How well would this work for a live setting, say mic'd up bass, kick, floor tom?

hello michael, good, great answers, but if I change it for the same P1800SX vega gives best shot, and frequencies are better, recommend P1800SX,,

No a moderate volume would work just fine. But if you want the water to really move like crazy I suggest some bass :) The volume isn't a big issue, it's mostly what you play. Lyrics will kick it off too.

Yeah, this is primarily a stage amp. It sounds good at lower volumes but sounds amazing when cranked. It can play a decent sized bar without micing depending on your bandmates gear.

I had never tried it and was inclined to think it wouldn't work very well but I plugged my P-Bass into it and it actually sounded pretty good. Definitely doesn't have the punch of a bass amp but would be fine for practice work or just noodling around without vibrating the whole house.

It would be okay but I'd say you should find a music mic for live music... this one is more for open filming.

I have miced this amp in a studio setting for recording before but I would be extremely hesitant do use this amp in a live setting. It's a practice amp mainly meant for home use.

I think this would be a great mic for live performance, as far as on-camera mics go. Better than a shotgun because with this mic you'll get sound from the whole room, not just whatever you're pointed at. However for a live performance I'd definitely try to record from the audio soundboard - then you can sync up your camera with the audio recording and have the best of both.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

We use ours very successfully for vocals ..Both channels .. regularly in room holding about 75 or more .. With amped guitar & electric piano .. never had to use beyond 75 % or less on volume & no problem hearing lyrics .. must have good mics. Have no experience with drums

This will work perfectly. As long as you are positive your mike and computer are working correctly. I use mine every time I use a microphone. Just turn up input gain until you get a little yellow on loud vocals and set output to desired level. It also will provide power to a condenser mike where a computer typically wont

No I'm pretty sure you can't. What I did since I have 6 piece set up as well is just use the bass mic for my 18 inch floor tom. The bass mic by far is the weakest area of this set up. Pick up a shure beta 52 or an Avantone Mondo bass drum mic ( I have the Avantone it's awesome). It will really bring out the full potential of your kit. They're around 150 bux.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

yes ive been using mine for my synths and electronic drums it can compete with a guitar going through a Hughes and Keller warp 7 amp, its good for small gigs but if your doing any thing bigger than a bar or small venue id go for something slightly more powerful

Yes...Do note that some spots in the venue will have better results. I would try M/S Raw mode @ 96khz/24bit (H2n) & mix the ambient/direct mix later for best results...

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

While I have never used this for live recording, what you are looking for is what this was intended to do. It's designed to set your limits and level things off. Also it has the sonic maximizer which is a plus. That will help clean things up and enhance the over all sound.

I think it would work as long as the power is the same as the sound board and amps (for live), and DI for recording
