Hey, well while I am stuck in the very cheap pro-sumer (not even Shure if I am this high :o ) I figure I might as well make the best of it. I am looking for duel purpose mics for overheads, acoustic guitar, and vocals. Well thats three things but close enough. I have narrowed down the mics to either a R0DE NT-1A or a couple of Oktava MK319's.

hello i,m looking to hire a mic for recording a gibson j30,nice sound but the mk012,s i,m using arent really doing it .i,m thinking along the lines of a large condenser possibly a u47...what do you think,the Gibson is not loud and like most Gibsons curved away in the mids,I,m strumming with my fingers and want something big and warm sounding...oh the last thing,i,m going through a Sebatron pre

I just bought a Sanken CU-44X microphone with it's
power unit(P-44X). I don't have the 4pin XLR cable.
Does anyone know anything about these mics? Seems like nobody uses them, just wondering if this is worth keeping? Meanwhile I have to find the right cable to try it out.

I'm still dealing with the live recording vocal mic selection delima. We went with a beta 87a - and its a great mic - but not in this case. I think its thinning his voice out too much. (two examples) http://hummel-plum.com/ftp/tim/11s2.mp3 (slower song - quieter vox level - b87a)

planning to buy the sure KSM27 studio mic. The specs sound pretty good for my budget. If anyone has used this mic would be cool to hear what you have to say. Primary use is for vocals.

Price is not an object! I sing my songs and record a steinway grand piano all the time. I feel that it is time for a magor upgrade in quality. I know preamps are just as important but I think I have that covered or at least enough to experiment with a nice microphone. Any suggestions.

Read a nice suggestion for recording a
guitar-combo (Twin Reverb) with an omni, determining the balance of direct & room
with the distance to the cabinet.

I guess a LD condenser in omni-mode could be suited but if we want to stick to a dynamic mic, which not too exotic types would be suited ?
I'm not familiar with omni dynamics.

Thanks,

At times, I'd like a less focused sound out of my acoustic guitar than the SRO's and NT1000 gives me.

Any suggestions for good quality dynamics that work well on steel string acoustics?

seems like some cad and sennh. mics are well liked.

Im lookin to get a new micpre.Instead of askin which one I should get I want to hear them fer myself but I cant afford to buy them and return them.It would be great if I could rent different ones for a day or a few days and try them out on my own recordings before I spend my moneys.Anywhere in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area would be close enough fer me.THANKS RODNEY

I will be recording an accapella group of 4 singers at the same time in my small studio space and am wondering what I can do to avoid mic spills to other mics. Any tips will be appreciated.
