What type of demo? What's the purpose? What's the budget for
recording the demo? Who's paying for it.
What sort of facility, room used, etcetera?
If it's of an unsigned artist attempting to get signed by a label,
they'll expect to hear essentially a finished
recording. You, who don't know doodlysquat about microphones and
are still in school have no business trying to record
such a demo. He needs to go to a professional studio with a
knowledgable engineer and producer. They may choose among
dozens of mics ranging in cost from (to be realistic) $100
to $3,000. They'll use what works best for the material
being recorded, and it may not be the same microphones for
every song.
IF this dude's going to audio school, he needs to be able to formulate his thoughts a little better, or that school isn't teaching him much.
dO Mike and I sound a little harsh here? Sorry about that,
but your question is very poorly formulated, and yes I know
it's for some sort of paper, but that whole thing's rather
vague. You'll have to do better if you want other than
sarcastic comments from us old dogs been doing this for
awhile.
If you're doing a demo to get a gig at a coffee house, you
can do it just fine with inexpensive microphones.
Yeah right, but we don't know waht this guy's doing. What
school is this? IF you're not any better equipped to
formulate your questions than that I don't think I'd want to hire you.
Learn to do your own research. But first, learn what you
need to find out.
Well said.
Regards,
Richard
