I did a lot of searching on here and didn't find much that helped, so if I'm missing something feel free to point me in that direction! I put out an album a little over two months ago, and a filmmaker friend of mine is looking for something to shoot. We're talking about doing a live performance of t...

I'd use the D6 for the back mic, because in the catalog it says you can put it anywhere and it sounds great. Boy that gave me a laugh. +1 on moving the mic back though. This thread is oddly relevant to me as I spent today messing around with some drum mic setups. I've got a D112, and normally I sti...

i saw this thread quite a while ago, i didn't know anyone was still posting on it! i go to school in philly, and i live right on the edge of it. i only do home recording so unfortunately i meet very few people as interested in recording as myself (tape op is pretty much my only interaction about it)...

Unfortunately the knowledge that comes from this place doesn't come with a pay raise, so I've gotten much better at recording but I'm still using pretty low-priced gear. However I've gotten...

Lotus, that's a beautiful collection of mics! Any personal favorites in there? They look like they might have an interesting story behind them.

I recently upgraded to new mixing gear, and this is the first "full band" song of mine I've mixed on it. I want to get this mastered, but I've never had any of my recordings mastered so I don't know if this is of good enough quality that mastering would make a decent improvement (other than just vol...
