    using the famous sm57

    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.

    Question for Harvey, (or anyone who knows)

    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...

    using the famous sm57

    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.

    using the famous sm57

    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 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...

    using the famous sm57

    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...

    newbie question

    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...

    mac computer advice

    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!
