Hello,
I am new to the forums, and this seems like a patient community to ask some noob questions about. :p
-
What I have:
7 drum mics
Acid Pro 5
Sonar Home Studio
PC with fire wire and usb ports
Guitar and bass
synthesizer

Recently I mixed a show with a traditional Indian band (Congas, a double ended drum, harmonium, tamborine, shaker and vocal). Unfortunately I only had dynamic mics and although I got a resonably good sound it was a struggle to get enough volume before feedback. The room was timber and glass and very live. The stage seemed to resonate at about 200Hz which didn't help at all.

I am currently looking for a really nice mic to invest in. I would like to keep the price low but for nice I know that really isn't a option. I used a mic at a friends studio a while back for synths and vocals called the Neumann u47. It was made somewhere around the 50's. I am trying to find something of similar variety. Does anyone happen to know anything about RODE mics?

I am a relative beginner. I am planning on setting up a mobile recording studio. I want to be able to take my gear to customer and get a good live recording. the plan is to record the band live and overdub the vocals. this will be for demo's only. once i have a stationary studio space i can overdub everyone to scratch track.

gear i am thinking about is

I'm currently making my first recording set up. As of right now, I only intend on recording vocals (rap, some singing). I've been looking at an AKG Perception 200 (large diaphram condenser) because I've heard it's the best one in my price range. However, I've also heard things about power supplies, preamps , etc...

I have the chance of getting any of the SE mics at very good prices, so I thoughא of having a combination of a few mics which will be used all over for recording acoustic guitars and electric guitars (my main amp is a Twin), piano, vocals and drums. What would be the right set to get out of these options -

First up,..hello folks,...And what a great find this site is :D

I'm looking to buy a stand-alone digital multi-tracker that can handle 16 simultaneous mics as I play large drum kits amd want to close-mic as much as possible.

just wondering what the peeps are using a lot of these days.

I know there old, but i just can't seem to get enough of the Focusrite 6 band EQ, and I almost always start compressing with the fairchild 660.
for limiting, i like the plain jane digirack limiter II.
has anyone used the new III series?

oh yeah, as if i need to say it I'm using Pro Tools.

I am using a seven piece samson drum mic set.
-2x o/head condensers
-1x snare
-3x toms
1x kick.

Does anyone else use these mics, or had any experience with them?

If so any inherent issues with them?

Any tips for thier use?

How do they go with other instrument recording? If OK what combinations?

Guzzy :-?
