I'd pick the SP B1. Was the first mic I bought. I used it for everything at first, added more and more mics, but still use it for micing amps, drums, acoustic guitars and ocaisionally is still the right mic for vocals. Very useful mic for the price.

I'd say about 50% of my tracks I use none, 30% I use 1, and the other 20% I use 2 or 3. Very rarely if ever use more than 3.

Yeah, you're gonna need a pad if you don't have one on your pre. I didn't realize how much gain these things have so be careful when first testing it.

I use a beta 52 inside the hole about a foot from the beater and I made a subkick mic out of a 8-inch speaker that I use right up a few inches off the resonant head. I try to get the clicky, higher end sound off the beta and then just bring the low end up in the mix with the subkick mic. Works...

ADK AP-1 if you can find one used. The brick is good but not so great on vocals.

I just did a 10 song demo for a band that we tracked all in one take. I think it came out really good. A couple tips - keep instrument amps as low as possible, if possible go DI with bass or anything else you can, give the drummer headphones instead of a monitor, make sure the monitors aren't...

I think both clips sound very similar also. Question, are you running the Focusrite through the boards line input before recording? That might explain why they are somewhat similar. I also have a Tascam M320B. Great board btw. I've decided to re-cap mine since it's just a bit noisy. Just ordered...

I usually put mine real close facing the top rim at a slight angle pointing down. 10'oclock position is about right. I've never had much luck micing the bottom. 1 mic and a bit of ambient reverb usually sounds good to me.

I have 2 PR20's and just recently tracked a band all in one take for a demo cd. They didn't want to track vocals separate so we did 10 songs in one take each. They did a variety of music. Some acoustic and some heavier stuff. I was amazed how the mics performed on the vocals. Very little bleed...

I typically cut more than boost while eq'ing. Might be something to be aware of in the future. I know it doesn't help your situation now. I think if it were me I would just take all the track levels all the way down and start from scratch. Bring the drums up first and then bass, vocals, and...

I have the EX-29's and I really like them alot. I plan on picking up a few sets of the More-me's for a cheaper solution now that I have a 6 channel headphone amp.

+1 for the ADA8000. I use mine all the time for this purpose. It's ashame other companies haven't followed suit and used this design. Extremely useful. My ADA8000 works very well BTW.

Look for a used RME Multiface II. I picked up mine for under $500. Not exactly firewire but very stable and sounds one step above everything else in your price range.

ADK Vienna

I don't see how moving blankets would hurt anything. And I think the better the blanket (heavier), the more it would help. It certainly isn't a substitutute for good corner bass traps and panels but it would probably do well to cut down reflections on an untreated wall. I would probably double...

Sorry for the double post. Don't know how to delete it. :o

Ok, I have access to some of these office cubcle partitions. I was thinking about using them for a bit of isolation for around my drum kit. My studio is in one room and I'd like to just try to keep more of the bleed into the mics. Actually the overheads I'm using seem to be pretty good but the...

Michael, I'm not familiar with the Trident strip but I have racked a few PM1000's. I'd suggest re-capping those as well along with new transistors. There's alot of info on these on the Prodigy pro forums. No reason why a wooden case wouldn't work. You still need to ground the strips though. Also...

The eight channels of pres I run into my RME Multiface II. 2 channels Manley Langevin DVC, 2 channels ADK AP-1, 4 channels rebuilt Yamaha PM1000's (nothing beats them on drums :cool: ) Behringer ADA8000 on the bottom for additional channels.

As far as editing goes, I think Samplitude would be a program to look at seriously. The object editing mode is awesome. Download the demo and try it. I've used Cubase and Nuendo before and I know they don't have the capabilities for editing that Samplitude has. Never used Reaper or anything else...
