Minimal? I would say any SD omni in a great room.

Perhaps I missed it... but what ever happened to replacement ribbons for the last group buy? (And the shock mounts for the pencil condensors?) EDIT: NM, found it in this post: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=2885707&postcount=2638

I find it to have a bit of a bump around 120hz on snare... which can be good or bad. Great if you want that bit of punch on snare... maybe a cause of mud in a dense mix and I will low shelve it.

And use a pop filter. No... a plug in won't help during recording. You will have to use a hard ware compressor on the way in. A plug in only compresses after the signal has gotten into the computer. You want to prevent clipping before the signal hits the computer's audio interface. (Keep in...

This is an impossible question. You can compare A mic to another mic... but to compare an entire brand? Shure and AKG make so many different mics, you cannot make a blanket statement as to which is "better". Both companies make mics that are considered industry standards and are doing work horse...

Let's take a walk.... Two figure 8s in a coincident configuration turned 90 degrees to each other = Blumlein 1 figure 8 and 1 cardioid in a coincident configuration turned 90 degrees = M/S 2 cardioid in a coincident configuration turned 90 degrees = X/Y Dig?

Mackie Onyx 800R.... also has ADAT out.

Huh? Use a Jecklyn disk or space pair set up. Stereo heaven.... Of course XY won't work.

I find the drums, the room, and the player make the biggest difference over what mics are used. You can use damn near any dynamic for close micing and any condensor for OHs so long as those three things are done well.

Soloed, yes, they do sound "thinner" but in a mix they shine... Really. Try mixing live with a mix of those and 58s on stage at the same time... You'll be ready to toss the 58s in the junker.

Huh? I have an 800R and it weighs maybe 5 pounds. Any old Gator/SKB will do or a studio rack.

Can you ever REALLY capture the magic of bagpipes on any medium? :)

Yeah, it is sort of a silly argument. Digital has a few huge super big advantages to me: Plugins (want 10 gates, you can have 10 gates for little or no cost.) and ease of editing. No razor blades, no bouncing... Digital is just easy. Sound quality... well, I have yet to hear the difference as...

I think it rocks on bass cab too.

You can only buy Naiant mics direct. NOT SOLD IN ANY STORES! Go to the website and order one already. :)

I believe you are referring to the 3:1 rule. http://www.crownaudio.com/mic_web/tips/mictip6.htm

Gobos and baffles are your friends. :)

I have found the Furman PL-8 to be sort of the sweet spot. It isn't terribly expensive yet it does clean up nasties. I use them for both live and studio and it has saved my butt on numerous occasions taking out near by radio stations, buzzes, and other weirdness.

It is just different... and many times it is better than a condensor depending on the situation. As for pres... perhaps a GR ME-1NV, UA Solo 110, or the Chameleon Labs 7602... they are all decent transformer based solid state designs at reasonablish price points.

I have found the D6 to be incredible on bass cabs. As for kick... well, for damn near anything that is "modern" sounding (rock, country, pop, etc..) it is great. Jazz... well, it depends on the gig and the kit. However, the point I am more after is your latter one.... heck a 57 can work on kick...
