I like the sound best with the mic on axis  ...It captures more thump and less tiny "boing" sound.  I need some better isolation headphones than these direct sound extreme isolation headphones to make it easier for testing.  Thanks though

Don't those extreme iso phones sound pretty bad?

My suggestion, if (as I am assuming again) you are recording all in one room (as I do) is that you make a recording of the kick and listen back, rather than trying to position mics with just headphones.  Get it close with the headphones, then fine tune by recording and listening back on speakers.

I have the my at3035 now 2-3inches directly away from the sound hole of the resonant head, pointed at the center of the resonant head...finally i get some nice bass

the gain-bandwidth product is insufficient with the gain rung out in the preamp and it clips/overloads. My point was that the SM PR8 does not have enough headroom + gain

What 2 channel preamp (<$300), including used, would you recommend with better headroom to capture the sound better/fuller?  I'm really only having the problem on vocals and kick drum..the rest of the instruments I can manage w/ the PR8 for now .
