Hi,

I'm just trying to get familiar with microphones in general and was just wondering what are the most popular mics around, what are they typically used for, and (if any sound clips are available) what do they sound like? This would make a great resource. I'm pretty green so the only mics I really know at this point are your basic SM58, SM57 and NT1A.

Hello.

I'm about to buy a microphone and found 4 mics which look quite good. But I'm not sure which one to buy, so which of the following mics would you recommend:

Audio-Technica AT2020 (99€)
Audio-Technica AT3035 (198€)
AKG Perception 220 (189€)
Studio Projects C1 MkII (198€)

Just a quick question. I'm looking to mic some aggressive metal guitar tracks from a single speaker cab. What kind of mice should I get?

greetings all,

my MR1's bundled mics don't do it justice. I'd like to replace with quality stereo mics to strengthen the link. i am willing to spend up to $600.
any suggestions?

thank you.

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my mic. i have a red 5 audio rv 6, which i have had since i started but its not that good, and when i record it seems to pick up or have an airy sound around the recording.

I've just set up a little 'home studio' on a small budget and purchased the PreSonus firebox and a sontronics stc-2 condenser mic..

Everything works fine except the mic, which works on phantom power. I originally thought the mic must've been a dud, so phoned up the retailer and have swapped it for a new one. However, I'm still having the same problem.

I need to buy a male Vocal mic. I’m between a base and tenor vocals using this mainly for recording and using also in country music chat rooms. I’m willing to spend 300 to 450 US Dollars on this high quality mic. (Used /E-Bay is ok too) I’ve been looking at many potential mics because I’m also recording using a mixer preamp and recording software (Adobe Audition 3.0) and (Reason).

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a good and cheap vocal mic. It will be used on all kinds of vocals, all from the highest pithed female vocals to deepest male vocals and metal growling and screams.

I don't have a big budget as I am a poor student ;) but I would rather prefer that you'd recommend a little expensive mic over a crappy one :) Just the best for the money.

thanks in advace.
