ok i m Micing a 4x12 cab with a sm57 Micing the center of the cone, and read that a u87 at the edge of the cone is quiet good for taking low end as a second mic, but there is my question how far from the cab do i put the u87, in which direction, what type of capture do i choose ?

And I thought Dynamics were a good thing...

This probably goes under the mastering context, but how many of you have found the volume war translating out to acoustic music?

I will do dynamic manipulation- especially to the performances with massive dynamic swings. However, I have a chamber music client that has been killing me with requests for less dynamic range.

best mics, or best preamps on a budget?

Okay let's say I have a limited budget(true) and let's say I have not yet bought my gear(true) and let's say I won't have clients looking over my shoulder and asking 'why there is the noticeable absence of a U87'(true):

If I'm reading you guys right, I'm hearing that an SM57 can sound like gold run through a great pre, but a $2G mic sounds like yik run through a cheapo pre-amp.

Earthworks mics and preamp

Hi all,
I'm curious about these mics. I don't think I've ever seen one mentioned here regarding a mic strategy. As a previous inhabitant of the outside world, I was initially surprised not to see them mentioned more often -although I had since forgotten that they existed -I really should get out more often! I'm especially curious about the preamp.

Thanks
John
