alot of cleaning. fall leaning, i guess. dusting knooks and crannies, organizing stuff, cleaning cable runs, etc.... and my 72 yamaha at1

so, this is what ive been up to. nothing special

lots of cheap mics, an old soundworkshop, and lots of spring reverb. enjoy!

i dont get it...

an update, here. the pe588 has a dead capsule, the pg81 still sounds a bit funky, im planing on having them sent off to shure soon to re repaired. and im searching around to find somebody in town who has a mk012 to test weather its the capsule, or the body. the signal chain is mic, cable, sound work...

im positive its not my console. my console is in impeckable condition (for a change!)

update:

i have the mk012 in a zip lock baggie with a couple of those dehumidifier packet things. fingers crossed i can at least salvage 1 of these mics.

ok, calmed down some...

i have ALWAYS semi struggled with drums. be it close micing them, or a ton of different methods of minimal approaches, its always just felt forced to me, ive never gotten the real sound i was after. i always relied on TONS of eq,reverb, and compression. so, the other night, i remembered i had these ...

just picked up a shure pe588 from a friend. not sure what to use it for just yet outside of an extra vocal mic at practice, but im going to start playing around with it soon. also this old altstatic dynamic, looks like its from an old schools public address system, or something. got a crazy, gritty,...

im also more on the hallway side of the junk. i mean... it goes on for DAYS!

im looking for something cheap that i can use on drums. mostly to free up some 57s for other uses, and have a few mics to take out live with me. was wondering if anybody has used their kit. its basically a knock of off the shure pg series. theres a st on craigslist for super cheap, so im thinking ab...
