From what I've learned from browsing these forums and talking to people who know more than me about the subject, I've deciCDed to go with these mics for recording a standard drum setup into a Firepod:
2 RODE s NT3
a Beta 52A
and if I can streth my budget enough a SM57.

Hi there again - yes yes yes - sorry to be asking so much.

What I am doing right now is creating a live set which shall be pre setup as I am using a digital desk and a sequencer as well as loads of live instruments. Therefore I am pre mixing for a live situation.

I am considering the purchase of a Grace Lunatec V3 two channel preamp with A/D converter. I am currently using a Demeter preamp and the Grace would be a very different beast. I am using a TC Gold Channel (which I got for a great price) as my AD converter (24 bits, 48 Khz) and going to an M-box.

Is it possible to damage a KM184 just by unscrewing the tip? I was searching for the serial number to register my mic, and then screwed it back together. Now the mic seems to be not working. Is this a fluke, or did I possibly damage it by unscrewing the tip? It was working fine before.

ive done a little research and all 3 of these mics claI'm to give the most gain before feedback. i wondered if anyone had had any experience with them and which might actually do the job best and sound good doing it at the same time.
thanks :)

Hi there! If you have a song that starts off dead quite say just an acustic guitar and a vocal and slowly builds to a full on rock herdling distorted guitar ending how do you still make the beggining of the track start load, volume wise, without loosing that quiet feeling. Iv heard similar effects on proffesional recording but am unsure of the clever remedy. Does anyone know the secret?

Hi all

Okay, here’s a bit of a puzzler for you…

First, a little background: I’ve set up our kit (a ‘67 Ludwig oyster pearl kit with a Black Beauty snare) with these mics:

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has tried any mics in the Sontronics range. I'm trying to find out more about the STC-1.

THANKS!

Shaun
