what's the main use of room mics anyway? I guessed it would be to capture some natural reverb of the whole kit but if you should only use them if you have a really good room then there won't be a noticeable amount of reverb?

which it does not ;)

Looks like you can't even buy that mic anymore, but mics aren't exactly like milk are they, if you treat them well they will stay good. (that was a bad analogy I know)

Yeah that is true actually, and makes perfect sense. you would think that the 58 would be better for the snare considering it is genuine but there's only one way to find out.

I have a mixer with 6 inputs but can only send 2 channels, so are you saying that if I can connect that mixer up as well then I can use an extra 2 mics? If so then I have no idea how I would hook it up.

right so I need some advice. When I am going to record drums I am going to have 2 overheads and a kick drum mic as well as others but what I am not sure about is the others. I have 2 toms and I was originally planning on putting these 2 pretty cheap tom mics I got with a drum mic set a while...

I personally only ever give feedback on songs that are of genres I like and listen to because then I can much more easily compare it professional recordings. If there is a drum and bass song, all I could really say is "yeah that sounds good" or "I don't think that sounds good".

I've learnt that there is a hell of a lot to learn, and had I known that as a beginner, and known how much money I would end up spending, I have no doubt I would have given up straight away.

One of these.

I use the tascam us-1800 with reaper and they work fine together and it took me less than an hour to get completely set up and ready to record :)

alright thanks, well either way the fan stand would make a good stand on its own so if it does make a lot of noise I could just turn it off. The design of i helps the air flow from underneath the laptop so obviously whether the fan is on or not it is going to help.

can't reply to your pm steen you have run out of storage!

that's better than me at the moment :)

ahh okay thanks

hahaa still I'm sure you have better treatment and equipment than me

okay awesome thanks :) Can't wait to set my studio up properly, then I will be able to take some pics that might be worth posting on the forum :) The main problem with the room I am in at the moment is that 2 of the walls are pretty much all glass. They do have big curtains that can cover them...

What is EMC? I swear I saw it said somewhere on here recently

I haven't actually pointed a mic at anything but I have noticed an increased buzz before. what would you do in my situation? is it worth getting a stand that doesn't have a fan or just not use the fan on the stand?

What might actually cause the interference?

the us1800 does feel like a sturdy thing and I think I'll be fine as long as I place things on there gently :)
