Brent R — Portland Recording Connection

Lovin - Posted on 2012-12-07 by Brent R

For some strange reason, when I go to a music store I really enjoy looking at the microphones more than anything. There are many different types of miks and they are used, as you can guess, to mik different things. The three basic types of miks you'll run into are condensers, dynamics, and ribbons. The ST58 condenser I own is great for recording especially vocals as it has a very clear accurate

sound. I treat it like a baby as it is fragile. I also own the studio standard sm57 dynamic miks which I use in miking pieces of the drum kit I record. It has a gutsy rugged sound that is fine for a drum set and isolating a particular drum sound due to its polar pattern. The mik can also take a licking from the drummer and keep on kicking.
