    Behringer C2 Condenser Mic

    My Opinion It is likely that this is a transsound capsule. http://jlielectronics.com/transsound/electrets/tsb-160a.htm From what I hear, you'd have to replace the circuit to get a decent sound, which is probably what I'm going to do with my C2s... Look up 'Alice the Mic.' Good choice if...

    Your thoughts on this hip hop track...

    I have the same problem I have the same problem... I ask for advice and then sometimes get defensive when people give their opinion. I think it's cuz I grew up without any support from my family for my music and art. I try to keep in mind that opinions are just opinions, and are...

    Your thoughts on this hip hop track...

    My 2 Cents Vox style is street solid. Do yoselves a fava and get Propellerhead's Reason... Spend a few days recording a ton of random samples and chopping them up. I'd like to hear more samples and vocal FX, 'specially in the chorus. For stuff like this, production makes the $Change$ so...

    cable failed building inspection

    Walloping Although it is well under 1 watt... You can get code books, or go to the library and read them. They differ state to state, but you should be able to find small signal, audio, and data transfer regulations. Give the inspector the specific code you were following when you installed...

    Mic Pad

    Pads I only use the pad if the mic clips my preamps. I have preamps with gain switches, not volume knobs, so I have to pad quite often. I'd only use the pad on the mic if really necessary. ie, if it's clipping the preamps. Pads are just a resistive network, and add noise to your signal. Albeit...

    Cymbal Heavy Drummer

    Drummers don't change Let's assume that the drummer will not change his playing - - - I've done a few things: a) Close mic'd the toms from inside or below. Throw a blanket on the bass drum. b) Mic'd the overheads at waist level in front of the drumset. Usually helps to throw a heavy blanket...

    trying to record a grand piano

    Mic'ing a Piano an XY pair under the open cover seems to work well for me. You kinda have to shuffle 'em around to get a decent spread on the EQ. I've also mic'd behind the piano player's head for lots of key attack, but that was in a tiled floor/cedar walled room... I tried behind the piano...

    How to mic a choir?

    Mic'ing a Chair I'd put one mic under the chair and one over the chair. If the chair has a good sound, it might stand alone well in the mix if recorded in a good room. If the chair needs a touch of EQ going in.... ohhhh wait a minute.... Any CHOIR I've seen was mic'd with an XY small...
