I'm always looking at extending my microphone cabinet, and instead of asking this and that, which I can read by using the search function, I'd thought I'd ask the question in a different way.
I'd like to know what mics you would use for the following applications, of the mics that you own. And, of course, why.
If you normally don't mic some of the applications because of lack of mics, or a preferred way of micing things, just ignore that one.
1. Male vocals
2. Female vocals
3. Acoustic guitar
4. Guitar amp
5. Guitar amp at distant
5. bass cab
6. Overhead drums
7. Kick, at beater
8. Kick, at soundhole or just outside
9. Snare, top
10. Snare, bottom
11. Toms, if miked spearately
12. Cymbals & hi-hat, if miked spearately.
13. Piano
14. Rap & spoken word
15. Room mic, for drums & other appl.
Feel free to add anything I left out.
