TonyRandall	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 10:44 PM shure mics are good, what is your budget?
shadowself	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 10:46 PM Also, which instruments are you going to be recording?
shadowself	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 10:46 PM Wow, this is an old thread.
GeneHilbert	Date: June 6, 2006 @ 12:22 AM reviving the dead..... I like to have a Neumann - this would be a nice one to have http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M149/
shadowself	Date: June 6, 2006 @ 12:24 AM Yeah me too, Gene. Oh, and I also want a pony.
zedsalt	Date: June 6, 2006 @ 11:44 AM I'd suggest a large diaphragm tube condenser, a cheap new one (they are everywhere), coupled with an expensive NOS tube or tubes (tougher to find/afford, but well worth it).

Veracohr	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 9:10 PM I'd disagree with zed and suggest you NOT get a cheap tube microphone. An expensive tube mic might be good, but a cheap one will likely be just like any other piece of cheap toob gear: crap. Regardless of the toob you put in it.
Woof	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 9:18 PM It's all subjective... that said, I feel that the Rode NT 1000 is a near-perfect home recordist's vocal mic. Just cheap enough to be within most folks' means, and just high-end enough to yield great results. Yeah, buying one smarts a little... but only a little.
imemine	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 9:25 PM A U87 would be sweet if you have $3000. I have a Studio Projects C1---$200----is it a U87---No! The law of diminishing returns apply though---It’s a pretty good mic for the money---I like it! ….and there are a LOT of Chinese U87 knock offs out there. Rodes mics are good too Woof!….and I want a pony too.
shadowself	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 9:41 PM " id="225083">I have an Apex 435. Very cheap condenser mic, but it does the trick. I'll buy a U87 when I have finished building my multi-million dollar recording studio (and am riding around in it on my pony).

shadowself	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 11:10 PM When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony, my cousin had pony, ..So, what's wrong with that?"

imemine	Date: June 8, 2006 @ 12:19 AM Awww---Kev want's a pony too! Just too much of a pussy to admit it!
zedsalt	Date: June 8, 2006 @ 11:41 AM I can't take credit for the cheap mic/expensive tube idea. I have to admit that I have yet to even try it myself. It's just a recommendation that I've read Chuck Ainley, Joe Chiccarelli, Jimmy Douglass, Eddie Kramer, Eliot Scheiner, and Bruce Swedien make.
