I'm trying to get a bit more seperation from instruments and I am wondering if part of our problem at our studio is using SM57s and 58s so much.
They are great mics for sure (or shure, haha), but would different mics (multiple models and brands, not the same) yield better results?
Right now we have a Beta 52 for Kick, 57 for top of snare, 58 for bottom, Samson Co2s for overhead and QToms for toms. We want to upgrade the tom mics, but what to? What about the overheads? What would complement our current shure basis the best?
We use 57s and 58s for guitar cabs, and a M-Audio Luna for vox.
Budget is certainly an issue, and i'm sure you get these questions a lot.
I guess my main thing is, will using different brands and models help diversify the sound, but keep things in unison? We aren't getting bad mixes, but as I buy more mics, I want to know if staying the same will improve or hurt us? Should we get more 57s for the toms?
