I love that kick sound on Airscrewed. Very "And Justice for All", thats a hard sound to achieve. Very professional performance, almost flawless. Would you mind posting the gear/mics/etc you used to record this? Very nice.

Hm, well it sounds like using impulse responses is a somewhat disputed subject, so I'll look into it further. Sweetnubs, so, to answer my question, would you say that despite the scientific impossibility of reliably comparing or reviewing microphones, after gaining a sufficient amount of...

The percussion is a little rough, but I actually liked the song itself. Actually now that it goes on I really I like it. Tame that percussion in the verse and I'd say you got something here. When I refer to the percussion I'm mainly talking about whatever you are putting on the 2 and 4 of the...

I dont think I have ever heard of the impulse response you refer to, it sounds very interesting. Is there any literature/internet reading you could point me to that would go into more depth on this? Perhaps this is the kind of standard that could create a standard that minimizes subjectivity...

Thank you for replying. I do see the point you are making. Although I think this brings up a deeper issue that has been brought up before. If a review holds no validity to the reader excepting that the reader knows "something about the skills/capabilities/critical ears of the person offering the...

These are surprising for just a couple sm58s. Really tight performance, I like your style. :)

"Silent Opposition", eheh. Kind of sounds like the politically correct version of "Quiet Riot". Sorry, I'm not trying to insult, just tickled my funny bone. ;) Relating to the kick/bass relationship, I really don't hear much definition of the kick. It might come up a little bit in level, but...

First of all, I am not trying to say I know more than you, or am more qualified to comment on this issue, because I am not. I am fairly new to recording, and realize you have quite a bit of experience in the field, but perhaps you could help me to better understand some things. As I mentioned...

Well its no wonder they told you that the mic that just happen to have in stock, that they could make a sale on that day, was better than what you were looking for. Don't let this discourage you, if a C4 is really what you want.

Or, you can listen to actual recordings/samples where a particular mic is used to get another idea of how a mic could sound. I've compiled a short list of the major mic recordings here

You can listen to 3 different mic tests with the C1 in this thread. Just use your browser's "find" function to find the three instances in which they are used.

It seems that the most common reason people come to this forum to is to find information relating to what mic is best, what would best fit their situation, what preamp would sound best with what mic, what mic sounds good for vocals and acoustic guitar, and how a mic sounds compared to another...

Seriously, thanks a bunch taylorguitarman, this is really helpful. I'm about to make purchase at least 2 of the mics you recorded, so it helps a lot.

Just buy a $5 beater boom stand and defile as needed to achieve the "I don't care how my mic stand looks" look.

On a totally unrelated note -- holy crap tmix! That 12 year old girl is amazing! Great recording.

Ok, thanks Michael. Oh and I wasn't being sarcastic about the research comment, I really was ignorant :). Thanks for your advice. As I'm not able to do any serious modifications to my garage nor am I financially equipped to purchase pre-made acoustic treatments I think I may just have to use...

Wow. I think I'll save that project for after I manage to solder my first 1/4" instrument cable. :)

How can you be so naive? They don't. You ever heard of Tiananmen Square? A student getting crushed by a tank for protesting? To this day, people protesting at that square get sent to labor camps where they are forced to work 18 hour shifts, get stabbed with scissors and have bricks thrown at...

I'd also be interested in finding some decent and relatively inexpensive triggers. Anyone have any other suggestions?
