Pulled the trigger on a used AKG P420 on Reverb, so now I'll have two condensers to work with, along with the dynamic mics. The AKG was $109, so I figured if I like it or the MXL better, I can sell one. I got the R8, so just got a chance to look it over. Should be fun to work with for some solo projects.
It's really amazing the quality of gear we can get these days. For less than $500, I've been able to put together a full recording setup that I should be able to produce very high quality recordings with. Seems like my biggest limitation will be having a location to record in that offers good acoustics and limited ambient noise. That really is the biggest challenge, seems to me, not the equipment.
