What is the best way to set up drum mics during pre production?
Mainly, what order to set them up in?

OK, here goes.
You asked, I listened.

The low down (get it?):

I plan on recording myself on vocals, cello, acoustic guitar, maybe conga and tambourine with a Tascam 40GB 8 track. I'm seriously considering just getting two Shure 57s off ebay.

I'm also considering upright piano, but I'd need more than two mics for that, right? Thanks a lot in advance for any advice.

Hey people

I need an opinon on whats the best Brass mics to get?I need few and the old budget is 200 euro
Any one suggest any..i was looking at t-bone mics but i dont know sound
Any feedback would be cool
Thanks

lately i haven't been happy with how my sound is, and i think it might be because of the firepod that I'm running everything through. I was wondering what everyone thought would improve the sound more. a new interface such as the Mackie 800R or if anyone has any suggestions or a some new mics. I have 4 sm57, Beta 52, AKG Perception 200 and two of those really crappy $60 MXL mics.

Hi all. I've got a friend who recently did a factory-direct buy of some Chinese mics. He's holding a pair of ribbon mics (they're un-branded, but the same as the rectangular bodied Avantone ribbons) for me. The price is right, but I'm wondering about the cheap pre's I have, and if they will cut it with a pair of ribbons.

just wondering what the general view is on compressing the overhead drum mics during tracking. Necessary?,Stupid?,Imperative?
I realize that its mostly a matter of opinion and taste,but if anybody has any input or suggested threshold/ratio-attack/release settings theyd like to share id dig it very much.

what mics are good for vocals mostly rap and females singing,,,under the price of $300...i read a lot but i wanna hear what you guys say to make up my mind...thanks a lot for time!

I have actually heard the SMB7 is a poor mans U47 is this true?

I know the Soundelux E47 is a great reproduction but it is $4K, Peluso 22 47 which is $1400-1900 depending on tube or solid state.

Ive been in a band for 2 years and we have 3 members; 1 vocalist/electric guitar, 1 bass player, 1 drummer... we have an emx5014c mixer, and two Yamaha br-15 speakers, the music we play is mostly hard rock/punkish/scremo. .we will be using a mac book to record. can anyone recommend professional mics for vocals, guitar, bass,and hi-hat mics.
