    I can actually be excused from the rush fan camp as I live in canada but Im from Oz, I actually thought Getty was of the feminine persuasion until I saw a live video of one of their concerts......a little shocked I was. Was supremely impressed by the drummer though.

    Stupid Shure Questions

    Decided to take this problem into the lab. I found a blue rubber band (the ones that hold broccoli together) and put it around my neck, 20 minutes later my head swelled to double its normal size and turned blue. Duplicating this experiment with a 57 I found that after 20 mins the head of the 57...

    SM57, how long to warm up?

    Herein lies one of the great problems of the cold 57 phenomenom. Most people who use the rectum for warming the SM57 dont realise that the 57 wont perform at its optimum at anal temperature. Inside the orifice the temperature holds at about 96.4 degrees . This is simply too warm for the Sm57...

    Subtract 57 from 58....not too difficult.

    3 mic setup

    MXL604's as o/h and a audix d6 on the kick. I've tried xy o/h and also the two drumsticks distance off the snare and two drumsticks distance behind the shoulder tecnique (as covered in the popular thread in this forum) and the latter picks up the snare better as it is facing straight down.

    SM57, how long to warm up?

    Agreed on all accounts except one. The sm57 is indeed a 3 'phase' mic, but that in fact is just a bastardization of the english language. Originally the mic was known as a 3 'Fays' mic as it was used by Fay Dunaway, Fay Donahue and the recently deceased Fay Jackson.

    Updated: My 2003 Pearl Export EX (pics + recording)

    Superb! I actually uttered the word 'whoa' when I heard it I want that snare sound. Really nice balance in the mix. Also interested in your kick mic

    3 mic setup

    I'm using 3 mics to record drums, stereo o/h, and a kick mic. It all sounds pretty good but just wondering what I can do to the snare to beef it up without upsetting the rest of the stuff in the o/h's. Dont have capacity to close mic the snare at the moment but hopefully that will change soon...

    SM57, how long to warm up?

    If he was using a 58 that would be a prob, the metal grill and all, but the 57 has the plastic cap so that you can plug it into 220v, place it to your lips for the proximity effect and no prob with shock.....your vocalist must have been barefoot at the time and standing in the tub.

    SM57, how long to warm up?

    Now there was the quintessential quality piece of arsenal. My Combat rifle had the original rat a tat tat plastic gun sound and it lasted for ages. Not like the ones you get today. I was devastated when it lost its sound. Kind of like I felt after I had my vasectomy The helmet had the netting...

    SM57, how long to warm up?

    The SM57 is the same size as your car's cigarette lighter, after your cell phone is charged up, pull out the charger and simply insert the 'xlr' end of the mic. Ive been warming my mics up like this for years, I just assumed this was common knowledge...but maybe not. I find that after about 200...

    v drums or persevere with live drums

    I know what u mean. I used the td10 for recording most of my songs , I found it very convenient and overall the sound was great. The cymbal sound was a constant headache, but not only the sound the inconsistency of all the cymbals and the drums, sometimes too loud sometimes too soft. But in...
