AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

I can't find the size anywhere on the net.

In a previous topic, someone mentioned that the AT2020 has only a 1/2inch. This mic seems to be the same thing, but with a pad and rolloff. I am guessing it has the same size diaphragm, but I don't know.

Is having the roll-off and pad worth an additional $50?

Any help?

Hey guys, I'm trying to mix an R&B track, something in the vain of Usher / Beyonce.

Do you guys know of any good tutorials or places to get pro advice?

Thanks!

Does anybody know anything about how they achieved the thunderous guitar sound on the early Duane Eddy records?

First, a clarification.

Hello people, I am wondering from sometime now why when I turn on or off the phantom power on my Avalon 2022 for my AKG 414 BXL II it gives 2 or 3 signal hits for over +3 dbs, an then settles. They work great together, but always behaves the same manner after turning on/off its phantom +48 power. Is this normal, sometimes in the powering of the +48 signal says hello this way?.

Metallica was king of big guitar sounds. They were the first to make it sound REALLY BIG! They used like 8 marshall 4x12, with various mics and a huge tent cover to enclose the sound. The guitar sound you hear on the black album is clean, crisp and dint require a whole lot of dubbing.

I have an acoustically treated room. I am using a PreSonus Firepod. I have an SM57 and are using a variety of guitars and amps. I have also used more mics and different mic placements. I just can't seem to get the guitar to sound big on my recordings. This is much more evident the more distortion I use.

So I am in the market for some new gear (thank you tax return).
What I am having a hard time wrapping my head around is weather or not to go with PreSonus (high enough quality for a home studio set up) or an RME 800 (with the intention of getting into acoustic performances, every thing from jazz bands to orchestrations).

I have a gig (almost) booked to record a good, but smallish choir in a large concert hall. It will be 25-30 adult voices - SABT. This will be my first recording in a "big-boy" venue. It is a closed session, so the hall will be essentially empty.
