I just bought a firepod and I already have an sm57, 58 and a few other random mics for recording. I'm looking into getting a cheap (100-200) condenser mic to add to my setup. For what I'm recording now I dont need a fancy setup, just recording guitars, vocals and cello. Does anyone have any suggestions for descent mics in this range?

hey I'm new to all this forum stuff, but i read some of the entrees and all you guys are using some nice gear. all I have is a condenser mic (cad) and a vocal mic. (don't know what make, I borrowed it) for some practice I am doing some x-mas songs. my wife singing, and a grand piano. the piano is in a church sitting in the front of the room. baisicly on a stage.

I have a question, that has likely been answered, but I can't seem to find the answer to.

I currently use a Sudio Projects C1 microphone with an Alesis Multimix8USB Mixer. I love the Studio Projects Mic, but I want to move up a bit.. I have come across a great deal on an Audio-Technica 4050 Mic for just under $500. I've heard nothing but good things about this Mic.

Hey all, noob here.

I havent had much success with my K2 on vocals. I had much better results with my studio projects C1. The K2 just doesnt pop out and sound as full at the same time as the C1. I have to EQ the crap out the K2 track to make it stand out. with the c1, not necessary. I sent out my K2 to RODE to see if it needed a repair it just didnt sound right.

looks interesting! I pretty much use my DPA 4006 exclusively for this task(with the 50mm pressure balls) but am always looking to add to the locker.

Hi Folks,

I'm just beginning a project with nature sounds of Rain Forestry,
and I would like so much to hearing you about best choices
with Mics and Preamps.

The sounds are from birds, animals, rivers, falls, etc.

Just saw an add for them and they are cheap, a couple reviews said that they were good quality mics, I am sceptical when a ribon mic is only 159, but jsut seeing if anyone had any luck with it.

Has anybody tried out the new KEL Mics?

I have a home studio Pro Tools setup (setup's in my info). I'm fairly new to the world of Recording and Mixing/Mastering. Here are the mics I have available:
2 - MXL 604 Condensers
2 - Sennheiser MD421 Dynamics
2 - SM57 Dynamics
1 - AKG D-112
