Recording a three piece instrumental band with 2 mics

Hi everyone

I play in this band:

and we're looking to do some recordings of new material.

does anyone know what kinda mics professional broadway shows use the theatre i work for is looking to buy some new ones but I'm just looking to here about what are good ones and ones to stay away from

Not in a monetary sense, more of a quality sense. I just found them and remembered that they were given to me a looooong time ago (long enough that I've forgotten) by my brother. He got them in some weird/shady trade or something.

None the less, nothing of the online research has been favorable so far, so I thought I'd ask about them here.

They are:

Really...for what kind(s) of applications? I'm new, so I don't know.
Furthermore, why would you NOT buy them?

Thanks.

So we have about 2 condensers and 1 sm57 for my snare. Ad we have about 8 vocal mics. Is there any easy way to record drums with vocal mics?

Hello all

I think I asked about these before, but people had not had a chance to really get their hands on them yet. JoeH gave a quick thumbs up in a previous thread. Has anyone else tried these out? I'm very interested, but keep telling myself, " if it looks too good to be true..." I mean, come on - two ribbon mics, shock mounts, case, Blumlein bar for $325? What's the catch?

Hi has anyone tried any of these T.Bone dynamic mics for recording?

I'm also interested in this condenser

Ok, i finally have money coming in so i can buy some more recording equipment. Im after selling my Mbox2 so all i have is an sm57 and a stereo pair of t bone em800. I'v decided on getting the PreSonus firepod for the interface but cant decide on if i need a preamp with an eq and compressor or a separate eq and compressor.

who knows what kind of tom mics are being used here?
