Temporary recording studio recommendations

[MikeBmusic]

Close-miking often negates the need for room treatments for tracking. Still applies when mixing, though. So if you are only recording a single guitar track, there's really no 'mixing' involved other than usual EQ/reverb adds.

I've read that it's not optimal, but I'm going to try mixing using a pair of nice open-backed headphones such as the Shure SRH1840.

Tonight I'm going to try recording using my Miktek PM5 (a $600 condenser) on the guitar track, and the relatively inexpensive hyper-cardioid Miktek PM9 for vocals.

It's the vocals that'll be the measure for me.
