Check out the blue tube, it's *decent* for the money and when you start getting better gear it will still be useful for some instruments.

I'd say go ahead and remix it because you certainly won't be happy with it if you don't. The first album I did (for a local songwriter/guitarist) sounded pretty good, but now I listen to it and they're are things that I wish I would have done differently! And of course that's 1,000 copies...

Never played one, never heard one (that I know of?) But here are some reviews on it... http://www.harmony-central.com/Synth/Data/Roland/XP-10-01.html

According to "modern recording techniques".... 90 db SPL is about as loud as a subway. Here's the whole run down of SPL's... 60-conversation 70-restaurant 80-busy street 90-subway 100-factory 110-dance club 120-band practice 130-jack hammer, rock concert 140-gunshot 150-jet take-off...

Looks like it'll be right around $4100. The new roland vs2480 looks good too (about $3599.) Just gotta wait for those prices to go down... :(

Yeah, I'd say definitly go with the SM58 if your doing punk! If you were playing *softer* music then you might be able to get away with a SD condenser (which would also be great as a drum overhead for recording.) The 58 isn't necessarily ideal for an overhead...but could work.

...By the way, what type of music are you playing? That could be a factor too.

oops!!! Sorry about that. I missed the "live" part!!! If that's the case I would go with the 58. Some people do actually use condensers for live vocals though (usually small-diaphragm.)

How about the Nady SCM900...Hey, you said decent (cheap!) It's the same price as a 58, but sounds a little fuller...... .......oops did I say that..... :) I suppose it really depends on your budget. For $50-100 more you could get better mic (obviously). Keep phantom power in mind if you go...

Ummmmm.... Not to be a jerk or anything but...the title of this discussion forum is Mixing/Mastering....you'll probably find a lot here. Use the search function in the upper right corner. A good book to check out is "Modern Recording Techniques."

The bass roll-off feature on mics, just as you guessed, reduces bass. For instance, to take the boominess out of an acoustic guitar. A pop-filter reduces plosives...the popping sound when you say "p" or "b".

Sm57- *THE* mic for acoustic guitars????? I don't know about that. Check out the AKG C1000s ($200.) This mic is good for acoustic guitars as well as many other things.

...and possibly angled inward so that the tweets hit you right in your ears.

I currently own an AT 4033, 2 SCM 900's, 2 SM57's, and 3 Shure unidyne B's. I will mainly be using it for drums and standup bass. By "beat to hell" I mean it's a little scuffed up on the casing, the black paint on the grille is wearing off and the grille has a dent in it. It's not necessarily...

What would you spend $100 on... a brand new SM57 (with a few bucks leftover) or a used (that is WELL USED) Senn. MD 421? Although the 421 is beat to hell it still works like a charm, so that is probably what I'll go for....or should I not for some reason? Let me know.

I live in the Helen area, but my brother lives in Athens. I might be moving there in about 6 months.

OT...where are you in GA, Jim?

yep, wav is good

Well you're absolutly right Mr. Sly (the search function doesn't work like it use to...) Here's the deal, I wouldn't get the SCM900 as an "all-around" mic. You would be much better off with a Rode Nt-1 or one of the AT-models. One of the most important things in a recording setup (and some would...

Do a search (it's in the upper right hand corner.) Also, what will you be using it for? What other mics do you own?
