Hi,
I tried to A/B some mics at the local stores but they never let me A/B
all at once so here i am. I am assembling a small home studio in a house
we rent so it is not acoustically treated.
I want principally to be able to record my acoustic guitars and Male and
Female voices. (I'll record Violin / Sax but not a priority right now
although if the same mics could work that would be great).
Music Style ranges from Folk, Pop to Rock.
So far i have:
Monitors: Dynaudio BM6A
Audio Interface: TC Konnekt 48
Budget: up to $200-800 but of course the less i spend the better as this is
a hobby
What do you think of the following combinations?
CHOICE BUDGET:
- Vocals: Studio Projects B1, $119.99, KEL
- Guitars:
Shure SM81, $349.97
OR Studio Projects C4, $360.00
OR anything cheaper like the Shure SM57?
CHOICE MORE HIGH-END: (is it worth it?/will we hear a difference?)
- Vocals: Audio-Technica AT4050, $480.00
- Guitars: ??
CHOICE : MORE PERSONALITY??: (again worth it?)
- Studio Projects TB1, $299.99
- Studio Projects T3, $599.99
- BLUE Bluebird, $299.99
- BLUE Baby Bottle, $499.97
- Audio-Technica AT4047/SV, $549.97
I don't think that would fit into my budget but would you recommend to
add a better pre-amp? What about the Studio Projects tube pre-amp?
Thanks in advance for your feedback
