@appleseed No such thing as too many microphones. This isn't even half of them, just set a few up for a promo shot to show off my gear on my wobsite. http://ur1.ca/502m1

@appleseed Haha, 'fraid not. I know a lot of guys sell off their old mics as they buy new ones, but I don't turn mine around. Hold onto 'em, never know when one of your cheaper mics is going to give you /that sound/ on something you're recording.

@engelhardt Unless it's total crap and also falling apart.

@starshine Don't talk about Cleveland that way! (...ok, I'll click the "in context" link before replying to things in the future)

@appleseed I did post a mic out to a friend, we're going to be starting our own pony podcast soonly, but his life's kinda hectic right now, but the first episode will definitely be up within two weeks. Seeing as I'm an audio engineer and posted him a professional quality mic, it will be the best sounding pony podcast on the internets.

@appleseed If you wanna talk mics feel free to ask me! I got into this industry 'cause I like music, but I also like the gear.

@appleseed Ever heard of the Glyn Johns recording method? Only uses three mics and sounds pretty darn good; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKZ9b82eIE Here's another video about drum recording with two inputs; http://ronansrecordingshow.com/2010/07/drum-recording-advice-drum-tracks-in-the-mix/ and here are some more deets about the Glyn Johns method; http://www.wikirecording.org/Guide_to_Recording_Drums#Three_Microphones

@appleseed Yeah, I've had to use it a couple times when the band wanted to record live off the floor, and we didn't have enough inputs to put 8+ mics on the drum kit. It's a really good micing technique.

@appleseed Uh, dang. Just found these for $30 a pop; http://www.buy.com/prod/cad-icm417-overhead-condenser-microphone/q/sellerid/10848956/loc/101/218338611.html I've recorded with them before, used them for overheads. I'll boot up that session and bounce just the overhead recording to give you an idea of how they sound.

@appleseed Here it is with no compression, no mixing, nothin'! Starts about 10 seconds in. This is just how it sounded after I finished up the recording. Didn't put the kick drum in the mix, either. If you just a good overhead mic set up with a mic on the kick you wouldn't do too bad for yourself http://doctormowinckel.com/boogers/CADICM417.mp3
