Real quick, should i consider upgrading first, my mics or my pres. I am going to, no matter what, be picking up 2 of the groove tubes gt44 mics. but should I look into a high quality condensor/dynamic I do mostly the rock genre music.

Hey guys,

So I have this all tube guitar amp, (Peavey Classic 30, highly under rated) which has a line coming out right after the preamp, to insert effects and such.

So I was wondering, is there a way to hook a mic into it, use it as mic preamp-amp(on the clean channel, I presume), then have that line out go to a mixer?

Let me start off by saying that I actualy know almost nothing about mics, or micing. . so I came here to learn.

I originially posted this at the tail end of another post, but I thought I'd make a new one, just for fun.

What I'm really saying here is: If one is forced to limit one's equipment choices, usually from budgetary constraints one has to choose way more wisely.

So here goes:

Ok guys...I'm having a breakdown. I have a band coming in with more drums than I have mics. Here is my mic list...don't laugh:

1- D112
1- Beta 52a
1- Blue 8 ball
1- Oktava MK-319
2- Oktava MC012
4- Shure SM57

Here is what I was going to do. .let me know if you think it will be sufficient:

First off I would like to say hello and allowing me to be a part of this valuable site.
Second I use to be the kind of guy that said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" untill this past week.

What would be a good vocal mic to purchase for around $500 if you have any suggestions that are more I'm open to waiting a little longer to purchase one to save up the money but try not to go over $1000 and tell me why i should wait to get that one over one that is around 500 dollars one mic that i was looking at was 600 it was the AKG c4000 what do you think of this one?

Hi all,
I hope everyone had a good Christmas!

I'm waiting for my Christmas present (from myself!) to arrive. It's an AT4060.

I am trying to narrow it down for mic and mic preamp choices for next purchase, any help in this process is appreciated.

Below is part of the equation, you Choose which Matched pair SD Mics you would use and which Dual Mic Pre and if possible Why you chose what you did under the following conditions:
