Hey, I'm new here and I'm looking for a good small diaphragm cardioid microphone that would be good for acoustic guitar and ideally drums or a guitar cabinet. My budget is $500 or less. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm looking for a microphone that has a somewhat 'telephonic' sound. Lo-fi, even naturally overdriven sounding. It would be used for an 'effected' vocal sound... peppered into the songs as opposed to being the staple vocal tone.

So I was watching this video about the band Darkest Hour. They've been recording in Canada with Devin Townsend.

There's a bit in the vid midway through when they're tracking guitars where they show off this box, it's a quiet box, for recording guitars.

Any idea of the microphone inside? It looks kind of like a 57 with a windscreen on it on a weird looking mic stand.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the world of recording, but I want to get involved. I have a macbook with 2 gb of ram, and I was wondering what equipment I would need to record my band, and possibly others.

hey guys,

so the type of music that i do is hip/hop, rap

i wanna buy a mic but ive tried asking 3 different stores and they keep on telling me about 3 different mics, so now i wanna get the opinion of recording.org

ok so here are the mics that they told me about

I got a pair of NT5's and the other day i muted the 2 channels i wanted to connect them to, then i connected them, and then i turned the phantom power on and what i got was a trip back to the retailer where i got them and they traded them out for a new pair.

can anyone hear attest to the difference between hanging a mic upsde down in a boom (as in most reCDing studios) or having it right side up? i've been doing the latter for years and just now thought of this.

thanks

Hi I'm a big Nicko Mcbrain (Iron Maiden) fan trying to identify his overhead microphones.

Are these overhead's Neumann KM84 with wind shields on them.

Or what else are they?

Thanks Nicko Fan

Can't display pic so you will have to follow instructions below.

I have a C414 B-ULS that I've had for a while and I both another (came today) with the hope that they'd be close enough to use as a pair.e came The first one came with a SA 18/3B mic clip. The second came with an H-100 shock mount. So I thought I'd see what another clip cost - WOW - $200 and your first born male child. (Tough luck George Rogers.)
