the reason i want to do it is b/c i'm stereo micing an acoustic guitar w/ a stereo pair of mxl603s...again, i'm very very new at this, and i only have a one channel compressor. i'm not to worried about eq b/c i do all my eq on the computer...the mixer is just for inputs and preamps
Newb question:
Is it possible to connect my compressor to the aux send/return of my mixer and send more than 1 channel to it? assuming that i want to have the same ratio, etc. on all the channels.
Thanks!
I knew i was never suppose to use a normal LDC on a kick, not so much for the volume level, but the air pressure, however, i was under the impression the b1 had such a large spl that it was ok to use it on a kick...thanks for warning me about it before i do anymore damage to it.
good call on better stands...i do need to invest in some, or at least some sandbags...
In my experience, i've found that stores don't really care what happened to the mic, as long as you haven't had it for over a year. They just sent it back to the manufacturer and they don't lose any money...

"57 on kick...B1 4' above whole set...you really need more mics."
well i actually started another thread about this, but i guess i can talk about it here also. I do have more mics, which is why i asked to disregard the oh/toms/etc...but i'm ordering an atm25 for the kick and have the mxl603s...
thanks ausrock, these are great starting points to try out. I've heard the tunnel idea before, but have never tried it myself, i guess there's no time like the present
yeah, thanks guys, i'm definitely keeping mine now. One last question though, if you had a sp b1 and an sm57, which would you put on a kick and which one would you put on the snare, if those were the ONLY two mics you had? Disregard OH/toms/etc.
I have the following mics:
mxlv67
sp b1
sm57
on the way are:
stereo pair of mxl603s
I want to record a 5 piece drum setup that will be used in a mix of piano, drums, guitar, bass, and vox. I wanted to know the best configuration using these mics. I am ordering an ATM25 for the kick, but for...
Steve,
I really liked your idea about stereo micing my amp with the b1 and 57...if i very very very slightly offset the two, then pan hard left/right, it sounds like two different guitars playing the same thing and adds a degree of fullness to the mix.
oh, and btw, i use a v67g for vox, and...
i know everyone hates them here, but i have a behringer eurorack ub2442fxpro...the biggest of the ub series. It's great. for me at least...definitely nof for the seasoned pro, but its perfect for me. the pres are quiet with high headroom, if you don't use the built in effects (some people say...
i was in your situation a few weeks ago. I bought a 57 for my snare and an atm25 for the bass....got a couple of condensers (the mxl603s stereo pack goes for around $200...some people say it makes the cymbals sound too bright, but their perfect for me). I just wanted a semidecent sound, but i...
I picked one of these up today, mainly b/c every single person i've ever talked to told me it was essential to get one of these. Now, i'm not saying it's bad, but i'm actually not sure if i have a use for it. Right now i'm recording electric guitar, bass, drums, violin, and cello. For micing the...
Ok, forgive my ignorance, but i was wondering what it would take to connect all the individual direct outs on my mixer (10 of them) to, lets say a delta1010. the direct outs are 1/4in female and i think the delta's ins are RCA? not sure, have never used one. Also, if there is a soundcard...
is there any firewire interface that has 4 1/4in inputs? Basically, i'm looking for the maudio quattro in firewire form so i can get better quality (24bit, 96khz) I'm looking to spend under $500. Thanks!
thanks dwillis, you've been very helpful. I'm going to go the mac store and just fiddle around with both the iMac and iBook and see which one feels more comfortable. and you made a good point about the fanless iMac...that's going to be crucial as i don't have a separate control room. thanks again!
