i tend to have very layered electric guitars, so recording all these electric guitar tracks and having only one mic for one track on other instruments, the guitar just kind of swallows it up.

PM me something you've done if you don't mind, I'd like to have a listen before I comment on that.

They have fairly similar frequency response, however the e835 doesn't roll off lower frequencies as sharply as the 57. The result is a little more access to the low-end of a signal.

It's not really an upgrade as they are right around the same price point. But from the sounds of it, you could use a few of them to add to your arsenal in the event you do want to begin recording your own drums, or even just want a different flavor when layering.

Ok that makes sense, I didn't read the specs and thought it was 8 ins. There are options to do that but that would involve upgrading your digital workstation.

You can make effective drum recordings with one mic if the room is right...but that's the key. Where I will disagree with you is 'any room with wood floors' being good for vox/acoustics - perhaps in your experience that is true but in mine, it's not the case.

i have something perfect -- acoustic guitars, an upright piano, vocals and harmonies -- each recorded with two microphones at the same time, in a large living room with wood floors. it'll be in your inbox.

that makes sense, and listening to my demos i know what you mean. but the bass melodies are often a very important part of my electric music -- in my opinion, most albums don't have basslines that are discernible enough. this means, throughout the recording process, I am doing my best to make room for the bass, so i don't mind if the lower frequencies are lost on my electric guitar recordings -- i'm looking for those to come through more in the upper midrange/low treble, and im sure the guy who's mixing the album would just apply a high-pass filter and eliminate most of those lower ranges anyway.

i'll have to do some comparisons to decide which mics to get when i'm at that point. i really like AKG D-550s on toms, and they're not that expensive either. i'm interested to know more about your drum microphone preferences though.

im planning to get the 24-track version of the same Tascam model soon, which has 8 inputs.

what's needed as far as room treatment, size, and shape for clean, concise drum recordings? i don't know jack diddly squat about recording drums other than what i could easily read from the internet.
