Thanks for the reply, LJGuitar
I've found some other threads to read through here and finding lot's of info. One question is how much difference between the AT2020 & AT2035, seems like the 2035 has less noise.
But another very interesting mic came up, and odd name but curious features. It's the Golden Age Project FC3 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone, anyone use these? I am interested by the different patterns available at the change of a switch. Cardiod, Omni and figure 8. There are some micing techniques I've seen on some Youtube videos with a figure-8 and a cardiod mix that looks intriguing. Not sure how good this mic is otherwise, though, doesn't seem to be a typical one being used as I'm not finding a lot of info on it.
