Hey Brandon,

I appreciate yr logic as well, and I think most people in the 'music game' do it out of an emotional response (love?) and not logic, so different ways to record are usable, and debatable, I was just asking what other people might be using. I do have a 70s SM57, and the freq response is great for guitar and vocals, and so many great recordings have been made w/them, but what else is out there? ie., 2 miking a guitar amp, or vocalist, can yield two diffrnt yet usable sounds, then you can reject them or blend them. One type of mic IMHO, doesn't do it for everything. Sens r great 4 drums, but you might prefer a more 'biased' mic (SM57?) 4 a certain sound. It's only the end product that counts, IMHO. I like Beck (Jeff preferably, but also Hanson) and the Chesky recordings (which are outsanding! as are the MSrecordings, with a few exceptions, they use no pop mastering tricks, no EQ and no compression-check em out?) as well as Weezer, etc. But it's a big wild world of music, I enjoy quite a bit of it.

Thanks Mr. Sadasiv, I'll definitley check out those sites. I'm a geek at heart, but also a 'preformer' so I like the emotional aspects of music, but also the tech. It's interesting to combine the 2.........Thanx again 4 the heads up.
