Makes sense... but doesn't it works the other way around with pre-amps? The tube pre-amp will also need a tube and some extra stuff I have no idea about. So let's say... a DMP3 (about 150$ for two channels, it's supposed to be the best pre-amp on it's price range) vs a Studio Projects VTB1...

If you could only choose one part of the audio chain to make it analog or tube, to compensate with the coldness of the "digitalness" of the other gear, which one would you choose?

Double post

Wow, a lot of technical answers hehehe but you guys cleaned up some serious doubts I had. In my original post what I meant was: Recently I have been getting into the analog part of recording, and I love a good analog sound (Pink Floyd...). So, if I was looking for an "analog" or "tube" sound...

Obviously comparing models from the same price range, what's best? A "regular" mike with a tube pre-amp? or a Tube Mike with a "regular" pre-amp?

How about the Grado SR-60? I have heard wonders about it. Zucarelli (the ingeneer who invented holophonic recordings) said he only mixes with those headphones :confused: Are they THAT good?

Hi people. Most of you are probably aware of Asus' 400$ laptop. It's supposed to be the most wanted laptop for the X-mass season. Anyway, I'm wondering how usable it is for multitrack recording. Mixing takes a lot more resources, and that would be done in my desktop pc. It would only be for...

Wow! very nice playing! :eek: I was just listening Symphony for the synth, and very nice warm analog sound! :) However it would be great if you could record it also in midi, so I can try some different sounds. The one you used sounds great but I'm not really sure if it's going to fit the band's...

And between the Kickball (50$) And the Apex 125 (70$)?

Great! Thanks! :) I want a solo, but could you please send me your solo first? It's not that I don't trust your skills, but I want to hear what kind of sound it is, to decide in which song and which part I'm going to use it. I only know that I want an analog synth solo somehwere in the record, I...

Anyone? Or I just saw this other option. The KickBall at 50$ Wich one do you suggest?

I mean the batter head inside the shell. Some people use a dynamic on the batter head from outside, but I have only seen people doing that when they have another mic inside the kick, usually a bassy dynamic (112, D6...) or a LDC. Or exchanging those 58s for a 52 isn't such a terrible idea either...

Many people (including myself) use SM57s or SM58 as kick mike alternatives. Keep it really close to the head to get a lot of click and low end from the proximity effect.

Hello people. I was checking out some cheap drum kick microphones (around 50-70$) and then I though about getting a bundle with 3 tom mikes with drum mounts that costs a couple more bucks. So this looks like the best option. Has anyone had any experience with these mikes?

You could try something like buying 3 kick mikes from a store. Let's say the beta52, 112, and D6. You try them, and you keep the one you like the most and return the ones you don't like. Buy 3 OH mikes, a SM81, a Rode NT5 and an Oktava... etc etc... Keeping the ones you like and return the ones...

I don't know if I'm buying it. First I want to know about the mikes, then I will look for a trustable store. Why?

I already posted on the guitar section and invitation for some people to record a couple of guitar solos for my upcoming cd. I love Analog Synth solos, and I don't think any Symphonic Black Metal band has ever used one, so I was thinking.. hell... why not? So if there is any talent out there...

If you want a kit, how about a dynamic kit, like the Shure with a Beta52 and 3 SM57s with mounts, and these babies for overheads? Or make yourself a custom kit with your needs: Ie: Akg 112; 3 x Senheisser 421; 2 x SM81, 2 x SM57... If you are spending 2k on drum miking I don't really see the...
