    So How Much Are These Chinese Mics Costing To Make?

    Morality and values are dictatated by a cultural barometer. No more. no less. How would you feel if the Chinese imposed their beliefs and values on you? So, be carefull when imposing yours on cultures and religions that are not yours!

    Different mic options for sax.

    That is more true with the clarinet family. You will see plenty of mics designed to go on the bell of the sax and they work fine. However, if you put one of those on the bell of my bass clarinet, you will really only hear the keys closest to the bell. I hear that an sm57 sounds good through an...

    convince me to run out and rent 414's!

    For starters, we need to know one important thing. Are these drums being recorded by themselves, or are they being recorded in the context of other live instruments at the same time? if i was going to record them solo with what you have mentioned, i might try putting one sm57 in the sweet spot...

    Figure 8

    I know how it works. But, I am curious to know what applications you have used this patern in, both sucessful and not. What are some situations where it really excelled in a situation where you thought it might not. What kind of recording situation would you immediatly think "figure 8" ?

    Most Versatile Mic Under $1000

    A lot of folks have been asking what is the best mic under a grand for this application or that application. In the end, it's all just subjective. Some sight say that the SM7 is the best for vocals, or maybe a good ribbon like the AES. Some might say that the AKG 414 is best for many...

    What's the best mic I can get for under $200?

    i never claimed it was goos, just the best mic under $200. you should hear a matched pair as drum overheads, almost like john bonham bigness with later van halen drum sould. phil collins used them on "in the air". steve albini swears by them. as well as george martin!

    What's the best mic I can get for under $200?

    honestly, the best mic for under $200 is the shure slim "x" model 777. this mic was made in the 50'/60's and is really a true unsung gem. what was unique about it is quite extraordinary. a frequency responce of 2.7-33.9 khz. a self noise of 2 , probably the only small diameter mic that is...

    shockmounts for SP C4's

    Do as Christiaan says in terms of attatching them to the mic stands. According to Alan Hyatt the first batch of shockmounts were not all that great, and this problem has since been corrected. If you contact Alan at Studio Projects he will ship you some new ones for free, at least that's what...
