Hi all. Just opened up my new home studio and I need suggestions on which mics I should buy next. Here's what I currently own:
Shure SM57 (2x)
Oktava MK319
Rode NT1
Not a good selection (I know), but hell.. I just started buying gear in Jan once my studio was finished. . My goal is to spend the next 5-6 months practicing on my rig via laying down cheap demos for friends/local bands.
Besides the SM57s, I don't have much in the way of good quality, dependable drum mics. Should I start here?
The bands are rock/alt/metal... lots of Marshalls and crunch. Also looking for versatility re: mic selection and opinions on how to mic a Marshall to get the best sound.
I'm getting a sweet tax refund this year... little over $2k. My plan is to spend $1k on mics and the remainder on the Digimax mic pre to go along with my Digi001.
Thoughts on the mics? Or Digimax?
