Yamaha 16/2 Mixer
Furman Power Conditioner
Shure Beta 52

It's sad really, I have decent hardware, but my recording space has major reflection problems, because it's so small and made of pure drywall.

nice mics.

[shayne_122]

nice mics.

lol. the 52, 57's and the B1, at least.

woops i didnt read that they were PG's, i just looked at numbers...still ok mics then.

[Hadji]

I'll be upgrading the PG52 to a Beta52 sometime in the near future and I'll be buying another TB1 to use for stereo overheads. For now, the PG56's work fine for toms. I've used the PG52 for floor tom before and had it sound good, so that's probably where that mic's going once I get the Beta. Once I pick up those two mics, I'll be pretty happy with my set-up with the exception of Cubase LE. I'm going to end up getting SX3 once I have the money for the $400-$500 upgrade.
