Alright I have basically two questions here:
I have very limited mic knowledge. I went into Tom Lee the other weekend and was looking at getting a single sm 58 for recording. The sales guy led me to this Se electronics 1000a condenser mic he said would work better for recording if only using a single microphone. Well it turns out my fast track USB does not have phantom power so that is not working. I am aware that you can get the phantom power boxes but I guess now I'm wondering what's a better route to go. I've read that condenser mics can distort with loud drums and guitar, is this true?
Would I be better off getting a sm58 if only using a single mic or what is going to work better. Also, is there any way with the fast track USB to plug in more than a single microphone through an adapter or something. If not what would be the cheapest way to do that? Thanks.
