    micing acoustic piano in living room

    Daveo,I'm wondering if you really need to use the 58.Your other mics are of a high quality and given their reputations and controled nature of the recording session,you might end up not keeping the 58's results due to the "color" it brings,being a dynamic,See what the 58 brings to the table...

    PZM Microphones

    ok, the secret is out,look out ebay. In truth, they are a nice mic. I used one 8 years ago and I was impressed that this mic that said "realistic or radio shack" sounded so good.

    effects loop w/ p.s. 246

    Monk,I never used my 246's effect sends,I bought mine so I could play tapes from my old 424.I like the 246 way better and have recorded on it but did'nt use those. my guess is that if you pan 5 and 6 hard either way,the music will be assigned accordingly.5 odd= tracks 1 or 3 6 even = 2 or 4

    Vocals on a SM81

    Sure! it's easy to moan about the gear we don't have,but in most cases,it's preety amazing what we can do with the gear we have. I did a demo,We used the best mic we had for the vocals we had, a shure BG4.1,Probably similar to yours,it worked fine
