Hi there

Just took receipt of a stereo pair of FatheadIIs (with Lundhals). Just tested them and they are fantastic.

Just wondering, given that ribbon mics can be damaged by gusts of air etc, how close to a cab can they be placed when recording bass? I know this is a difficult question given that I can't give a specific recording volume.

show me what you've got. i'm very interested in hearing the differences between some of these:

sm57
beta57
md421
i5
e609

on sources like these:

electric guitar or bass
hand percussion
acoustic guitar
brass / winds

so who has some extra time today? (y) thanks in advance

Is it possible to do MS with 3 cardioids instead of 1 cardioid and 1 figure 8?

These are my new favorite acoustic guitar mics. Very natural sounding and they came in a cedar box for only $560 for 2 of them. My guitar sounds better than ever before. Anyone else tried them? Any tried them on other instruments?

I stumbled across these things on eBay and had to check them out. I would love to grab em and A/B them with the real deal versions.

What mics give the toms a lot of flexibility from style to style?

Obviously won't record jazz toms the same as rock toms... what mic will give me a lot of room to move?

Thanks

Hi, I'm new round here.

what microphones LOOK the hottest? all sound characteristics aside, what is a mic you think looks sexy? a few that i have recently discovered with a *bling* factor are:

m-audio sputnik
ev re27
any of the gold CAD equitek's

your thoughts?

Hi all,

I just got the SM57 and after recording some samples I noticed I performs like the Shure 8900, so I got both next to each other a put a metronome like 10cms from them, and compared the Waveswhich look pretty much identical.

What type of sounds will help me see the difference ?, is it in front of a amp where I can see a difference ?, any other way to notice it ?

Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone can suggest a couple of mics that i can use for recording acoustic guitar and voice at home. Something with good quality but not too expensive. How many do I need? etc.
Thanks
