Hey all, so I have a few options I think for overhead mics... I've been using Shure 57/58s but I know that those are far from ideal for overheads... anyway, here are my options: - Buy another Studio Projects B-1 and use two of those - Bite the bullet and buy a pair of Oktava MC-012s although I...

Hey all, I think I might have done some not-so-smart things with my mics. Examples are I recorded my friend's band with my Shure Beta 52, placing it directly at the hole (he doesn't use too much kick though, and it wasn't for very long) and also my Studio Projects B-1 has fallen down a couple...

Hey all, I own four Shure SM-57s, but I really don' think I need this many... My current setup is a 2-channel Digidesign Mbox. I was thinking of selling two of them, leaving me with two (for drum micing, guitars, etc.). Do you think I will be okay with having 2? I was thinking about selling...

Hey all, tomorrow I'm recording a friend of mine, she plays piano and sings. I have basically two choices for the vocals (I'm using the B-1 for the piano), the SM-58 or the B-1. Naturally, I should try out both, but the problem is I don't have a pop filter for my B-1, so I don't know if her...

Hey all, I've read that you should get a pop filter to prevent moisture from getting into the mic... I'd like to keep my mics a long time, so I am wanting to invest in one. However, right now the B1 is my only condenser, and it came with that black cover for the screen... is that sufficient, or...

Hey all, I recently bought a SP B-1 that I like a lot. I realized now though that perhaps I should have bought a pair of them to use as stereo drum overheads. Do you think I should go with another SP B-1 and use them together for this purpose? Or should I perhaps invest in another pair of...

Hey all, I've narrowed down my choices for a new condenser mic(s). I currently own some SM57s, SM58s, Beta 52, and just this morning I ordered the Studio Projects B-1 since I've read enough threads to have the impression that it's a solid, inexpensive workhorse (I picked this over the MXL 990...

Hi, I am looking to buy my first condenser microphone. I currently have a few SM57s, a Beta 52 kick mic, and a couple 58's. I'm borrowing my friend's MXL 990 right now, but I imagine there is something better out there. I'll be using it mostly to record amplified clean guitar and synthesizer...

Hey all, so I used my Mbox to record a friend's band this week with my Powerbook and Pro Tools LE. The prelimenary results were actually really surprising, it's definitely not studio quality, but much better than a lot of crappy recordings I've heard. I have a few questions as to how to make...
