Members RonniePentatonic Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are you wanting to record the whole band practice live with one microphone? If so, a 57 probably wouldnt be that great, much better for close micing guitar cabs and drums, maybe some vocals. To record the whole band at once...a decent condensor mic might be a better choice. Just find the best sounding place in the room and put the mic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yeah a 57 for a room mic to pick up an entire band is completely NOT the mic you want for the job.. As mentioned a condenser is much better suited for a room mic.. A dynamic(IE Shure 57 etc.etc) would get you no where fast in that situation.. For a nice quality cheap mic I would go with an Oktava MK319 or 219.. MXL makes some decent cheap condensers. IN fact maybe if you got a few extra bucks you can go with a RODE..
