I read on here about miking drums, and that you should use *this* high SPL mic for *THIS* drum, and so on and so forth for kicks and such... of course, the idea is to get the best recorded sound. Can you do something crazy, like use an Oktava Mk219 on the toms, Shure BG4's on the snare, your...

Chessrock, you're such a pimp.

aww! Track, you rock ANYway. You always answer my posts! Thanks! Jimmy

do you know anything about the Superlux PRA238 kick drum mic or the Superlux 218b kick drum mic? I was really lucky with my Superlux CM-H8A large dia. condesner... I'd be willing to give one of those a shot. Jimmy

besides the Sennheiser e602, the AKG D112, and the Shure Beta 52, are there any other kick drum mics that you folks suggest? I want to get one... I have been using an SM-57... Sorry! Jimmy

DAW By DAW, you mean Digital Audio Workstation, right? Well, I guess the only digital thing is my soundcard and my copy of Cool Edit Pro.

I was hoping to get some advice from you guys about what I *might* need... I am getting my studio (ha ha) up and running, and I have followed just about all of the advice I have gotten from you HomeRecc'ers (thank you, BTW)... I want to throw down my list here, and get some suggestions as to...

hey senn, what kind of analogue recording gear do you use?

...that's ever happened in your studios or during your home recording sessions? Just curious... we're always talking abotu how to SOLVE problems... What have the problems been? Hope I'm not bringing back bad memories!!! Jimmy

Well, my Echo Mia card is getting to be a little less than I need. Can you guys suggest something else? I know little about these cards, and I want to get something better, maybe something from a different company, but I have a budget of about three-hundred. Any suggestions?

I'm looking at the specs on my E-100 (CAD)... SPL... What is this? SPL at 142 dB... Obviously I know what deciBels are... Oh... By the way, if anyone cares... GO BUCKS! (i'm at Ohio State... I have to care...) Jimmy

any suggestions? do you guys have brands and models you like of the CD burners?

I looked around here for this, couldn't find much. Are there any materials out there, or posts HERE better yet, that explain the correct way to mic a grand piano? (spatial considerations have been addressed. this will be done in a 600 seat theatre, with an electric bass, electric guitar, 2...

i read somewhere... Hey Brad, I keep reading that the DA-88 is the "Industry Standard" in digital recording. But then again ADAT is a lot cheaper... What's with this? I see a lot more ADATs on ebay than I do these expensive puppies. Which is the better medium and machine, in your opinion?

Sorry for the explination type question... What exactly is this unit? It looks as though it takes some kind of tape... And you can chain 6 of them together with the remote??? WOW: Someone please explain to me what this is!

stand alone CD burner...? Is this piece of gear capable of taking inputs and recording just like other types of tape medium? Please don't take this statement as flaming, because we don't want a war like the one that's going on in the Mic Watch post... I am SO SORRY Track Rat... You don't...

track rat, thanks for replying so quickly. I basically want to have one for doing on-spot live recordings... For example, I don't have a studio space to call my own, but I'm a lighting designer with access to a huge theatre, and sometimes we record rehearsals in there... It's a lot easier to...

Does anyone still use a DAT recorder? I have been thinking about getting one, but I can't make a definite decision as to what kind or which brand to choose. I like the Panasonic ones because of the XLR-inputs, but do you guys have a favorite? What do you use them for the most?

wow thanks for clarifying guys. I never thought of it like that. I have been enlightened! Jimmy

well, I guess that makes sense... I just figured that someone "ready" to go into a studio would have their shit together, and that they would have gear suitable to their profession... Well, that's ME anyway! Jimmy
