Hi all

I have a tiny evergrowing home studio that could need some good mikes other than my SM57, C3000 and MK219.
I could really use a stereo set of mikes for Micing a piano, overheads or basic location recording.

Earlier today I was making demos using my at4033 through my peavey VMP-2 preamp and Tascam 4 track and it just stopped working. I was using the preamp for the phantom power and all of a sudden the signal from the mic was cut out. The signal coming from my Audio-Technica all of a sudden just went out! SHould I send it to Audio-Technica for repairs? Does any one know the repair rates?

Hi I'm looking into buying a mic for vocals i don't have that much to spend and was looking at the AT4033. has anyone used this for vocals - if so what are your experiances. Or should i be looking at something else. Any suggestions in this price range would be great :)

Thanks
Chris

I'm debating whether or not i should buy a pair of 414's for $1200CDN. Since I already have one 4033 I would just have to buy another one and that would be cheaper. Is it worth it to buy the AKG's even though they cost a lot more?

Hi all,
I'm about to start recording a new dance project with 2 female vocalists. I owe only one mike which is Audio-Technica 4033a. I am thinking about getting RODE NTK as I heard it's great for vocals. Would this mike work for female vocal? Would it be better than 4033a? Any thoughts?

tnx,

chris

Would it be wise to purchase a U87 as the main LD condenser 'workhorse'... or have the flexibility of utilizing the TLM 103 AND the AT4033? (I know I could get 2 of each for the price of the U87!)This is an important decision for me; my business partner and I will be opening up our 24 track digital studio (Mackie D8B/HDR) by the end of September, and this is the only gray area...

Hi! My subject pretty much sums it up. I've been using AT 4041's for this application but thought I'd like to try a LD condenser and since I already own 1 4033 I was thinking about picking up another and trying them instead. Any of you folks using/have used 4033's in this manner? If so how do you like them as drum OH mics? Thanks very much in advance!

I have been looking for a decent set of overheads. I almost narrowed my search down to getting some AT4033's off of eBay for just over $400. But I kept looking back at AT's site seeing the AT3035. They seem to look better (on paper at least) than the AT4033 and you can pick them up for about 100 clams less.

What do you guys think?
