Dave Royer used my studio around the year 2000 to test the ribbon mics. R.A.D. Sound Studio Fullerton CA. Dave Royer had 2 versions of his Tube mics in the 90's Mojave. The (Bomb) has Chinese capsules, I had 2 of these. The (Monster) has a Neuman capsule, I couldn't afford to buy one at the time. I rented a Monster once. 2 Crown PZM mics on each side of a small plate make a great overhead stereo drum kit mic setup. Locate over the drummer's head pointing down at the kick drum. The small plate means the mics only pickup the highs. For my own vocals, I've always liked the Audio Technica 260XL more the an SM58.

I’ve tried a few and been down the gear rabbit hole a little bit. But when people I meet ask my advice these days I bore them and I say- get an SM57! 😂 a real one not a cheap copy. It’s not sexy and people like the big shiny condensers with the cool shockmount and the pop filter- I get it I’ve got one! (SE2200a) But my logic now goes like a) An SM57 sounds pretty damn good on anything- I actually like it on acoustic guitar over my Rode M3. b) Living in London we are all recording in less than ideal rooms with neighbours arguing, buses going past and planes overhead- condensers pick up too much of the background noise and the bad room sound. c) It’s inexpensive and robust enough to just leave set up and ready to go at all times.

I feel ya as my own studio shakes w a train passing and no Lie 500 bands playing all around my rehearsal style studio. 57s are in my tool box and still after 25 years making records used every session. No body is fancy here lol but not that my ears can hear differences in mics I love these options now . I reach for mics before plugins and that’s just my own style.
