Hello Everyone,

I need to get a pair of good LDCs, for general use, especially for Overheads and vocals.

Here's what I have now:
m-audio delta 1010
Mackie 1604 vlz pro
Hamptone VTP2 on the way

2 c1000s
1 c3000b
2 sm57
1 sm58
1 at pro37
1 AKG d112
1 Sennheiser md421

What's the best way to get the mics through the wall into the control room?

Any recommendations, patch panel? Where do I get it?

Hey, I've been using the same drum overhead mics for every project I do myself or for others the past 5 years, and I think it's time to change it up. It's not that I dislike the sound I just don't want to have the same overhead sound, ya know. I have been using the AKG c430's matched pair for those five years and now I am looking for another sound.

Hey all, apologise if this has already been asked. Just curious what people favourite mics are for Micing a kit. I'm a fan of 57's on most things but I'm new to all this and would love to learn about a few other mics too.

Cheers

Jay

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I am looking into picking up either a Royer R-121 or an AEA R84 ribbon mic to use mainly on electric guitars - but versatility is always good. Has anyone tried the two side by side? Does anyone have any insights on the similarities/differences?

Thanks!

Ryan

Hey guys just wondering what tom mics are getting good results. I've been using cheap little CAD mics for racks and a CAD LD kick drum mic for the floor. I found that my CADs sounded a little nicer than my SM57's. I'm still not super happy though. Was thing of using my TLM 103 on the floor and getting some MD 421's for racks. Any other suggestions?

hi I'm brand new here and i just have a question about phantom power with condensor mics. i have an MXL 990 mic and it says it runs on 48v phantom power but is it possible to run into my friends mixer that has 15v phantom power or would that be bad? thanks for any help.

I'm looking into buying some overheads for my Tama Artstar. It seems to me that the AKG c1000S or the RODE NT5 are my options so far? Any thoughts one those or any oher recomendations?

would cheap dynamic microphones work well enough to mic my drum set?

i don't have money for expensive drum mics or anything. i'd run these into a mixer and then into my 8-track.
