Newly drafted “sound guy” in Southern California needs help with Live Sound / DAW Recording in a church setting. I am computer GURU - however I am a new recruit at sound - but have had my eyes "open" - learning...

Hi all :) I recently strayed into the realm of actual recording hardware after years of just using a line-in.

Hey Im looking for a good but inexpensive cordless mic set up. I need 3 mics for live performances. Im really very new to cordless mics, so what do I need to look for? Any help would be great. Also when at an event how and where do you hook up the cordless mics?

if i wanted to test a bunch of microphones e.g. on an acoustic guitar or someones vocal, how would i do that without buying one?

ive just got an sm57 right now but say i found a new singer and that didnt suit her style how would i know which mic would be the best for her without buying a bunch.

So right now I am using the Nomad Factory LM-662 Dual Limiting Amplifier, a recreation of the Fairchild 670 limiter. I use this as the first plugin in my mastering chain to just even out the dyanamics, very lightly.

As far as anyone who might master "In The Box", what are you using for this task.

Has anyone heard of this Scotland based preamp manufacturer? I'm looking at a used DB200 2-channel mic preamp and wondering how it stacks up to something like Focusrite ISA428 or FMR's RNP.

Thanks,

Conor

I need to good condenser mics what would be a good choice my buget is anyhting

I just got offered a good deal on a Sony ECM-999, (MS mic) and was wondering what, if any, opinions are out there on this mic.

Always on the lookout for a good stereo mic system, I like to keep my eyes open for deals, new products, etc. ... (Someday I'll buy another AKG 422 or 424!)

Hi, this is my first post. I've been reading for a while and finally decided to jump in. I'm looking for helpful hints and/or suggestions on how to mic a choral concert I'll be recording.

Hello:

My church group will be playing at a college gym with 1000+ people in attendance. I would like to get a "good" recording of our performances but have limited equipment and an even more limited budget. I have 2 Beheringer C-2 Condensor mics, and Alesis 8 track mixer and my laptop with firewire interface box running cubase.
