pito'evil Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I’m looking at amping one of my winter line pits. I’ve been told a number of things in terms of positioning the mics. I’ve heard that you can user basic stands, suspend them under the boards via bungee cords, put them in front of the boards, in back of the boards, etc…. I’m looking to get a few opinions from folks that have miced before (indoor or outdoor)… What works for you? What have you seen that does work or doesn’t. We’re using the Shure SM57 mics for our boards and other instruments. We have… • 4.5 Oct Marimbas x2 • 3 Oct Vibes x2 (maybe 3) • 3.2 Xylos x3 • 2 sets of bells (NOT Amped) • Drum set (kick drum Amped) • Chimes (Amped) Everything else will not be Amped. THANKS IN ADVANCE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iplaytimpani Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Going to PASIC? Glassmen pit is doing a whole clinic with Rob Ferguson on amping pits. We'll have a bunch of different set ups rigged up and it'll be a really great clinic for winter line teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
