Cool, thx! Do you happen to know how much that 1 goes for? I just want to get
a general idea and write all this down for when shopping time comes around :)

So far, I've used it for both hip hop, and church music, and I'm very happy
with it for both.

What kind of stuff do you mainly throw at it? Just about everything or are
you more into 1 genre than the other, say more hip hop, rock, pop etc...

So it's agreed that the rode nt1a is good for vocals? Somebody was trying
to sell me one of those, i heard it was good for vocals, but the sources
weren't too convincing, does any of you know from experience? I was thinking of
getting either a c1 or c3 for vocal work, of course later on i'll be expanding,
but i'm now getting into the actual recording of vocals, for quite some time
i've been doing a lot of mixing, mastering arranging and recording tracks. I
want to get something that has a nice warm feeling for general vocals. I was
thinking of ribbon mikes for the brass/winds, but not too sure on that as they
are too delicate for my taste... I know that a shure would probably do me well,
but need to consider my alternatives and make an informed decisions, get stuff
that'll work for a few various projects till i can get money to buy some more
specific mics for different types of recordings...
Regards, D!J!X!

Hi Len, Quite often its a matter of taste and who is doing the singing,
but would say the first question has to be how much money do you have to spend.
Have nothing but good things about the Rode NT1A which can be gotten for $229
which would say is very reasonable for a good quality mic. I just purchased an
NT2A which I really like so far but costs a bit more. Have always liked the AKG
414 for a little more money. Dave

Hi all. I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality vocal microphone for
myself for studio recording purposes. I hear and read that capasitor or
microphones are used these days instead of dynamic microphones and that they
use phantom power. I understand those things but now I must purchase a good
one. The shops hear don't keep stock of those kind of microphones so it is very
difficult to get one to test with. I just wondered what some of you guys are
using? I know you get mikes that are very expensive like the numan u87 and so
on but I don't have that kind of money haha. I think this can be a gnice
discussion.
Kind regards
Len Viljoen
