That SMART guy.
I will be recording a demo soon for a rock band, style The Who etc... The recordings will be made life,no isolated rooms, for drums, guitar and bass at once. The rest will be overdubbed.

I will have a whole set of dynamic mics available, and one AKG3000C. So which instrument/part do I use it for? Other tips for doing this? There will be alot of crosstalk from the guitars and bass on the drum mics...

Thanks.
 
Put your dynamic mics on the guitar cabs (bass try going direct to tape), kick, snare and toms and use the C-3000 as a mono drum overhead. When you do your overdubs, use the C-3000 for youur vocals.
 
Cool, that's about what I planned to do.

Now, where do you position it best for mono overhead? Is this above the drummers head?

And some more detailed questions. I've got 8 simultanious rec tracks. Two for guitars (2 amps...), one for bass, this leaves 5 for drums. One kick, one snare, one overhead.

Two left. We still have 1 or 2 toms, floor-tom and hihat... One could cover the toms, one for floor tom... Hmmm...

I could however make a sub-mix with my (behringer) MX1204 mixer. We hire the mics, so the number of dynamics doesn't matter. Is this a good idea? Toms in the submix? Better not use EQ in this, right?
 
And itz usually refered to as "live" opposed to life, but U can say however U want, just pointin that out
