I have a blue 8 Ball LDC mic that cost me nothing and that I’m not very keen on.

Hi guys,

Here is a new mic shoutout that includes 3 products from microphone-parts.com
I had many questions about the mods and the DIY Kits.
Hope you can hear the subtle differences.

I'm still getting used to audio and video productions so your comments are needed and welcome.

Btw, I'm not a signer you might have guessed ;)

I couldn't find this specific topic covered.

If you choose to mention brand names, that's okay, but I'm not here to ask what kind of mic I should buy.

1-What does one typically use an LDC for? What about an SDC? And why?

I'm replacing my old crappy AT2020 with an upgrade.

I have a budget of about $500 or less. I would only use this mic for acoustic guitar and vocals
These are the mics I am currently considering:

Hi,

I am trying to make buying choise for LCD aimed at vocal (including voice-over) recordings.

I have I question.. is it common-sense that multi-pattern should cost more then their unipolar variants?

Happy New Year RO. I hope it's been a good holiday for the community.

I'm looking into purchasing a pair of MDC or LDC as an addition to my mic locker and thought I'd throw it out to everyone for some opinions and comments.

What is your favourite mic preamp for a Neumann M 149?

RODE NT5 Matched Pair for $430 (sdc condensers)

Thoughts?

Hi there

Thanks for all your advice on the other thread. I now have this purchase (2 Distressors) sorted out for the beginning of next month. So that I have adequate time to research and consideration to what I get next, I thought I'd post this kinda early.

Whatever mic I do go with, it will be going straight into a Steinberg MR816x to pt9 for awhile. (sold a Mackie onyx1220i and got this, and the mic preamp's have a noticeably better overall sound).
