    Does anybody add close mics when using Recorderman or Glyn Johns?

    I've gone nuts a couple times and used the Recorderman method with close mics on everything including snare bottom and a room mic in front of the kit. But that was only to see how it sounded... which was good btw :)

    new to tape - questions about 16 trackers

    I've owned 1/4" 8 tracks and 1/2" 16 tracks. I really think they sound great especially on drums and well pretty much everything else :) But I don't mind stuff sounding lo-fi that much. I use Pro Tools HD at times now and it does have better sound quality than 1/2" 16 track. From a fidelity...

    Drumagog Users? Maybe you can answer my question..

    Excactly. You can use gates and stuff if you please. Expieriementing with placement is a fun part of recording. I've tried drumagog and it is actually pretty fun to mess around with, but it feels like "auto tune for drums" sorta. What's really neat is getting sounds that are totally different .

    GLS Audio ES-57

    I've used em on snare with limited sucess. I think maybe it has more gain than a real sm57?? On amps if its clean they sound fine, but distorted they end up sounding worse. I mainly pull one out if there is no other mic available and someone needs to do a guide vocal or something. They are a...

    Do you HAVE to record drums first?

    Ick, everytime I've recorded someone who wants to do drums last I kinda cringe. The drums don't "breathe" in the song usually... I've only heard a few people do it and have it sound alright.

    Mic choice for disotorted guitars

    e609 works for my havy big muff sounding stuff. I like the e609 condensor combo aswell the condensor could be anything from an AT 4033, Pro37 or whatever. I like using my 57 on clean guitars more though. But to each his own.

    Where to buy SP mics?

    I've used the C1 for vocals and it works really well. Everyone who I've recorded using it loves how clear their voice sounds. I've also used it as a room mic on drums with exceptional results.

    Tom Mics (200 budget)

    Maybe itll hep if i tell what kinda kit I use. Tama Rockstar. Aquarian Superkick II. Aquarian Poswehouse snare. And Aquarian performance II tom heads and all Zildjian A Cusom cymbals. I just don't feel my toms are sounding as good as they could.
