Cheers for that toobalicious. :) I'm going for a 'garage demo' kind of sound (which is pretty low quality) because when we record our albums we always go into a studio, but this is just a little something I can set up at our drummers house so we can record songs to develop them, they're not for...

Yep, that's the one. Thanks! -Creep

Thanks a lot man! Much appreciated! Thanks for going out of you way to help me :) Thats great, I am looking at buying a SM57 or and SM58, what would you recommend? Cheers!

So that's not good? Alrighty. What if I bought SM57? Also, what's a pad switch? Cheers.

Oh I'm just intrigued because I'm probably going to try it. I'm looking for examples because I want to know if it's worth trying, if it's absolutely awful I wouldn't bother. I'm just really into the cheap recording, I love a scratchy sound :) Haha sounds odd yeah.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't figure which one it should go in. I was wondering if anyone had a recording of just drums being recorded with one mic in the best position they could find? I've only got one mic right now and quality isn't a big deal (it's not for gigs etc) so...

Hi, Was wondering, if I was to use one mic to record some drums (yeah, I know one mic isn't a good idea for drums but I'm just testing it out) and I was wondering if I was to place the mic perhaps near the bass or snare (I would use it as an overhead but don't want the cymbals splashing...

Anyone at all?

Is it better than Audacity, in your opinion? I've never really liked it. (Audacity)

If I was to place one mic in the centre of the kit (below the cymbals) what kind of sound would I be getting? Does anyone have a sample? No pressure. PS: I know it will sound bad, but you don't know my standards haha. If anyone can make me a sample it would be much appreciated but once again...

Thank you all for the replies, especially the last two by roguetitan! It's all much appreciated! :) I'm slowly gathering information and deciding what I want to buy... Kind regards, Creep

Anyone? :(

Hi, I just found a LANE LM-580 in my house that I didn't know I had. I can't find much info on the net about it, so I thought I'd ask the community here :) Is it possible to record with this microphone? What's it good for? (if anything) Once again, apologies for my nub-ness/incompetence. All...

Bumped. :)

Thanks for that! Very helpful. :) I'm not sure as to what to do right now, but here's the question I'm after at the moment: Is it worth me buying 2 or 3 mic's if I don't have a preamp/mixer? Or will the sound be similiar to a dodgy internal laptop mic because of going straight into the line in...

What would your opinion be if I bought 2 or 3 ES57's and placed one as an overhead on the drums, one on the kick, one to pick up hi-hat and snare? Would this still sound terrible going straight to a laptop? And if it would, what can I do/buy to make the sound better when using 3 ES57's? Getting...

No worries, thanks! The ZOOM H2 looks great, are you sure they're $100 off eBay? I looked and they all seemed to be around $180. And do you think that H2 would be alright for recording different instruments?

Thank you all for your replies! You've been more than helpful! =) Is it possible to get songs from tape onto computers in mp3 format?

Thanks a lot hairylarry, mrface and Lo-Fi Mike for your responses, all very helpful! I'm not sure if this helps, or if this is regarded as a good recording sound, but this is the kind of sound I would be happy with: https://youtube.com/watch?v=j2Wqq10wFss And to answer your question no it's...

Thanks for that Cosmic! Very helpful =)
