Oh, god, the Contextual Police have spoken.

You'd better get on to our David asap, before he inadvertently releases a line of crap microphones with overly thick ribbons.

I'd probably go with the one condenser as your overhead, 58 on kick and snare repectively, 58 between two toms, 58 on gtr cab. If there is one, use the bass cab's DI out. Vocals as an overdub last (with the condenser). Other suggestions may well work better though. You have phantom power, of...

Meaning the mic and cable?

On the contrary - the slower machine should be the Master, to avoid it starting playback before the Slave can catch up. Excellent advice otherwise.

No problem at all. What's your board btw? Even if you're recording on only 16 tracks, you can still use the remaining 8 for copying over to (for editing purposes) later. The HD24 is a really nice machine. I've had about 3 instances of glitches occuring during editing, otherwise, it's flawless.

Well, he's got 'an old dynamic mic,' and that's it. I think an SPL TD at this juncture is pushing his budget and expectations a bit!

I'll second the TC M300. Dead easy to tweak, decent sounding.

...makes perfect marketing to me.

....and the EQ is approaching useless.

When it comes to quick string changes live, locking tuners are your best friend! I had Sperzel locking tuners on my previous Strat, and they were smooth as butter.

Me neither. I'm buggered if I'm going to do the one-string-at-a-time thing. And I enjoy running a big fat pair of cutters through the old strings, too - facilitates easy removal. Any short term tuning problems will be the new strings stretching and settling in.

Had me confused for a while there, too.

Therefore, "Dunno." ;)

Something dead easy to fly and will net you perfectly good results for your purposes would be the following, which leaves you some cash for microphones, cables, stands, etc. Adats are a bit of a pot shot, admittedly, but providing it's been looked after, they are fine: Tascam mixer...

Soundcraft 6000 24:16:2 - its patchbay is just amazing - I've found a way to insert a parametric EQ between the coffee maker and the TV for the most perfectly balanced, hi-definition cappucino you've ever tasted.

In other words, "Dunno."

Fantastic info all round - thanks very much everyone.

I'm trying to source blank enclosures for rack component projects; anyone know of any manufacturers? Dimensions (approx): 19" x 1U x 3 or 4" deep.

Interesting, I've never heard that approach before. I'll try it some time. Thanks, something new to try.
