Hey everyone so when I first started out with home recording I had the usb Blue Yeti mic and it wasn't the greatest but it got the job done. So I finally upgraded to get out of usb and I ended up going with the AKG C214 and so far not that bad of a mic but to be completely honest it doesn't sound that much better than the Yeti....so I have decided to upgrade once again and see where that leads me but I have no idea what to get and all that good stuff. So right now I just have the mic that's plugged into the Scarlett Solo and that's plugged into my computer. I have been reading about preamps and some other stuff I cant recall and Im thinking maybe I am missing something or maybe this isnt the mic for me. I have heard many good things about the C214 but I am just not that impressed for the price. I bought it used from Guitar Center for like $300. If I upgrade will I need a preamp? Do I need an interface with two mic plug slots instead of one? What are some recommendations for a better quality mic that's still under $500?
Thanks for all your help,
Sam
