i just bought the rode nt-1a thinking thast it would be an upgrade from my samson c03. I got the rode today and hooked it up as a drum overhead. it sounds absolutely no clearer or any different from the samson. I guess i was expecting too much, but a little more clarity? I record through a yamaha mg-12 in a basement(i know this contributes to some of the bad sound). I used the mic and tried recording acoustic and vocals and it sounded a little better, but not a big enough improvement for me to be $200 in debt. Are there any mics i can get that i'll notice a definiet improvement in overhead/vocals? I'm willing to spend $200 if im imrpoving on clarity.
