There were definitely dynamics there. Loud with a little happening, and loud with a lot happening. :rolleyes: Doesn't help that the cam's mic gain was at full blast.

I hear if you take any Sony headphones and snap them in half, glue them to opposing walls and solder them into some into some 1/4 inch input jacks, you get the Led Zeppelin sound.

Or how about you get a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro and scan it in for the whole world to view online? Karma will thank you later. If not, name your price, I'll do it.

This is one of those songs where I don't give a shit about the recording sound AT ALL because the songwriting/performance is damn good. You could have recorded it with one mic hanging from a fire sprinkler and I would have loved it. I had my arm over the right speaker (on a laptop with...

I've spent a long time trying to emulate the guitar tone for this song. Taking out the lo-mids sounds like a good start. Let me know what the hell you've done when you finally get it. Maybe you just need a dragonfly tatoo and a Sideshow Bob hairdo. Edit: I think the crazy guitar breakdown...

I use an SM57 on the top and a Beta52A around the throat of my djembe. Mix to taste. The djembe creates two distinct sounds, and micing it with anything less than this won't do it justice.

Pop Filters Are Overrated Do Not Buy One Because It Is The Way The Bigwigs Like Guitar Center Make Money Off People Who Dont Know Anything About Recording Dont Worry If Your Song Soundls Like Shit Its All About The Feeling Of The Music You Should Just Take A Good Pair Of Headphones And PULg Them...

No. Inside of the SM57 manual, it explicitly states that the SM57 is not to be used on any acoustic instruments... especially not acoustic guitar. Don't be a rule breaker. Don't be a hero. Don't even think about pushing boundaries.

That was the best thing I've heard all year. Can you just repost this in all of the "What is the best mic for..." threads?

Isn't this what the Buzz Feiten system is supposed to remedy?

MSH, or anyone else for that matter: Can you fill me in on the basics of harmonic distortion and why it's nice for acoustic instruments? ...'cause to tell you honestly, I bought a MSH-4 because it said limited quantities available and I wanted to be the first to try it out. What's the...

I just bought 2 MSH-1A's (no need for a matched pair) as well as the new MSH-4. I'll post up some music as soon as I recieve them. I can't believe I got 3 condenser mic's for under a hundred bucks!

I'm gonna step up and say Major Tom by Bowie. I think there's a lot we could do with the instrumentation we have. If not, that's cool. I'm open to suggestions. We should all arrange to get on an instant messenger to figure everything out. I'm free after 5pm weekdays and all day on weekends...
