Actually, Supreme Overlord Commander, I do value the difference in 'different' mics, and like to use different ones according to their values, but would just like a different perspective of mics I haven't tried (yet). I've used the above mentioned mics, as well as direct with COSM devices, but wanted to know what others thought. In fact, I've found J Page's system of using close/distance miking to direct to be very effective when mixed 2gether. It certainly worked 4 Black Dog....The SM57 is a very effective bandpass filter, it cuts off the top and bottom end of the signal more effectivily than the Hilton girls (yaha) but doesn't deliver all of the sound. Just wanted a bit of advice on other mic subjects, they are after all, filters. All are just ideas, the song matters more.....still love the site, thanx for putting, and keeping, it together. ur companion in global recording battles!
