I just finished a quick read of Dragon's Home Recording tutorial, including his comments on microphones. Appreciated all of the tutorial.
I am looking for very specific recommendations on an inexpensipve omnidirectional microphone that will produce satisfactory results in my 4-track recording. I am an amateur musician and home recorder and do not have my sights set real high on my results.
I have been working with my Fostex 4-track cassette recorder using a Nady SP-1 mic. My tracks to this point have been usually acoustic guitar and vocal -- my own efforts in both areas, including rhythm/lead guitar and 2 or 3 part vocal. Now I want capability for recording another guitarist/vocalist along with me in sort of a spontaneous jam session. Thus, the desire for omnidirectional mic.
Can someone recommend a specific omnidirectional mic that I could buy for under $100? I have seen the following 2 mics on sale -- What about them?
Audio Technica MT830cW - $69.95
Shure 520DX - $99.95
I also have seen a Global Audio CAD HM1 on sale at $19.95 but do not know if that is omnidirectional.
All advice and comments will be much appreciated.
