Put one mic up and dasiy chain the mic pre's and listen to them all in playback and A/B the lot of them . Each mic pre gets it's own track !
Do male vocals - female , eltr guitar bass , drums the whole kit of coarse . ( one mic mono ) then each drum cybal .
Piano a grand , violin, Last your mother nagging you to take out the trash !

so post some mic pre examples of your own.
might be helpfull for people to compare what your
doing with your pre's to what they are doing.

i find it amazeing that there cant be a darn thread
thats peacefull and fun with friendly debate without
some folks going into attack mode...lol.

I'm with ya manning1

I agree that some folks round here tend to have a "shoot first" attitude... I for one like the idea of an informal, un-scientific, and FUN exercise in comparing pres (and mics too). All the power to ya amigo

In fact.. I am inspired to try doin' one myself with a couple of my pres and mics. As soon as the kids finish watching tv and get out of my...um...tracking room.
