I just bought my macbook pro and soon I will also acquire a profire 2626 and PT8.0 m-powered. Im going to be recording my band with it with consists of the electrics guitars, bass, drums, and two vocalists (both male, similar tone & range).
below is my to buy list for mics. im definitely torn on a few of them so maybe you guys can help me out. I guess the genre could be thought of as experimental hard rock. I may as well supply an example
ARMS AGAINST A SEA on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos
this was recorded in a pretty decent studio some so I dont expect to completely replicate that but I would like to shoot for that sound
Audix d6 (kick)
audix d4 (floor tom, bass amp possibly but I'll probably go direct)
SM57 x2 (snare, rack tom, guitars)
Oktava mk012 2x (cymbals, vocals, acoustic gtr if needed)
CAD m179 (hi hat, floor tom if i end up getting 2x)
I think Im drawn to a more sibilant sound for OH, something that strays away from the gong sound of the cymbals yet doesnt sound too harsh. same with hi hat i guess... I also considered getting ATM450, AE5100, NT5 and some others but Ive heard alot of good from the ones Ive picked. any suggestions?
