Awesome, thanks everyone for teh responses. Seems the way to go is with either a pair of NT5's or a pair of SM81's. Any clear differences in the sounds of these two mics? Im gonna be recording mainly rock typa stuff, some sorta heavier prog-rock-metal etc. Mainly heavier tunes, but mot full on...

Ok, well Ive done a few searches already and i cant find an answer. Im looking for some decent-priced overhead mics to mic up a drum kit. Something within the range of AU$300 - AU$400 each, thats about US$350 - US$450 each. I have ZERO idea where to start with overheads, I have my kick sorted...

Awesome thanks for that mate!

Hey everyone. I currently have a very basic 10in/10out DAW system, and am now looking into some serious gear to get recording local bands, and also get my own work down for demos. I have decided I am definitely going with analogue over digital, from what ive been reading its a trade off between...

THANKS!!!, thats been an extreme help to me, thanks a lot. ive still gotta read through the post again a few times to understand everything perfectly, but bassically get what ur saying. has anyone else got suggestions or thoughts on this?

see, this i what im talking about, please can somone help me out, any advice or anything.

Mainly gonna be doing rock music, and quite a bit of experimental type stuff, just trying to expiriment with music and sound. so would you reccommend using 4 to 6 mics and mixing the drums into 2 tracks on the multi tracker, or just using 2 or 3 mics. i dont think it would be that bad to mix all...

Anyone?, cmone, theere must be someon who knows what i mean.

hmmmm, im still lost. All i want to know is, how th hell am i sposed to record a rum kit using about 4 to 6 mics, if i can only record 2 tracks at once?, the only way i can think of it is to mix the mics into 2 tracks through the mixer and then record the drums as 2 tracks, am i right, or is it...

Just been looking at multi trackers and noticed that most of them(Boss, Fostex etc) only allow you to record about 2 tracks simultaniously, wont this be a problem for recording a drum kit which will require a track per mic, or do i just run the mics through the mixer and mix them to a single...

im in perth, not sydney, that does look like a really good recorder, but its WAY out of my budget, im looking at spend au$1500 to AU$2000 at the MOST on a recording unit. The mics i would be looking at are proly in the price rang of the NT-3, and i will only be using mics to record acoustic...

That sounds like a good idea actually, i also thought that buying individual mics would offer more flexibility for recording other stuff like acoustic guitar etc. So you would suggest getting some good mics and run them through pre-amps into the mixer and into the recording unit?, thats what i...

Anyone else....................anyone?

Thanks badgas for the very good response, its good when people give very thoughtful responses that actually mean something. Scott Mellish, thats bassically what my plan was, although i would proly still wanna go through the mixer (maybe the mixer could be the last purchase, as its not a...

Hi everyone, ive posted on this forum a while back about getting into home recording, but i never seemed to get anywhere, probably because i had a tiny budget (1 day a week job, with bad pay). Well, im still at school, but got myself a job as a driver for Domino's, and working 5 nights a week...

I have the PERFECT solution for you, well its perfect for me when im trying to learn a song, and with this method you can single out ANY instrument in ANY song, hehehe. Have you heard of a program called Guitar-Pro, if you havent, its a program you can buy(or d/load the demo n just keep...

So........ Hav i got the right idea now? Just need to know so i can start looking at brands and products soon. BTW, would i need acompressor to get better recordings(for acoustic guitar)because someone said earlier that they wouldnt use them for acoustic guitar, just wandering why not. Thanks...

Thanks Thanks A LOT GUYS! Especially Tom for his extremely helpfull post. OK, so, at the moment im getting the idea that i had the wrong idea and that my signal chain was too long and i was wasting money. So am i right in saying i should proly be loking at getting equipment based around the...
