Forums

Mic that doesn't pick up guitar picking sound?

Forums

Filming guitar instructional videos. Currently have a RODE NTG-1 mic positioned above and in front of the teacher.

Renee Zellweger - Judy Garland, bizarre mic choice.

Forums

Anyone else seen the publicity shots for the Biopic, showing 'Judy Garland' singing into a ... British Grampian DP4 (or DP-8 - can't see the switch) microphone? Never a good mic, these were omni, had absolutely no warmth whatsoever, no proximity effect and a 'classic' mic that never ever cut it.

Best type of Mic for recording acoustic instruments in live situation
