Oh, $100 might not be too bad a price on it. Try it and make sure you like its sound. They usually aren't too bad, though I've only heard them on overheads...weren't bad, but weren't exciting either. They were ~259 when discontinued/replaced by the AT3035. The 3035's only $199 most places, and by all accounts is a respectable mic.

Thanks, the auction already ended. I appreciate your opinion though thanks. so listen to this though, so at the end of the auction me and this other fella had a bidding war. It went from $97 to $136 in about 45 seconds and needless to say I lost, But it gets better. then fella turns around and emails me and says if i'm interested he'll sell it to me for $185........AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

thanks

Yeah, some of the people on eBay amaze me. $185 for a 3525, when you can get the AT3035 that replaced it for $199, and get a better mic to boot? Or a SP C1 for 239 or thereabouts? Sheesh.

Sometimes a deal pops up though...

Eighth Street Music had them new until recently for $149.I have one and I like it quite a bit,at $150 new it was a good deal but everyday there are more low priced options to choose from.I use mine for vocals and acoustic and I think it has done fine on the voices and guitars I've tried it on.Not to say it would work well with any voice or guitar though.People do refer to it as unexciting but I think of it more as flat or neutral sounding without a hyped upper midrange.

get the AT3035. i did a blind test with it, and i ended up using it on a track.

awesome mic.

LongWaveStudio,

I checked out that tune, and although it's not my favorite style of music (I'm an old fart, ya know), it's an awesome recording. That could easily be a pop hit.

Since I am an old fart, is that a karaoke (I never could spell that word) version of a real pop hit, or is that a real, from-the-ground-up recording of an someone's original song?

****DISCLAIMER*** I am listening to it on a PC at work, but when I get home I'm gonna convert it to wave, burn it on cd, and listen to it on my monitors (passive Reveals) just to see if it holds up on real speakers.

Please divulge the details of the recording. (mics, pre's, medium, etc.)

Absolutely killer.

Hi dude,

lol, no karaoke there, made all of the track.

this is just the demo version though, and a rough mix. see, she's one of my artists, so we're building up a lot of demos first, then we'll go into my studio to do the real stuff.

i wont get too detailed because this isn't the correct thread, but the signal chain for the vocals as far as i can remember was at3035 to joe meek vc1 to Mackie D8B to recorder.


check the mp3 mixing clinic thread, it should still be there somewhere! it's title is "what i need".

vactastic, you wont go wrong with the mic.
