Members maiden_fan Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looking for a mic to mix with my SM57 for guitar tones and to use for doing vocal takes at home when my band is writing. I don't want to spend loads of money, but I will spend what it costs to get decent quality. What would you guys recommend? I have looked at these so far: http://www.dv247.com/microphones/se-electronics-x1-project-studio-rf-bundle--68612 http://www.dv247.com/microphones/se-electronics-se2200a-project-studio-rf-bundle--81919 http://www.dv247.com/microphones/rode-nt1-a-complete-vocal-recording-solution-plus--flexi-screen--68609 Any recommendations?

Members P. Wallace Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Audio Technica AT4050. I picked one up on eBay for 250 dollars american. It's a well endowed mic and will incite a boner riot in your trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 honestly, for cheap-- an mxl v67g. $99 and soft spoken enough to not rip your teeth out. works really well as a drum overhead, and it rounds out the top end nasties. i use two of them in and amongst much better mics, and they're a great flavor to put in the mix. girthy and not super bright. i didn't expect much-- but they're also a decent mix of good definition and a slightly dirty presentation-- we put it up against an sm7, a heil pr30, and a rode nt1 for one particularly guttural male vocalist, and we liked it best. go figure.

Members Bee_Gee Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 The Rode is a good mic, my last band recorded vocals with it and they came out well and took to eq pretty nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
