I was wondering if any of those pre-made drum mic kits are any good? Is there one that's fairly cheap, but sounds good?

Hey guys,

Hello,

I'm planning on purchasing an mbox/pro tools rig, but I need help choosing which mics to buy.

I went to guitar center to just look around and decided to ask the guy which 2 mics he would recommend (I'm looking to spend around $100 per mic, one for guitar, one for vocals).

hey guys how's the going?

i've been told the D112 is the standard for kick drums. i was also told the Audix D6 was better for recording than the D112. also was told that Beyer M88 'wears out ' pretty fast and i would have to replace the capsule a lot ( except for the older m88 ones.. ). then there's also that Electro-Voice mic...

Hello,

I've got some projects of classical recordings. One of them is a recording of an small orchestra with 2 or 3 vocal soloists. Another project is of recording a pipe organ in a cathedral.

I've recorded previously some pipe organs and few string quartets, but now I'm looking for a good pair of mics.

I'm interested in what kind of mics you guys are using for:

- drums (and on which part)
- guitaramp
- bassamp

Thanks.

Just thinking about experimenting here, and I'm sure someone has done this before... I've seen live drum setups that use 2 pairs of LDC mics (Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater for example) but I don't know if they're as concerned with phase as we are around here...

Hey all,

Anybody compared any JTS mics?

just curious,

thanks,

I started this as a separate topic from SM-57 on snare because I have a different experience. Drummers ALWAYS loved my snare sound and I never used two mics. I "could" have used a bottom mic to add the snare sound, but every time I tried it I dumped it because I didn't need it. I can't think of one session where a drummer asked me "where is the snare sound?"

I know that the issue of dynamics in recent releases has been debated a lot. Although, what I don't quite understand is why DVD-V titles are suffering from this trend as well. Wasn't the whole metADATa concept implemented in order to create more options? It is depressing that I enjoy DVDs from a few years back more than recent releases with their current lack of dynamic range.
