Members jack harper Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I wanted a simple but great sounding way to record live guitar and vocals.

Members nuke_diver Posted March 25, 2013 Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 Agreed, nicely done. I just picked up a Condenser mic myself recently mainly for acoustic guitar and maybe as a second channel on an amped guitar (have a 57 already for that). I did use it for vocals but my singing is pretty bad so it was more for an experiment than for anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jack harper Posted March 26, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thank you, The mic was about $200, it's a very great piece of gear. between the mic, the mix, and adobe audition. I am getting some really nice professional recordings.This is my first condenser mic, once i nail the finer points i'll be making an album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jack harper Posted March 27, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yes of course there are always exceptions BUT I prefer the sensitive condenser for its range and what it brings out of my recordings. And conditions are ideal, its a studio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And conditions are ideal, its a studio I'm glad I got condenser too though I am not using it in a studio or for a record. My current set up is such that I cannot get much signal out of my SM57 while recording acoustically or on vocals without cranking up the pre and then it gets noisy so I need to get the signal by digitally boosting it with a PT plugin. It's much simpler now and I think sounds better. Yeah maybe I'll get a better preamp someday but I don't need much and spending $130 for a used MK319 seemed like a better idea than spending several hundred $$ on a new preamp and maybe new software :?
