Hi everyone,
There's a closeout store near my work that has a new MXL R144 ribbon for $49.99. I currently have zero ribbon mics and zero experience with them. Would this be an ok introduction the world of ribbons? Is it worth the money? What would I find it best suited for?
I have plenty of condenser and dynamic mics, so I'm not looking for something that will sound great on anything I put it in front of...I would just like to have a couple of ribbon mics to add to my locker. They only have one at this store, so I'd likely purchase another from MF to have a matched pair. I primarily record rock (of various styles) and folksy stuff. I record full drum kits, acoustic stringed instruments, amped guitars, etc...so surely, it would come in handy from time to time, right?
