Are the new AKG K240s worth buying for quiet guitar and bass guitar practice?

I made a comparison video to show the difference between the two audio options while fat biking, which I would assume can apply to more than just biking. Positives to using both. This is my first video, and I am very new to videos and audio, so any suggestions would be awesome!

I have Steinberg's UR12 maxing my Prodipe TT1. Prodipe TT1 is a lovely sweet Shure sm57 clone. It does the job very well done.

When I max TT1's gain i have noise in the background. Which is as we all well know is normal.

My question is:

Here is something I recorded yesterday with my Bluebird, the Mbox Pro and PT. Mic was about 12" from sound port. I know the BB is usually a vocal mic, it's just the only one I have atm.

Someone is coming over today with an SM57 to see if I can get it any better, but I wanted people's thoughts on this... (see attachment)

Hi everybody,

Recent lurker, first time poster! Does anybody have any experience with this guy here? Good or bad? How is the EQ? How much would you pay for one?

Ever since I have had them, I've realised they're a bit like Marmite - people love them or hate them, but I have realy liked mine, however, I sold them before christmas to an enthusiast, and I'd like to replace them. Trouble is, I really don't know what to buy.

Hi,
Any ART Pro Audio Users around?
Will you recommended an ART Preamp or Channel Strip ?

I first learned about CAPI gear on the forums. I was looking to dip my toes into the world of API sounds, not fully knowing what that meant. I had heard all the descriptors like punchy, forward mids, aggressive, tight, etc., but wanted to try it out for myself. So many great albums were done on API's, right?

I thought I might post this simply because I was reminded a week or so ago that it's not ALWAYS going to be the "go to" mic that does the job.

I have a bunch of mic choices. Lrg D condensers, sml D condensers, lrg D dynamics etc etc..AND a bunch of different mic preamps to hook these up to. In short, a decent selection and tool box that I know how to use for most situations.

So I'm working on my counting and found this.

I've got the hh part, and I'm having a heck of a time with the snare.
