Re: Bought this beast
hmm....something to think about. I'll probably just buy the 58 for now....I forgot I was getting a mic with the rebate. :smack:
I do want to get two mics, I've heard the sound quality is much better.
That looks quite cool
This may be a silly question, but why get a 57 and a 58? In my experience, they're essentially the same mic!
I have a 58 that I take the dome off when I record guitars or bass, and put the dome back on for vocals. Works fine

Re: Bought this beast
More mics doesn't necessarilly give you 'better' sound quality, but it gives you extra options by being able to pair mics together that have differing characteristics.
When I record guitar at home I use an SM58 (with the dome off) dynamic mic, and a Blue Baby Bottle Condensor mic.
I dunno what you know about microphones, but Condensor mics tend to sound warmer than dynamic mics, but can't handle as high Sound Pressure Levels as dynamic mics can.

Re: Bought this beast
Not entirely true. Different mics have different frequency responses, and are therefore more useful in some situations than others. That's 1 reason using more than 1 mic (all different) on a source can yield very good results.
You can totally change the sound while recording a guitar just by changing the microphone you use.
When I was doing alot of studio engineering I made a sample CD up of the same guitar/amp combination but recorded with every mic the studio had, just for comparison purposes.
It really helped me pick out what mic might be best in what situation.

Question,
That "instrument in" hole, that means that it can take a line out from Attenuator right?(MasLite has a LINEOUT feature) hmmm would be nice if could throw my AOR straight on the hardware without any implications ...... ???

Re: Bought this beast
looks cool man. post some recordings so we can hear how it turns out. i don't have anything decent to record on, so i'm interested in how it ends up.

Definitely cool Cream. I think your recording quality is gonna skyrocket now.

Re: Bought this beast
I have a detailed analysis if two different very popular recording microphones at the link below - Different mic's have different sounds, just like cabs, speakers, pickups, amps...
Sennheiser 421 vs. Shure Beta 57A near bottom of page
GearBox anyone?

FWIW, the SM58 and the SM57 have different frequency responses - not quite the same microphone, with or without the grill.
