Hi. I am trying to figure out which mics I want to use with which preamps and which settings. I have the ISA-428 pre pack, which has 4 impedance settings, and an SSL VHD 4 channel pre which has hi and low z settings for a total of 8 preamps used mostly to record a live rock band. The mics I...

Here's my story. I had been micing my 5 piece band using AKG C-1000s on drums, akg bass drum mic, sm57 on lead guitar amp, sm57 on rhythm guitar amp. Bass and vocals are direct. Then one day I decided to try a band members mxl 990s for drum overheads. They ended up sounded much better then...

Is it more about listening and making changes by ear, or more about analyzing technically and adjusting according to some kind of model?

I wasn't sure if this should be in the newbie forum, but since I haven't been able to find any in depth posts on this subject. First if we could get a solid definition of spectral balance. I understand you want a nice curve, and no rigid peaks. You want to add distinction and clarity to...

So far we are getting good results without the use of any plug ins or effects, just microphone-pre-amp-converters-cubase. I am wondering if I should not mess with the mix, and worry about that later, or if I should try and experiment myself. I don't really know where to start. Material is...

I have 2 AKG C1000 S microphones I use as drum kit overheads. I want to sell them and get better mics, like SM81's, Crowns, or pelusi. My question, is about durability with these types of mics. I have read that the C1000's can loose their charge or something like that in some conditions...
