    Cheap TOM MICS

    I agree with not doing the radio shack thaangg But I would think about 57s, very multi purpose that you can use for other things like guitar or even sometimes vocals when theres no condensers around. you can find 57s for about $75 .US

    Linkin Park - Meteora - guitar sound ??? Anyone...

    Give the guy a break he has a very good Question based on sound not how you feel what is good quility music. It will all depend on what you are recording to, Dig or analog. this changes a lot in how you record the sound you are looking for.

    Gating the snare drum . . .

    I personally love gatting the toms, the snare all depends on style of the song like when there using ghost notes. The main reason for gating is because if you got a good sounding room and good overhead mics and maybe a good room mic you then can rely more on them for the breath and character of...

    Mic-ing a LOUD guitar amp?

    I also record Digital, I find that recording heavy guitar can be the hardest sound to get for the guitar. I dont know if this is the sound your trying to go for but I do believe a 57 1 to 3 inches aimed to the center but angled a little off center/ but its really a matter of the amp its self so...

    How Far Away From a Condenser Mic Do You Typically Sing?

    I agree with Gidge, 6 to 12 is about where I usually put the singers in my studio, and it really does depend on the style of songer, its also good to sing with the mic just a little up from mouth level so that you use the right muscles and technech. excuse the spelling.

    Mic Pre Effect

    You are so right /Jazz Country /Blues/ then Last but not least I feel a better singer is needed. I was in a band back in the 80s that many record companys were interested in. we had a pretty big following and the singer was the perfect front man (But) on tape he was'nt good enough and after two...
