so the first was recorded with the sm-57? that one had great sound i think! How did you mic that up?
Thanks for listening. The first one was a combo of the cheapest, decent mics. I got one from reading threads here for 3 weeks. I had an sm-57 and 58 for years. been recording with the 57 mostly. Then I got
the MR8 and it's cd qual dig. so I wanted a better mic, or at least one with a wider freq. range.
I wanted to try a condensor mic, and i figured i'd get one with the least personality so i could figure out what it really sounded like from the beginning, and luckily enough, it was darn cheap. I got the ECM8000. but it needs phantom power, my mixers have none, so i had to get the power supply, but for a few bucks more you can get one built-in to your outboard preamp. so those weeks of reading i also read up on preamps. I got a single channel Art V3. for $120 and the ecm. but for stereo, i was stuck. So i just used a near and far mic setup and panned the mics onto each side.
to balance it out, for the solo dub, i did the same exact thing, but i panned the opposite way. 57 on left for rhy. track and 57 on right for solo. For levels of the dub part on each side, i just adjusted the level of the side of the track, not the pan. So i hard panned, but used the levels to adjust the amount of the instrument on that side. so my panning efectively was done with the faders. hard to explain, but easy to do.
cheap mics, cheap preamp, sick cheapo digital studio, cheap way to got to cdr, just downloaded to cheapo pentium 133 pc from 1995 xfer to a win 98 pc celeron 400 also cheap, to a $56 cdrw drive from computer show, cheap. I converted the .wav to .mp3 with shareware program CDEX. -free...
