Members average number of mics and a list...

[andycerrone]

Whoops! That's the Radio Shack version of the Studio Projects C1.

Haha, awesome.

 

[ecktronic]

We have a number of cheap vocal mics for vox at practice.
We have a Beta 52a bass mic which we use for almost everything! Tom samples, bass guitar, guitar! Nice warm fat sounding mic. Best buy we have got.
we have a few AKG mics we use for overheads, and a couple of Shure MKII (look like SM57s)
Oops, I think we have about 10 mics, but only a few are even usuable for recording! I know what I want from Santa.

Just starting out, my favorite mic so far is the sennheiser md 421 on kick/snare/amps and vocals...the ribbon is nice for room and vocals too

Microphones:
Sennheiser MD 421 (2)
Philips EL 6011
Philips condenser electret N8410 (2)
T. Bone RB500 Ribbon Microphone
Crappy Dynamics/crystals (many)
AKG DX 11 with built in spring reverb (“1963: The DX 11 reverb microphone is an innovative idea which, however, is not accepted by the market. This is one of the few flops in AKG's history of success.”)

[tubedude]

Wow, 4 years and going still. Huge thread. And still I only have 11 rep power. What does that mean anyway? When I was really active on the board there was no such thing.
My list has changed considerably though.

I noticed both you guys have Oktavas. Have you had them modded? I have a Octavamod 219 thats pretty damned nice. I havent had the chance to really put it to the test, but so far it seems very smooth.

I have an Oktavmodded PE 219 that I've gotten to use on a couple of recordings. Very smooth indeed. One of my best gear purchases ever I'd have to say!

I have not had mine modded; I was planning on it a few years ago, when I first heard there was a mod, but times got tougher, and money went to food. I have since mostly forgotten about the 219
