This is what they do. The same guys internet fight over the same things every day.

However, the C1000 is my least favourite, most hated mic in the world. It's screechy and harsh at the top end--and I speak as somebody whose taste tends to run to bright mics. I've yet to find ANYTHING that sounds good on a C1000. My definition of hell was a few years back when somebody miked a violin with a C1000 and asked me to mix it!
I can really feel your pain on this one Bob.
Betting if there were to be a most unlikeable microphone poll posted here. We would get votes from people in the know that would put the AKG C1000 very close to the top - if not being the *all time most hated microphone in the world*.
MORE TO COME
I use a pair of C1000's on my overheads. I'm sure there are better mics, but they haven't ruined my drum sound either.

Thanx. At the same time, I must say that it's the only pair of overheads I've ever owned, so I have nothing to compare them to. I'm sure if I tried a "better" pair, I'd probably notice how much better my sound can be. Or maybe not. Who knows. The most I can do is make sure I'm giving them the best drum sound I can and let them do whatever they can.Well, I can vouch for that. Rami certainly pulls a good kit sound out of his system!

I would never take anything about my mics personally. The only thing I do with them is record.Just personal preferences about sounds...but it's nothing personal personal.![]()
Ask her if she wants to pick out a guitar amp for me...I'm looking to fill out some missing tone flavors.![]()
That might be about the best place for them....not too close up on any source, and I'm sure as OH mics, they pick up the high-end and that might work for your overall mix since you are also combining them with your spot mics...so the overall drum sound is a mix and not just those mics.
How about everyone just makes themselves happy with their own crap? I personally don't care to hear about others opinions when it comes to 'what is best'. There are to many variables (voice, range, talent, timbre, distance, room, time of day, drugs/alcohol, mic, pre, engineer, vodka, humidity, meds, dogs, money, ......and whether mom lets you make noise at 2AM).
It all smells like crap to me. Smell/sound/specs...all the same. No meaning in the real world.
What works for you, well, it worked for you.
Recommend sure, argue what is better? Nope, go be a candidate for elect. Then piss off.
Just sayin...
Well, I thought it was good.![]()
I'm just following the Steen & Moresound show around the forum to see what jokes get dropped.
