There is a reason why he is still recording a converted garage. I can't lay my finger on it yet- but I am sure it will come to me. LOL!

No Tad- I don't trust you. If the Ghandi knocked on my door and told me to trust your engineering advice, I wouldn't listen. Here is some solid information you can trust about microphones: http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Microphone

yeah ,.. I always use 58's on my kicks .. they give them a great sound right until the diaphrams blow out. Better yet maybe I shoudl use more "cardoid" mics ... sounds better than using condensers for overheads. yes .. get stoned every day kiddies and this is what YOU can be in a few years.

Using Cardioid Microphones in a Home Recording Studio

Hi! I’m Tad Donley and I’m speaking in behalf of Expert Village. Here we have, these are cardoid mikes right here, these are really good ones. They have ?? (0010), but the good cardoid mikes and this is for overhead, overheads on drums and also for applications where you might be, a quire or something like that, you can use a couple of these for your guitar, and miking for your drums. Some people think that the Audix drums mikes are better for drums, no, they are cheaper, you get a set and they get cheaper than what individually each one of these SM58s cost. They are covering just the front end of it and a little bit on the front, you can get the SM58 in further with a deal and it will sound bigger, trust me, and you can mix it easier, on the other end to get a good sound.
