I bought some behringer ecm 8000s...around christmas time when we were all buying them...I haven't had a chance to use them until now...I usually only record vocals at my studio, drums and heavy miiking are done elsewhere.
So we setup the stereo set of ecm 8000s in my bands rehearsal space...I planned on using them just for stereo recordings of practices to remember new material or sending raw demos to someone whos going to be producing stuff soon.
They sound terrible!
The room sounds good....acousticall treated....bass traps, some foam, diffusers etc.
For some reason the cymbals and kick are totally distorting...I'm using an audio buddy....not peaking on that and not peaking going to the computer....If i turn the gain WAY down there's no peaking but then again the signal level is terrible.
Just to test we swapped them with 2 sm58s and the sound was MUCH better.
Is it just that we're louder than the mics max spl? I tested them with drums alone and still the same...I thought you could use them for ohs?
Any ideas??? please help
oh yeah before trying the sm58s i tried my c1 and it sounded like ass too. i thought a condenser as a room mic in the back works well?
