If a few could include about five, I bought an ADK 6 with shock mount, screen, case and cable that I think records guitar and vocals beautifully

The the AT2020 is available here at $54: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=REG&A=details
That's a widely respected mic at a very attractive price. Fran

I second the AT2020, or any of the other low-end AT mics. I'm no pro, but have been happy with their quality and sound for my own purposes.

I don't think that the BR800 has phantom power so, to use a condenser microphone you will need an interface that provides the required power. I use a mixer board but, there are other options available. If you do not have a way to supply power to the mic, then you will have additional cost to obtain it. Otherwise, you will need to use a dynamic mic such as a Shure SM57 or 58.

Otherwise there are a few fine medium diaphragm condensers that have self-power capabilties such as the AKG C-1000 or Rode NT-3. I have both and prefer the NT-3: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NT3 |

Is your recording room acoustically treated? What kind of room is it, if not? A LDC (large diaphragm condensor) mic will pick up more of the room's sound, which may not be a good thing if your room doesn't sound good.
Are you going to be recording both guitar and vocal at same time, or overtracking? There are a ton of microphone choices, and not every mic sounds good with every voice or room. I've heard of people picking up the AT2020 for $50 at GC recently. I have used an AKG Perception 220 (about $180 new) for both acoustic and vocal with good results. It has a built-in pad switch if you want to record a loud source such an amp, and also has a low 'rumble' cut switch and comes with a 'bird cage'-style anti-vibration stand mount and a nice aluminum carrying case. I have also used two GLS ES57 mics for acoustic recording and found the frequency response fairly good (no high end 'air', though) and at $40 each (I got them for $30 last year), they are a good investment and very similar to the more-expensive Shure SM57.

Sure. I own a few Rodes, including an NT1. Rode mics are great, and the NT1 is no exception, although realize it's the entry level fixed pattern Rode LDC without attenuation selection. Be aware of version history, Original NT1, then NT1-A with lower self noise, and now back to NT1 for their new and improved version withn still better signal to noise specifications. |
