you are quoting a heck of a lot there.

[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1072607"]If not, I have a good sounding kick drum mic I could bring if need be, although odds are not the same quality as the one you guys can bring (this is a nameless mic that was sixty bucks new, although it sounds better than it has any right to). [QUOTE="Sacreligion:1072572"]It's bare bones but works fine if you're not trying to play your amps at 10. Snare and toms cut through alright. The main problem with the room is the wash between a tinny guitar tone and the cymbals. Hooray for mirrors everywhere on the ceiling. [/QUOTE] Good to know that the options are there if need be. Between Casey's naturally loud drumming and my atmospheric guitar tone pushing inhuman amounts of low end for a guitar versus being relatively low on the presence scale, usually things work out a lot better if we mic the half stack just for that little extra oomph. Otherwise, I can put it at the front of the stage and the crowd hears fine, but we can't hear it, or I put it at the back of the stage, and every cymbal crash cuts through the high frequencies of the chorus in the distortion like a knife, because the soundwaves are physically dissipating before they get there - so the crowd can somewhat hear it, but it slightly seems to be fading in and out obnoxiously like an unintended phaser effect. Since I'm also covering for all bass frequencies it at this particular gig, micing the guitar will be especially helpful if possible. Good to hear there's reverb. Hall reverb is a necessary part of the slight of hand to create the illusion that my vocals are decent :LOL: I also find that adding hall reverb to the keyboards and kick always tends to enhance our sound, and (although I doubt you'll have time to do this at the show) sometimes when we're doing a particularly gothic/atmospheric song (Mourning Rain, a Type O cover, etc.) we'll even throw an extra two mics on the kit turned up very low through the board but doused heavily in hall reverb; it creates the illusion of that type of drum sound quite convincingly by adding the extra sense of depth to the toms and snare.[/QUOTE]
