Oh, and sorry about the bandwidth hogging. I'm just bored. Just got thinking about that old Firesign Theatre album cover...

Hi Tedster,
I rented the Dragongfly (2), and used them for drum overheads. They sounded GREAT just thru my Mackie 24/8 pre-amps. I only had 24 hours with them, so I didn't have enough time to give them the 3rd degree. I'd probably buy a couple of them, but right now I'm saving my pennies for a new DAW 'puter.
-Hippie

I like the BLUE mics - but was not as impressed with the Dragonfly. I prefer the Blueberry and Mouse and the higher end stuff. YMMV.

Well. Tedster:
I was dissappointed by your teaser thread title.
I was hoping you were really stepping out into the other side and trying to determine how to mic pancakes.
I have a freind in Nashville that is a first call percussionist. He said that the best bass drum sound he ever recorded was a sweet honey roll in the wrapper. He miked it from overhead, played it with a felt beater with his hand, and said it was killer!
Goes to show that you cannot alway think within the box!
Miking Blueberry pancakes ... too funny.

I've got a good friend with a Blueberry and I've recorded with it. It's very very crisp. You've gotta watch sibilants but I really like trebly mics so I totally dig it. If you get in close, you can get plenty of low end, but no where near the proximity effect of most large diaphragm condensers. The more I listen back to the track I sang with it, the more I want one. It's a really big present sound. Also miced up an ancient Gibson F-hole with old dead strings. The Blueberry gave it a lot of zing which surprised me. Like I said, it's a crisp mic, but in a good way.

Amazing...I remember one early track I recorded used a big cardboard box with a hammer for a bass drum and a tambourine...actually sounded neat in a "Willy and the Poor Boys" kinda way...
Miking pancakes...hahaha...maybe I will try. They'd probably make a "splat" sound if I whopped 'em with a mallet, though...
