a mix forum would be fine if people wanted to talk about mixing...
as to the rest of the last post, yes!

Sm57 review: http://www.mojopie.com/fletcher.html

I'm definitely doing something wrong with these mics.

In my experience SM57 are good for live sound,and close micing only for snares (top mic), toms and marshall stacks. Plus they're practically unbreakable. If I had a choice in a studio I wouldn't use them for anything else.
My two roubles

i'm sending vocal signal to rev like this:
aux1----rev left input
aux2----rev right input
but in this way i'm hearing some wired phase problem! or the sound is not right. Is this is the Right way to patch a rev? or it should patch like this:
aux1-----rev left input
aux1-----rev right input
using duel delay like this works great.
Thanks

there is no good reason to use stereo inputs on a verb used in an aux(though you can if you want to). just use one input.....

What about on a drum bus, or for overheads? I.e. drums left -> aux 1, drums right -> aux 2.

To be perfectly honest I've never bothered, but it seems to me that if the reverb is well-constructed it will sound slightly different and more complex.

you'll still hear panning effects using a mono input and you'll have less chance of phase problems even with stereo sources, but once again, there's no law against using stereo inputs on a verb.

I think the SM-57 is a fine mic.......now. I used to hate it running through my Digi-001 preamps.

It is definitely a mic that needs a really good preamp to bring out what it is capable of. I use mine with an Amek 9098 pre for almost all my vocals nowadays.

Here is a 30 second snippet of me singing with the Amek / SM-57 combo:

I actually like it better than my LD condensers (most of the time).

i think that is because the preamp you have.
and thats way i'm not getting much with AKG3000B + joemeekVC3Q. need to change my mic pre first. thanks Kamurah... nice song

can you show some example of mix a vocal...
last day i use the pitch shift(left+10..right-10) and found great result. but can't set the rev maybe the vocal is poor. any eq tips will be Great.
thanks

try to put waves doubler 4 in the vocal's group chanel, then mute dry signal and use only wet. if you take care about mono compactibility then take a look to corelation meter.

Thanks sandrob... putting pitch shift is almost same as chorus fx. it works great with poor vocals. did you listen the band Corrs?...that album.. In Blue? what a class vocal.... how they mix?

Also try different mics for different vox. Some people's vox sound infinitely better with a M69 than a Shure 57/58 for example. I myself used to use a beta 58 a lot. Condensers are the go though!!
