Hello recording guys!
My band is currently working on new songs and planning to completely self-produce our next release (we already have lots of recording gear based around Presonus Firestudio Tube, and a sound-proofed room.) We're also in the process of learning recording techniques, via gathering info and via trial-and-error to see what works, as we're in no hurry. The drum sounds are already coming along nicely.
As for recording guitars, I already have a Shure Beta 57A and a Sennheiser 906, which I'll most likely end up using in tandem anyway. But I recently tested also a Beyerdynamic M160 (hypercardioid, not figure 8), and noticed a nasty fizzy break up "on top" of the guitar sound. I troubleshooted it coming from the mic. The basic sound however, if it only wasn't for this break up on top of it, is absolutely gorgeous. So I'd really like to use this mic in some form during the final recording. But I'm also worried if my mic is malfuntioning (for example, a microscopic tear in the ribbon).
I didn't have the volume very loud on my rig (Framus Dragon + matching 4x12). Only on 1 out of 10. But I did have the Beyer M160 fairly up close. I know I'll have to go back to further testing for different recording distances etc, but I was just curious what you experienced recording people think.
?
Thanks
