Do I just use a Y-connector to hook up the L and R main outs to the line/mic in on my 4-Track?

Well, James had his cabs set up in 3 different rooms, that's why he had 8 mics on them.

I am a huge Metallica fan and I am interested in their recording techniques, I heard that James uses 8 mics on his guitar cabs. Does anyone know anything about Metallica's recordings?

I have a Behringer Mx602 6-channel mixer and an MF-P01 Tascam 4-Track recorder. The four track just has a line/mic input. The mixer has Left and Right main outs, a heaphone out, and an rca output. Right now I am using the phones output and a balanced cable to plug it in. Is this connection okay?

I have a 6-channel mixer, if I hook up a graphic eq. to the tape loop, will it work okay? The sm-57, ecm8000's, and pro25 work awesome. Haven't used them with drums yet though.

Thanks, some people buy expensive things for their cars, some buy collectables. But for me, the first time I played guitar (5yrs ago) I knew that was it. No question about it. When I recently got a 4-Track machine, I had to learn everything about it, I am still in that long, complicated...

I ordered some awesome stuff today from 8th street. MY FIRST SM-57, 2 ECM8000's, AT PRO25 kick mic, cables and stands, and a behringer mixer. I think I have entered a new phase, much more exciting phase of recording. I returned my Radio Shack omni's and am ready to get all of this cool stuff...

Thanks, that sounds good. Will all these mics and a mixer satisfy me? Also, I just saw an ad for drum mic packages, like 7 nady mics for $200 you know the kind that clip on to the drums? Are these any count?

I am getting new mics thanks to everyone's harsh criticism of my "crappy mics", which is better ECM's or SM-57's for drums? I know the SM-57 is better for bass guitar, and guitar and vocals.

My budget will be about $390. I want to record drums seperate then two guitars (rhythm), then the bass, then the vocals and solos. Now all I have is two cheap radio shack omni's and a cheap dynamic mic. I really want that up close tight in your face sound, I need to order soon. I won't use...

I am about to pick up some cash soon and I am going to spend it all on recording gear. This is what I plan to record... Guitars-Lead, and 2 Rhythms Bass Drums-Floor tom, 2 front toms, snare, ride cymbal, crash, bass, hi-hat Vocals-Lead, Backup I have a Mf-P01 and I do not want another recorder...

What does an "overhead mic" refer to. I don't know the exact placement to put them in.

When you hear someone play drums on a CD, is that finalized sound the actual sound of their drums, or is it all processed through effects?

Okay, these aren't your dream mics, but it'll work for me... A Kustom $40 mic (Dynamic). (2) Radio Shack 330-3030 Omnidirectional Microphones $25 each.

I just bought two more mics in addition to my one dynamic mic. They are omnidirectional's. I run them all at equal levels straight into my 4-Track. I am wanting to record drums, snare, bass, floor tom, 2 front toms, crash cymbal, and hi-hat. I am in a small room with concrete walls. Where...

No, there would be no crowd while recording. If we tried playing in a 30' X 12' room, with insulated walls, two windows, three doors, would this produce a good sound?

No, see I want to get another mic and see if it'll make a difference.

Let me make sure I have this right... Recording is an art more so than a science. There are no parameters, no guidelines, whatever satisfies you is cool. You can make your setup as simple as a guitar and an old tape recorder, or (without getting into too much detail) ADats, Digital Recorders...

To be honest, what I have been playing around with is a $40 mic and a custom pre-amp and my MF-P01, and it doesn't sound bad! All I think I need is another mic to spread the sound out better.

The room is huge, it is a warehouse probably 25,000 square feet. Every instrument is pretty well defined. We'll have to lay off the distortion on the guitars a little for better definition. The mics are standard dynamic omnidirectional. The arrangements are fairly tight. It will take...
