Easy. Point it at the speaker; listen back on isolation headphones while the perfomer plays; move the mic around until it sounds its best; leave it there; hit record. It's a technique that works for every mic every time.

Well thats kinda what i called the "tried out" technic and work for about everything in life.Thats how i picked-up good lover girls at the summer camp,back in the days.

I started out with the 57 for the guitar cab, and a b1 for vocals. The 57 is great for certain kinds of stuff.

I picked up an Apex 210 which totally smokes the 57 for certain types of guitar tracks.

There's no way they recorded like say, voodoo chile with an sm57, it's a cool mic, but there's some things it just can't do. (watch a 57 is exacly what they used lol)

My Karma K35 has pretty much made sure my B1 rarely get's plugged in.

The Oktava mk-012 are great mics for overhead,i like it especially for cymbals,and the price is very affortable.The Naiants mics are also a good option.

Pretty nice on acoustic guitar too... especially a modded one.

What would be a good all round mic for home recording? I'm talking acoustic, voice, amp, pots and pans, toilet flushing...you know...the basics?

The SM57 is a great place to start. You can get usable sounds from just about any source with it. A dynamic mic is also very forgiving of an untreated or poorly treated space, so if you're working in an untreated spare bedroom, you'll likely get better results with a $100 SM57 than a $1000 large-diaphragm condenser (LDC) and definitely better than a $100-200 Chinese-made LDC.

I think Eddie Kramer really liked the Beyer M160 on guitar cabs (and overheads), so that would be my guess, but that could probably be confirmed in a few minutes with Google.

Was recording at a local studio today, the engineer used a pair of AKG C 535 mics on the acoustic guitar, as well as room mics for the drums. Absolutely stunning sound, and pretty affordable ($300 each).
