Dwafs setup

[dwarf]

...well soon to be

Yamaha aw16g
Shure beta57
Shure sm57
Marshall MXL pack (603 and 2001)

This is going to be my starting rig. I'm going to have to get a set of monitors (until then it's through headphones) and some drum OH's.

Ratings?

Haven't used any of that except for the sm57.. I give the sm57 the thumbs up

[dwarf]

Hey Hey Hey we got us a South Aussie, almost though I was the only one.

Victor Harbor ring a bell?

Cheers for the reply on the snm57 too.

[MichaelM]

Nice one. Haven't been down to victor for a while though.. I'm from yorke peninsula so I already have nice beaches

This is going to sound awfully lofi but don't get locked into Shure as you standard mic. Try all sorts & prices, little cheapies have their own intertesting sonic qualities - my current faves are a brace or Sony 19B Electret condensors (70's stuff & cheap too). They are very versatile. I have "better" mics but like to use a range.
Use whatever you can get & add ALL the time obviously.
Cheers from the East Coast
