    The Olden days

    Hey I'm listening to some old Cuban music and the sound is awesome, horns, percussion, acoustic guitars, fantastic vocals. I have no idea when these songs were recorded but I have a feeling it could be as far back as the 40s or 50s. My question is what kind of mics did they use back then...

    You get what you pay for.

    Let's face it when it comes to mics you get what you pay for. A hundred dollar mic is going to sound like a hundred dollare mic and a thousand dollar mic is going to sound, well you get the picture. The bottom line the more you pay the more you get. So if you want a decent mic save your money...

    Sqeak at the nut

    I have a Fender Strat and recently I noticed the first string the E started to sqeak at the nut whenever I bend the string. Before I start taking things apart I thought I'd ask what it could be here. Thanks

    Sp C1

    I'm considering one of these why? Because of the reviews that's why. Yes I'm actually falling for this crap. Do you have a C1 what are your comments? Do you not own a C1 but would like to share your wisdom on the subject? Please enlighten me.

    What good are mic reviews?

    What good are mic reviews if everyone has a slightly different opinion and they all give the usual middle of the road opinion? At the end of every review you read something like "Over all I say it's a good mic for the price." Speaking of the lower end mics that dont' cost a thousand dollars...

    Lets talk pedals

    For starters I just got a Pro Co "The Rat" distortion pedal off of ebay. Anybody have one of these? A freind recommended it to me. I guess these are from the 80's anyway it rocks. It's a nice change of pace for my Fender Deluxe. My Fender Deluxe's distortion is nice too.

    Micing Guitar amp with Condensor mics

    Does anybody here mic their guitar amp with a condensor mic for recording purposes? I had a feeling this was a way to go to get a better sounding recording. That was when I had an analog recorder and I just couldn't get a good sound with my SM57 but now that I got a digital recorder it's not so...

    Korg D1200s

    I bought one of these off ebay, risky I know. I'm a gambler I guess. Anyhoo, it didn't come with the instructional video just the manual. I just about exploded my head trying to figure this thing out. It was a far reach from my Tascam 414 I was used to using. After two days I'm recording and...

I have a SM57 mic which I've been using but I notice it doesn't capture the amps true sound. I want something that going to capture the sound as close as possible. Would a condenser mic be...
