Hi I am starting work on some recordings for a friend soon and I am looking for some Micing suggestions regarding a beyer m-160 ribbon mic

The stuff we will be working on is acoustic guitar and vocals mainly. A kind of slightly folky slight nick cave kind of feel. The guitar is mainly fingerpicking so its not too loud. We will be recording the vocals separately.

Hello:

Hey everyone, I often times have a lot of trouble singing if I am not playing my guitar at the same time. There are a lot more fluctuations and screw ups when I am just singing along to the music. Do you guys often record an acoustic artist while he both sings and plays at the same time? If so then I will go out and buy another mic.

I am going to be recording an upright bass for a rockabilly/ska type band. The bass has a pickup and he plays thru a GK amp and a GK 4X10 cabinet. I don't think I will have a hard time capturing the low end, but I am not sure what I should do to capture that signature rockabilly snap from the strings. . Would simply Micing the strings with a condenser do it or is there a better method?

Hey all, Thought I needed to seek some experience and wisdom an micing. Doing my wife's second album (Cletic gospel), and about to record uilleann pipes.
I've not recorded them before and considering the different exits the sound comes out, I want to be sure that I mic it right.
It seems to me that ambient sound could be important with such an instrument - what think ye.

okay up until now (the ~5 years ive been home recording) ive always used midi drums, lately DKFH2, and have learned the ins and outs of mixing them to taste, but ive run into a problem. were recording live drums for my bands demo, and have been unsuccessful twice now.

Reading Wieslaw Woszczyk's interesting article on Acoustic Pressure Equalizers on the DPA Microphones site http://www.dpamicrophones.com/Images/DM01554.pdf, I was struck by a provocative statement on page 21:

I need advice on Micing drums with only two xlr's. I have the Tascam us122. One mic i want to be on the bass the other as and OH. What mic are good in these aspects? and won't break my pocket. The sound i'm trying to get is a mixture of rap and rock. help please.

Hi all! I've got some vocals to record tomorrow for my band, and I think I'm going to try setting up two mics, and send them each to their own track. Probably put up an MD421 and either an AT2020 or MXL 2001. These will each run into a Mackie VLZ for pre's, then an ART Pro VLA compressor. The mics would be set up as close as possible to each other, with a pop-filter in front of both.

maybe this is another remedial question, but for the guys that want to saturate their tubes and overdrive their speakers without an attenuator for that purist effect; do they just place a mic many feet back from the amp? can you give me some examples if any of big name guitarists who have done this?
