I have been doing amateurish recording for about 10 years. Never was solely dedicated to it, but I did take some courses in college for music production and engineering. As a hobby I would help some friends who sang or rapped work on some music. Always worked on making hip hop instrumentals as I am more familiar with that kind of equipment.

I am looking into a versatile LDC and run into the RODE line. My goal is to have a versatile mic that will do well on vocals and acoustic guitar. I also want the variable patterns.

Please give me any personal advice, experience, or knowledge of this microphone:

RODE NT2000
