Hi microphone lovers! I wrote some articles and created sound clips for a bunch of microphones on Gear-Wiki. I thought I'd share the links as I hope this can be useful.

Articles:

I just joined these forums, so asking a question like this probably won't start me off on the right foot, but here goes:

I am really looking at buying an AT4050 for my home studio but i want to make sure I'll be able to use it for multiple applications, namely recording rock and softer acoustic vocals, guitar cabinets and acoustic guitars. I also have an AT3035, an sm57, Sennheiser 109e and an sm81.

I'm thinking about upgrading my mic collection and with it my preamps. Right now I have an Audio-Technica AT 3035 and a PreSonus tube pre with 2 inputs. They have both gotten me plenty of decent recording but I'm now looking to upgrade. I've been doing a lot of research and I feel pretty dead set on getting the A-designs P-1 preamp and the AT4050 mic. I use Mbox 2 and Pro Tools.

Hey everyone, been researching this last night and today.

The AT 4050 seems cool but I already have a multipattern mic(AKG perception 400)... so my main question is, is the 4040 the same thing just without multiple pickup patterns?

Plus, what is the general opinion of the T3 vrs the AT mics?

thanks

for the cost of the 4050 i could get two 4040s. is it worth the extra money?

furthermore, if i am willing to spend 600 on a new mic, are there some other good options? I am always happy to learn about a peace of gear i have never used before.

Out of the loop for the last few years. Rebuilding the studio for the next CD. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on which Mic Pre would go good with my AT4050 and 002R set up. Looking for something around $1000 for male and female vocals, acoustic guitars. 2 channel would be cool.
