hi, wasn't sure to put which section to put this in but i've got a few question's n im new 2 the game so hopefully this one's ok.....
k well basically i'm recording some track's for our band's demo these school holidays, and have pinched (with permission) some condenser mics from school to help with the kit. (the results from the last attempt using a single 57 and some cheapo dynamic on the kit can be heard on our site, www.myspace.com/verticleblinds)...
Anyways the mics I have are an AKG C100S, a shure 4.1, an audio technica 33A, and an sm 57......my question is does anyone know a great deal about these mics and if so, where would you place them when micing a kit. I know the best way is to experiment but i will only have restricted time to record the drums so any advice would be great, was thinking of: 57 on the snare, C100S in the kick, n the other two as overheads perhaps?
Also, (sorri so many question's i know i'm bound to get flamed ) what would be the best mic out of those to record vocals with?
edit: sorry, should have told some basic info about my setup.....i'm running mics through a behringer 1202fx, in2 line in stock standard soundcard in my p4, running adobe audition, and as i'm a student unfortunately i'm 'monitoring *cough* with multimedia speakers
sorry for the extremely long post, many thanks to anyone willing to give even the shortest responce
cheers
