Re: So... How do you mic a tractor?Here in Ohio we set an AKG D12E down low to get the rumble, and add a small diaphragm condenser like an SM81 on an overhead boom to pick up the clatter of the intake and exhaust valves. It's very accurate and captures a warm, vintage sound character. If you're on a tight budget or short on channels, just throw an SM57 on it.There's a guy up in Columbus who uses triggers and sampled tractor sounds. He can make any Massey-Ferguson sound like a Ford 9N. No shit.
