I'm looking for a large diaphram tube condensor, mainly to record drums and vocals. I like to mic drums with just a (borrowed) GrooveTubes GT-1 as an overhead, and an SM-57 on the snare. I like the natural sound I get this way. Since the GT is borrowed I need to get my own mic soon.

So I'm looking to pick up a decent mic for my project studio and from reading reviews and getting several opinions these two mics come up the most as the best in my price range. Any thoughts? I'm stuck with a dbx 386 pre and a PreSonus blue tube, though of course I'll be looking to upgrade to perhaps something from UA when funds allow.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

this is a studio vocal condenser mic. anybody ever used one?

i've been using an sm-57.

is this ganna be a significant improvement to the quality of vocal recording, or should i save my money?

Just wondering about a couple of details on getting my newly acquired MegaMix system set-up/operating correctly. (...or any tips you could pass on.)

M1600 controller, IFI-8 and OPCODE Studio 4 midi controller.

If anyone has experience w/ this or similar unit, I'd really appreciate a few minutes of your time. PM me if you prefer.

Thanx,
Max

Hi All

Was wondering if anyone had any real world experience with this mic/pre combo?

Thanks in advance

Don

what do you all thik of this mic.. i got rid of my adk at51tc a little while ago and needed something to replace it.. i picked up the m9 very cheap...
i'm in the middle of building a nice studio and by all means the m9 isn't my best mic.. but i figured not everyones voice is gonna sound good on a kiwi and a u87ai.. i still have some other mics to pick up

I was in at a local dealer today and tried out about eight different vocal mics for my studio. Audio technica, RODE , Shure, Studio projects and CAD. All of the models I tried ranged between $1100 and $1300 Ausbucks list price and to be honest the two mics that stood out as sounding clean and reasonably warm were the ATM3060 and the CAD M9.

Can you tell me what it was about the M9 that made you buy it instead of say,an NTK or Audio-Technica 3060? I have found that many project studios in Australia go for the NTK's because they are considerd a standard fixture here. Not many people know about CAD gear or studio projects stuff.

If you have used any of the CAD studio mic range I would love to hear what you thought of them, particularly the M9 and the M179. Are they better than RODE Classic II and the NTK?

Hi,
does anybody have experience with a Cad maxcom Mixer? I'm looking at a 48 channel one to use with Pro Tools. I've heard a couple of good things but I can't find a lot of info on the net.

Thanks
