Hi everyone,

I am in the process of acoustically treating my studio room and waiting for the replacement of my MOTU 896HD (long story) and my NT2000 microphone... so I see that I will have around 4000-5000 USD free soon I want to upgrade my studio (my current setup I will place at the end so you can see what components are good/bad ugly).

I am in the market for buying a good sounding stereo microphone which will not break the bank. I record electric rock music including mellotrons,
vocal harmonies and would at times like to use it as OH's for the drums. Are there any stereo mics out there that can withstand high spl's yet catch the smoothness of a 4part vocal harmony or capture the full range of an acoustic guitar?

So, here goes...

1. There is a conductor seated in front of modified woodwind quintet
From left to right( fl, ob, cl, b. cl, Bsn)

2. behind them is from left to right: t-bone, vocalist, and computer/electronics

3. last row from left to right: e. gtr 1, Upright bass 1, drums, bass 2, e. gtr 2

ok so you're trapped on a dessert island and. nevermind,

if you could pick just one mic for the given price range, what would you have?

50-150usd

150-250usd

250-500usd

iight, today i bought a CAD 22A dynamic mic and it did not come with a cable. I was wondering what type of cable i'm gonna neeed to start recording. and what the adapter for my computer is called. and will i need a sound card to work it? thanks by the way i heard it not a bad mic at all.
so basically can you tell me evrything i need to buy in order to be able to record.

I just received my Earthworks QTC-40 today. Have been test recording with it all day, and, I think I am in love. :oops:

I'm looking for a new mic to add to my closet. I was wondering, if you we're in my shoes, what mic would you purchase next for $2,000? My current closet holds these mics:

I have a friend/ engineer who wants to try this on a symphony orch in a Decca Tree configuration. He is, I think, new to classical recording. I am not, but I have little experience with ribbons in classical situations as mains- mostly because I am such a fan of top end that I prefer condensor's sound over anything 'duller'.

Hi there,

Hello all

I was wondering about mid sized mics. The DPAs that look like a capsule with a wire out the back (not the really tiny ones) and the Schoeps CCM compact mics spring to mind. Does anyone here think that these mics are compromised for the sake of size?

Cheers
