room mics. Do you set up two stereo room mics or two tom mics?

i was talking to this engineer ray [vinyl guy @ sterling mastering], and he told me you could do a m/s config. stereo setup with the cardiod as M and a sideways omni as the S [not a bipolar!]

i want to try it, but how does it work? phase wise and all that nonesense? how does it sound?

thanks.

I have a really basic question (even though I'm sure that the answers probably won't be!)...I've always heard that there are so many different ways to record a good set. Is there any particular technique that you should use over any other? The Shure Kit I have (with the SM57's) seems to be able to handle it...

ANY ideas or suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi, I love this forum and have appreciated a lot of the advice presented here. I have a very elementary problem with getting quality sound when Micing my amplifier and am not sure the reason for it. I am recording to HD, my signal chain is (in reverse order) SB Live Platinum, Digitech
