    Guitar 'truths" that you believe are myths

    Mass/ geometry matters. And a MASSIVE point of diminishing returns. What matters. Mass, a more resonate base structure and more than anything pickups

    Shure's SM-7b..

    i like em. Not the Holy Grail of dynamic mics but I like it. I Like an MD-441 better on vocals, especially in a band context

    Hybrid Recording and Mixing: Simultaneous ITB and OTB via Interface and Analogue mixer

    I track with individual mic preamps to an Alesis HD24, then later transfer that to Reaper/computer for editing. Then playback thru a MOTU 828es, then back out thru the HD24 to a Tascam M-3500 for mixing. I can use plugins and hardware side by side in real time. Pretty cool.

    Down and dirty recording a live jam

    Seven on drums, one on guitar and three vocal mics. Then One bass and two keys DI inputs for a total of 13. At the low end (cost wise) a Behringer 1820 withan ADA 8000 yields 16 decent inputs

    Down and dirty recording a live jam

    I basically just tight mic up everything and hit record. In some instances, I used floor monitors and no headphones and just went with it. Not bad result but no punch ins as bleed would give that away. For the most part I got everyone comfortable with headphones, put my amp in another room, bass...

    Mics and Rooms- sensitivity?

    Won't help anyone in an apartment but in my walk in basement I built a room within a room. The ONLY way I've personally found to keep me from bothering the neighbors and the neighbors from bothering me. It works
