What do you mount your condenser mic on? Just a normal mic stand? I don't have mine because I left it at my friend's house so I don't know if I can use it or not.

Here's what I use. Fairly inexpensive, and I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

This is my 4-track. I bought it years ago, it wasn't that expensive then (maybe $100 or so). They're probably much cheaper now. It's a Yamaha MT-50, very easy to work with.

Image

I bought a 1/4" inch to 1/8" adapter so I could send the recording to my computer.

Image

My microphone is a E/V N/D267. I bought it several years ago before I started playing gigs. It was about $125 then and again, probably much cheaper now.

Image

The guitar I use the most to record has the following pickup. I am not sure what the specific model Fishman pickup it is:

Image

I use Sony Acid Pro 4.0 to record. It's about a $400 program. I really like it.

Basic screen shot. Sorry for the horrible jpeg quality.

Image

In terms of effects, I usually use two, reverb and smooth/enhance.

Image

First is a little bit of reverb. There's many different modes to choose from. My favorites are "warm space" and "rich hall." I usually set the reverb between -35 and -30 db, near the minimum amount. I'm careful with it because I think too much reverb is really, really annoying.

Image

And last, I enhance the track a little, around level 3.

1. Screw the shockmount (spider webby thing) on to the 5/8" bolt coming out of the top.
2. Squeeze the handles on the shockmount, slide in mic.
3. Rock

I have a mackie dfx-12 track mixer running through an m-audio Pre-USB box into my custom computer that was built for me by a friend. Its a pretty sick set up, imo.
