So, I've noticed that on most of the live albums I've heard, the recording quality does still pass as good and you really do feel like you're "there" watching the band. You can usually get a feel for the environment, if it's outside or in a venue and the size of the building, etc. I've been...

Ok, There is a local band that my band has been good friends with for a long time. I'm a huge fan of their music. They broke up about 5 months ago but still have remained friends/in touch. Anyways, I've convinced them to let me record them so I can/we can have some recordings of their material...

Has ANYONE had any experience with these? There seems to be a drought of info on these mics. They're $50 a pop new, and I'm looking to get a pair for stereo OH's. 100hz-20khz. Or are they crap?

On a tight college budget here and will be doing some recordings this winter break with my band. Current things I'm lookin' for: Behringer ADA8000 mic pre/ADAT. Any condition ok, just needs to be working fine. 57. Cosmetics don't matter, just needs to be working fine. Mic cables. Do you...

My band plans to record a demo soon so I'm in search of some decently affordable but good mics for micing my drummer and my guitar cabinet. We plan to DI the bass and keyboard and dub in the main vocals later using an AT 2020 mic. My current gear setup includes: Fostex VF160ex recording unit...

Ok, simple question from a newbie. Preamp has balanced TRS 1/4" outputs. Recorder has unbalanced TS 1/4" inputs. What kind of cable do I use? TS or TRS? Or do I need some kind of adapter?

My band is going to be recording some demos soon on a digital 8 track multitracker. We own a 58 but also have access to borrow 4 or so other 58's. We also have a couple other cheaper mics and one condenser. Can we achieve decent results using the 58's to mic things other than vocals? For...
