Blue Bluebird vs. . RODE NT1

Submitted by anonymous on Mon, 08/29/2005 - 13:45

Here's my dilemma...

I run a home based studio and I currently have access to two AT 4040 mic's. They're decent mics that work well for a lot of the stereo pairing that I use them for. However, they aren't mine (they belong to a drummer friend) and could be picked up and gone at anytime. So I'd be left without any large diaphragm mic's if they were gone.

ALSO, I don't have a great vocal mic. So over the weekend I picked up a Blue Bluebird that sounds fantastic. But I'm thinking I should take it back and get two RODE NT1's for the same price, incase I lose access to the AT 4040's. I'd be able to use the RODE 's as a vocal mic, and they sound alright, but they're pretty much in the same realm as the AT 4040's as a vocal mic.

What do you think I should do?
