Greetings fellow homereccers! First, let me thank those that have commented on the FAQ! If you haven't seen it recently, check it out! http://www.hr-faq.org There is a lot of good information up, as well as a mic database, where you can search for mics built for a particular budget or built by...

Check here: http://www.hr-faq.org everything you need to know about overheads. Read the drum section first in 'microphone purchasing', and when you have a list of potential mics, see what opinions are in the 'mic specifics' section. Good luck! -Graham D.

Dethska, your quotes are now up! Good job, a couple of new ones besides the ones I already had :D junplugged, thanks for takin' a look! It's true: new mics CAN improve your sound, but practicing your instruments or mastering mic placement WILL improve your sound. So far, the FAQ is all about...

Dethska - I received the email, but no quotes. Try again I guess, and if that doesn't work try putting the quotes in the body of the email. If you're looking for more, though (or anyone else...): MICS: Neumann anything (TLM-103 especially) AKG D112 Behringer B1 (to keep newbs away) MXL2001...

Thanks to everyone who thinks the FAQ rules. :D Aren those mics are now up BTW. Oh, and almost forgot...VOLUNTEERS PLEASE!

Oh man...sorry Dethska. Sennheiser mics were down for a while, and I only put them back up recently. I'm thinking maybe of starting a new thread to get some attention for this thing. A week ago it was a single page, and now its a full-fledged mic database...man I've got a lot of free time...

Re: MXL 1006/V63/V57 No problem. I'll have those up by tonight. Thanks Rev E! I fixed that right up, and I'm glad you like it. Thanks Dethska. I'll PM Tekker and see what he says. Heh now you see how much fun this has been! Kudos to you and Mark7 for your searching. For certain mics...

Preamps aren't a bad idea Malcolm - but there is much to do first: -More on individual mics -Then some on mic placement -THEN preamps BTW...still looking for help here...I won't be able to finish everything myself, and I can't do this for hours at a time in a couple of weeks. So far Mark7...

Boy that's good... Gee, this could be a phenomenon Buck62! Your next novel: "Number One Best Seller" Your next CD: "Quintuple Platinum"

I'm on it! Just searched the big thread, and lo and behold: I'll stick that in real soon! EDIT: Also, does anyone know who compiled the 'big thread' into that word file? I want to give credit where it's due.

Sorry Fab4ever, I put in a new (searchable) database system and not all the mics are in yet...should be done by tonight.

I'm glad you're independently wealthy...but why bother posting about your new equipment here if you already bought it? You're just making me jealous...:D

Another believer! Thanks mwarkentin! Not only am I polishing up my MYSQL/PHP skills, I'm learning about mics and helping out! Hell yeah.

That is now the plan. Main groups Dynamic, LD, SD, Ribbon, and subgroups for those of the technical persuasion.

Dethska, you're right. The focus should be the newbie - I forgot that for a minute! That's a good plan you got there: LD(MD) SD DYN RIB And I'll mention stuff like backplate/moving coil afterwards. OH, and as for Senn models, It'd be best to get every model that's mentioned often on the...

thanks cominginsecond! The reason I started to doubt the original system was the CAD E100 - I was kind of confused as to where to place it, because I wasn't sure on the technical size of the diaphragm, as it isn't posted anywhere on the CAD site. Maybe it qualifies as a medium diaphragm? It...

Not bad...maybe: Side Address Condenser -Electret -Capacitor Endfire Condenser -Electret -Capacitor Dynamic -Moving Coil -Ribbon What'da think?

I see you've already got a response...whups! Well, second opinions can't hurt. I agree with word play, though, don't think of the 24 bit as a necessary purchase.

Kevlar: First, thanks for reading the FAQ! :D I'm working on getting some mic setup info on the FAQ, but don't feel bad for posting. Think of the FAQ as a resource rather than a reason for seasoned forum members to flame you. :) A preamp will help tremendously over plugging the mic directly...

Need some advice here... How do you guys think I should sort the microphones on the FAQ search? Right now I have: Dynamic LD Condenser SD Condenser Ribbon But I'm not sure this is the best way to sort...so I went to 8th street. They do it like this: Vocal Condensers Instrument Condensers...
