I am currently trying to add to my home studio. I am using Pro Tools MP9 and I am recording pop/rock music (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, drums, vocals). As of right now I have one microphone and it is the Shure SM57 dynamic microphone which i've been using for pretty much everything. I am looking to buy a new microphone. The problem is that I am only willing to spend up to $200-$250. I am currently leaning toward buying a built in stereo condenser microphone, specifically the MXL V67Q Stereo Condenser Microphone. When I purchased the Shure SM57 I had not done a lot of research and while it is a good microphone, it is not very versatile and was not the best choice for my situation. Advice on what kind of microphone I should purchase next would be greatly appreciated. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the built-in stereo feature? Is there any microphone that would somehow compliment the features of my current Shure SM57 microphone?
