Hi guys! another easy qustion for me...
I was woundering if any of you guys have a recomendation for a good pair of mics for a tom and flor tom...my price limit is around 350$ (max) anyone? most of my recordings are hard-core/punk-rock/easy-rock sort of recordings...

thanks a lot for everything and every one!
noam from israel!

so for the past few days ive been doing some recording with a fellow guitarists mics and all... getting my Alesis problems worked out *shakes fist* but its all running now and my dad just brought me home my present of 10 Bogen HDU250 mics so I'm pretty happy... really happy actually now its just stands and cables.

any good intefaces i could use?

i want to try recording Drums with on mic on the bass and one over head over the snare, Guitar mic'd And Bass mic'd to the amp...

I'm thinking bout the Alesis 8USB 8channel ananlog mixer interface..what do you guys think?

While technically it it true that 24bit gives you "more dynamic range", the real benefit is the increased resolution. You have to realize that an audio waveform is constantly passing from positive to negative, very quickly. in these microseconds you get down in the "crevices" near 0 physical amplitude, which is -inf in your DAW.

Hey guys -

Just thought I'd share cuz it doesn't happen everyday.

I just started working on a project for a California-based band (After the Crash).

Hi, I have 3 mics at hand, and i was just wondering how to put them to good use. It'd be nice if you guys could tell me like "oh this one is good for recording guitar amps or that one is good for the snare..."
you guys get the idea, i'm just starting off and these are my dad's mics.
these are the mics:

1- Superlux PRA-218A

2- Sennheiser 3K-U

I'm a sucker for strange, cheap mics. I picked up a pair of the super-cheap MXL's at Guitar Center. (Same company as Musician's Friend.) Though I have a closet full of Shures, Sennheisers, AKG's, Royers, Neumanns, AT's, etc, I actually went back and bought a second pair to give to a friend.

i need mics for a drumset. could you guys give me some good recomendations for the toms, the snare, kickdrum, and overhead?

i have the sm57 for snare in mind, that good?
i'm just starting to record

thanks

Ahh I hate asking this, it seems like the question of the day. I m usually extremely decisive in my gear purchases but I'm in a tuff spot. I'm really happy with the gear I have now but there is definitely room for improvement to get " the sound." Where I'm at right now I'll prob only be able to make 1 more large purchase for the time being.

anyone used these beyerdynamic mics?

opus 69
opus 89
tgx-60

if so what are they like? good GBF etc.

they seem to have great polar charts.
