I've been taping since the early 90's, but It's been a fairly basic rig. Nak CM300's on an AKG T bar>Audio Magix>DAP1 and/or D8. The mics were self powered, and it was pretty straight forward.
I'm not that familiar with the various designations of mic placements.. but I've usually run the mics in 8410's and pointed one at one stack..the other at the other.. Or crossed them in what I'm assuming is XY. (Left mic at right stack, right mic at left stack)
The tapes have turned out well, but I felt it was time to updgrade as I've always loved the warmth of Schoeps mics.
I also have an SBM1, which I've only used a couple of times.. It was just easier to use the DAP1 as an A/D instead... or use my Sony C1MZX and Vxpocket
Now, here's what I'm planning on using. I would like suggestions on mic diagrams, settings, and gear to use, etc. All help is greatly appreciated.
Here's the new rig, which is yet untried.
Schopes CMC6>MK4>V2>
Now, would I be better of using the A/D in the SBM1(stock), or using the A/D in the VXpocket (24 bit) to go into my Sony C1mzx? Do I need any other bar? (I also have two sabrasom mounts, and some Schoeps elastic A20 suspensions) With the V2 is there a specific gain that is recommended for the Schoeps?
If I run V2 to SBM1, at what point would I have to worry about the line in being too much for the SBM1?
Sorry for so many questions, I just thought some people more knowledgeable with this setup would have already worked out the bugs, and might be able to save me hours of testing.
Eventually, I'll be using the Nak MX100 mixer some, as well, but the 3 channel mix is just another variable that coud go wrong, until I figure out the rest of these questions.
Thanks again,
Spinman
