We need some shotgun mics to record a film. There is a limited budget of about 1g for audio equipment. Can anyone recommend some shotguns that will play well with a purely transistor-based preamp in the 300 dollar range? Thanks for any suggestions.

sorry, I'm quite new to forums, and if this is in the wrong place, i do apologise.

anyway..
i recently bought a condenser mic. (Behringer )
brilliant piece of hardware, however - now when i record music, (usually acoustic) the right channel is about 6dB louder then the left. why is this? 2 weeks back it was fine.
i have dropped it once, is that a cause?

Hi

I record songs in a voice and acoustic guitar format (no other instruments). I'm searching for a nice stereo mic (up to about £500/$1000). I've tried the RODE NT4 but the tone wasn't quite there for me.

Hi guys!
I'm a beginner guitar player and want to strat doing some recording. As i don't want to spend much money for the moment i want to buy one only mic to record both, guitar and singing. Which is the best option?dynamic or condenser?any specific model?
I was also thinking of using it to record some percussion,djembe.

Thanks

This is a list based on http://recording.org/pro-recording-forum/28744-whats-in-your-mic-cabinet.html topic (as of May 10th, 2007) of all the replies I could make out.

I went into my attic and pulled out a couple of my first mic purchases and I was wondering what my recording Guru's Think of the possibilities> I was also wondering...(I Feel so retarded for asking this)What the hell does the word pad mean on my mixing board and in these microphone reviews I keep reading?

Can anyone give me some input for this mic? I use it for a vocal mic but I cannot compare to others since its my first mic. I put it through an ART tube and I cant get a good sound from it, but I'm not sure if it is the tube or the mic. If anyone has this microhpone or have used it, feel free to respond.

I am strictly using it for acoustic guitar and vocals.

I see A lot of mics on here and i was wondering about some of the possible applications of said plugin conjunction with the use of some of the mics below...My intention is to record hip hop vocals and i'm trying to get a clean crisp sound. I was also wondering if I should use a microphone preamp too...

Hi All -

I've read any number of times that a good place for live recording mics is up in the air; "the higher the better" was indicated on more than one occasion.

What characterizes the difference in sound between typical ear-level and higher up? What makes it better?
