ok, all those names on the sure web site...
do you honestly think those drummers are acctually using that mic??? yea, so that means that mike portnoy is using sabian B8's too?? cuz he's endorsing them?? how about a market strategy. yea, sure, carmine apeice prolly used the sm57. somewhere. but not if he doesn;t have alan parson to fix the shit sound at the mixer.
magicians may make that mic sound good.
everyone here is right, i have so little knowledge of recording it's pathetic (hence my membership here) and i'll bet anything it's my ears and mixing and placing.
fenix, that punk recording is the best thing i've EVER heard from a 57. i'm impressed. the whole damn recording is really good too. it's radio sounding stuff. you signed?? with a recording like that you should be.
if theres some magical thing i'm missing about mic placement (how much leeway do you really have when placing a snare mic?? is there some special way to place it? i mean, you point the damn thing at the head. maybe angle it diffrently or raise it a little depending on ur taste, but it's as simple as that, right??) let me know.
i wanna hear these audix mics.
has anybody recorded with them???
and as far as mic pre's, i am using a <B>roland VS2480</B>. i have a feeling the pre's are built in and are pretty good. if anyone out there knows diffrent about the roland, like i'd have to buy pre's for the mics anyway, let me know.
god, i pray to you, show me someone who's recorded using these audix mics so i can determine wether they're just fancy mics or if they;re really as good as everyone makes em out to be.
Mike...
