I was hoping to experiment with using 2 mics for my vocal recordings. I have always used my soundelux u-195 as my main vocal mic, as it is the best mic I own, but I used to use a studio projects c-1 and I kinda liked that sound a bit too. The u-195 is definitley smoother, but the brightness of the c-1 seems to sound pretty nice on my voice as well...

Hi everyone,

I'm just about to start a project that is going to twist my rubber arm to buy more gear!

I was hoping for some recommendations...

1) I need a nice mic for electric guitars. Has anybody compared the Royer R-122 to the 121? Is it worth the extra $500? Any other suggestions?

Hey everyone, first time poster, love the site! Have a quick (hopefully ) question regarding vocal recording technique.

Hey there,
I'm looking to add a Tube mic to my home studio set up. I will (at least fro the first little while) be running it directly into my Digi 002R. Eventually I'll invest in a nice mic preamp. I'll be using it mainly for voice over work, but would also like to record vocals for music projects as well.

RODE K2
RODE Match Pair NT5s
Beyerdynamic m160
Sennheiser MD421

can't wait till i get them!

I just had to put my 2 cents infor anyone thinking of getting new mikes. My wife and I decided instead of buying each other presents for Christmas this year we would give each other money this year and we would buy what we wanted for Christmas. Of course I wanted studio stuff so last night I went and bought a RODE NT-1-A and a matched pair of NT-5s along with some other stuff.

How do you do it and can you explain in vintage bluesman langauge what it is. Sorry to bother you busy guys . New to doing this sound tech stuff ... I got used to having this all done for me ... I know lazy bas*ar*.

ps: sorry I was a very slow learner at school. 8)

I'm trying to get ahold of some drum mics on a $200-300-ish budget... Any recommendations? I understand that just about anything that I get is going to be pretty low end, not to great, but then again, neither is my setup, and I'm just 16... working with band from my school on a demo, and some friends need stuff recorded to send off to colleges. How is the Shure PG kit?

This is my first post on this AMAZING forum. I found this forum about a month ago and have spent at least an hour a day here reading. I have learned so much already its crazy.

Anybody have any ideas on a reasonable substitute for old KM84 SDC mic. I really like the sound of this mic om acoustic fiddle but dang they are pricey and hard to find in good condition. I really like the unhyped top end this mic exhibits.
I've tried the KM184 and it is not the same beast at all. Any clues on a reasonably priced substitute SDC mic ?
