I just finished recording this black metal band and started mixing yesterday. its a pretty brutal track. have a listen, let me know what you think. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=855474&content=music

about those naiants... I too am getting some overheads, and if i had more $, i would go w/ the oktava MK- 012's- the recordings ive heard w/ those have sounded more full than others ive checked out. so not X-Q's? Have you had experience wit X-M's, or could you offer any comparison between...

Naiant Im not sure, but Naiant may ship overseas. Ive really liked the X-Q's ive used. I havnt actually used them as overheads... but ive heard recordings of them and they sound really great for the tiny price. Actually right now im deciding if I want to order a pair of the X-Q's or X-M's for...

So im getting a pair of Naiant mics- theyre cheap and ive liked my friend's X-Q's that ive borrowed. I didnt get the chance to try out the X-Q as drum overheads (sadly I dont have drums to try them on). After checking out the Naiant site, Im kinda leaning towards getting a pair of X-M's instead...

ill be recording my band and other bands the range is from chill music to black metal- i think ive got what im getting now Kick Drum: Audix d6 Tom mics: 2 AKG D 22, 1 Audix d2 Snare: sm57 hats: sm57 Overheads: Naiant X-Q Mogami Silver cables im pretty happy with this, and it leaves me with...

Wooo that makes me happy yay cheap mics!

So ive been doing research... a lot of research, looking for drum micing solutions. When looking for overheads, ive seen the Naiant MSH 1 come up alot as something cheap and decent. Now i go the the naiant site, and find they done have anything in the MSH line, or even mention it! After doing...

oh and how about the audix i-5? any opinions of it vs. sm57

:) Yeah that grant thing was lucky - its a "creative use of technology" :) so to be most cost effective, i was looking at the Shure Drum Mic Package any opinions on this? i figured then i could get this then spend the rest of the 400 on some cables, stands (DI box?) and some other mic/s.

oooh and and im figuring to get 2 or 3 di boxes 1. would it be worth it? 2. im thinking about the horizon straight line SL1 -- any experience w/ them?

So heres the situation -- i got a grant for $800 to buy some recording equipment to compliment the stuff ive already got. Right now, i have an alesis firewire mixer (16 channel), 2 sm57, 1 sm58, 2 MXL 993's, only 3 stands (2 boom) and 6 cables... Im looking to get some stuff to mic drums better...

ive got 3 new songs recorded and was wondering what you guys though of them. these are the 3 songs: crust/ wall of water- this is off of a live recording i did w/ my firewire void-this is live too annie- ive already noticed some stuff i wanted to change, but i figured id get some more input...

Pvc When I was just starting to play with a band, we didnt want to spend money on mic stands, so we made some out of PVC. its pretty cheap, and you can get anywhere. Even though i have real stands now, i find im still using the PVC ones for random applications.

So im looking for some quality drum overheads without going over $500ish. Im have a pair of MXL 993's, but they dont strike me as great quality. Any ideas?
