Please describe what was wrong recording the tambourine with your existing mic, and what is wrong with recording your acoustics with your existing mics. This could very well be that you don't have a good preamp that can amplify your existing mics without noise.



When I recorded tambourine it wasnt good picking up the jingles (the loose jungles before you hit the tambourine on or off the beat). I've not had any noise issues though. The volume seemed to drop real quick when the tambourine wasnt infront of the mic. My preamp is a Presonus AudioBox 22vsl. Perhaps I should have used a compressor on it?

Not thought about recording my acoustics with this mic before?
