I am looking for a mic or pair of mics to use for sampling.

Please, let me know what is recomended.
Is it always necassary to record samples in stereo?

If so must the mics be the same?

Good Day Folk's,

I am looking to get a mic for sample recording for use while I am out and about using my laptop.

The price range is between $250 and $350.

It would be great if I could find something that is versitile for other stuff in the studio or live recording.

300$ MAX (less would be nice)
resp: 20hz-20k
pat: hyper cardioid or super.

Also could you recommend a 200$ MAX omni or stereo cardioid for recording ambience?

:p:

I need some simple advice since I'm just recording in my basement.

1. Micing Noisy amps

2. Getting a full thick tone from a room (traps, materials, etc) and a solid state marshall w/ 4x12 cab

Don't take this like I'm asking you to tell me how to record. I know how to record, but I'm lacking some little tricks that some of you guys probably know.

These are some links to sites that have been posted here and otherplaces. I thought I would post this as I felt osme of you might find it interesting.. Happy reading... Kurt

Hi, I own a RODE Classic II Mic plus some NT5's and I wanted to get some opinions particularly about the Classic II.

I have been struggling for a while to find a suitable microphone when Micing a guitar amplifier. Could anyone give me some ideas on mics to achieve a good sound. In other words, what microphones would you use when Micing up a guitar amp?

Is any one here going to participate in this contest? I spent most of my day yesterday answering the questions. I thought it was very interesting. I especially enjoyed the audio samples questions.. Kurt

I am looking at a couple of mics:

sp-03
RODE ntk
at 4050
chure ksm 44
at 4060

which one would you recommend or have a say about one of these or which one is the best. Also which preamp would go along with them: price range: under $1500

I have a microKorg on appraisal.
I am a sucker for a presets machine and still love my JV1080's.

Has anyone spent some time with one of these ?
I'm happy so far BUT has anyone got a gut reaction to this unit and what will I regret in the future if I lay the cash down ? The sounds may date fast?
