I've gone nuts a couple times and used the Recorderman method with close mics on everything including snare bottom and a room mic in front of the kit. But that was only to see how it sounded... which was good btw :)

I've owned 1/4" 8 tracks and 1/2" 16 tracks. I really think they sound great especially on drums and well pretty much everything else :) But I don't mind stuff sounding lo-fi that much. I use Pro Tools HD at times now and it does have better sound quality than 1/2" 16 track. From a fidelity...

When I get lazy or out of stands I drape it over the amp and it always sounds fine.

Theres an ad in TapeOp that says they can tranfer any analog tape to any form of digital. I don't have an issue handy right now though to get the info

Excactly. You can use gates and stuff if you please. Expieriementing with placement is a fun part of recording. I've tried drumagog and it is actually pretty fun to mess around with, but it feels like "auto tune for drums" sorta. What's really neat is getting sounds that are totally different .

I've used em on snare with limited sucess. I think maybe it has more gain than a real sm57?? On amps if its clean they sound fine, but distorted they end up sounding worse. I mainly pull one out if there is no other mic available and someone needs to do a guide vocal or something. They are a...

Ick, everytime I've recorded someone who wants to do drums last I kinda cringe. The drums don't "breathe" in the song usually... I've only heard a few people do it and have it sound alright.

e609 works for my havy big muff sounding stuff. I like the e609 condensor combo aswell the condensor could be anything from an AT 4033, Pro37 or whatever. I like using my 57 on clean guitars more though. But to each his own.

Stetsbar - www.stetsbar.com is a great alternative to bigsby

thats so cool

I've used the C1 for vocals and it works really well. Everyone who I've recorded using it loves how clear their voice sounds. I've also used it as a room mic on drums with exceptional results.

"just add 20ms delay on the room mics and call it a day" :) heh if only it was that easy

No...... Sorry I'm way late responding here but Nigel Godrich did Pavement's last album.

after reading this thread i decided i basically couldnt afford not to try one out. so i bought one on ebay

I'm using the D112 on the kick right now. sm57 on snare (of course) and Audio Technica Pro-37's OH's.... I Just switched from 16 track analog to a digital setup so alot of things sound different to me... I was never ever satisfied with my Tom mics to begin with. I'm gonna check out the...
