Hi,
I record a lot of my own samples for slicing and cutting up in Reaktor / Max / Ableton. I record mainly guitars through amps (with / without effects), percussive noises (including hits from around my house) and other acoustic instruments (ukuleles etc...).
At the moment I'm borrowing mics, but I want to buy my own.
I have two choices:
Buy one really good quality mic, the SE Z5600a Tube Mic
OR
Get an SM57 and a condenser mic - maybe something like the SE3300a or something from the Rode NT series (recommendations appreciated!).
What would be the best option?
I know a tube mic will give a real warmth and character to my samples, but will I get better overall results with two mics?
