is there a difference between the mc012 and mc012-01??? i can't figure it out...

the akg solid tube?? i don't know to much about high quality mics either, but would you consider maybe a akg solid tube mic?? I have used them numerous times in studio projects and for my own band and they work good for room mics on drums, acoustic guitars, many room things for whatever...

well.... well its not as good of an isolation as you might think. It will do a fairly decent job at making sure no sound is recorded from a source behind the mic, but infront it doesn't pick whatever you aim it at. If you place the mic as an overhead and point it right inbetween your...

yeah.... ha... well i realized that was really a newbie question and knew what responses i would get.... but i figured i might try it anyway... I never have a problem with guitar tracks except my own for my band. I never can get it quite how "I" want it. Its always too much disortion, or...

damn... ok, well i guess i figured it kinda sucked being it was 150 bucks... haha. Oh well...

ok bascially i want to know how all of you on here record your electric guitar tracks. For both clean and disorted that is... I have been having a bit of trouble and i want to see what others are doing and work off of that. So please discuss all the things in the signal path you use and what...

can any one tell me from experiece or just from hearing about it from others how the BlueTUBE Stereo Microphone Preamp from PreSonus is??? It is onlly like $150 and i need a tube pre-amp... its dual channel too! If it does suck can anyone please suggest to me another good pre-amp that is...

toms... well.. bascially toms are just in how you mic em. (duhh... haha) anyway, closer you are more attack, farther away more room sound. so that part is quiet easy. Now your room clearly will make a big difference too.... to be honest i don't think an sm57 is that bad of a mic. for toms...

thanks..... ok well in response to further questions..... the drum is in the same room/temp and conditions, i do realize how a drum sound is affected by the material. That is kinda obvious, just by having played/heard different sounds, i do use compression on my mixes, but right now i am just...

the deal... well first thanks for the article, i was reading it over and it will take some time, but i'm sure that will help. I figured that i would let everyone know in better detail what i have then.... First is an evans dry head, and the resonant is a evans something... (sorry i don't...

ok, i'm not a drummer, and i don't know a lot about the tuning of drums. I can get by just fine when i do the kick and toms, but the snare i can never get it to sound "right" I am going for a more rock sound with a lot of snap, and not a lot of tone. Can someone help me out with this. And...

hmm... well here is my take on this whole thing... You all are a bunch or recording engineers/have some experience with what sounds you like. So metallica has been around for like 20 years, they are probably really bored with what they are doing by now. Being they have done almost the same...

Re: Re: compression question when you said you shouldn't limit your options, wouldn't adding compression/effects on the track before the mix down be limiting your options?? Because then if you want it dry later, your kinda screwed... Oh and i'm not trying to be a smart ass here, i know you...

well.... with a good enough pre-amp and a good bass i normally don't mic it but go in direct. You can also try doing a combo of direct/mic. Sometimes i will use a d112 in the port of a cab and then direct too. It works sometimes and others not, but it doesn't hurt to have the extra...

tons of stuff... I will just list off some stuff i think a good engineer should have/be... they need to be patient have a great ear for not only mixing, but for pitch and dynamics they should have a very creative mind. I believe any engineer should be able to act as a producer too! they must...

wow i'm amazed at those articles on there. They are very good! thanks for posting that up!

finally.... i was waiting to read jimmy chamberlins name there... I was suprised it wasn't on anyone else's list. Oh well... But if i could pick a drummer for my band, jimmy would be the one for sure!!

Re: Re: not so good... well bascially i just don't like it that much. I guess its "ok" for like 200 bucks or whatever, but it wasn't worth my money. I'm pretty sure if you have an excelnet pre-amp you could get by with it, but from what i have heard from it, it sucks... And yes it was the...

any overhead condensers for 300 or less that will give me decent quality?? Thanks...

not so good... that mic. actually kinda sucks. Like everything about it and the specs. sounds great, but i own one and the only thing you can really use it for is softer vocals. I'm not sure if i just got a faulty version, but it doesn't handel spls worth shit. It is fairly clear and does...
