Hello again, folks,
I've decided to go back to a mains/monitor approach, and try a condenser microphone for both girls. It will have to pick up fiddle/vocal (for both of them). I'd like to use one mic, bluegrass style, for lack of a better phrase.
I'll attach a photo of The Morris Family Band below. What I'm looking for is a recommendation for microphones to try. And though I'd like to try an AKG 414, I'm not willing to spend that kind of dough. I don't mind spending 300 bucks or so, but not 600. You probably get the idea. I did look at the AT 4040 mentioned above, which looks decent to me. Also the Samson and Rode NT1. I can't try 'em all (well, I guess I could), so I'm wondering what the differences may be.
