So this is what I have right now:
2x RODE NT2-A's
1x AKG D112
1x Shure SM57
1x Audix i5
1x Sennheiser e609
I might be getting a much better job soon, so this might be a good idea to start investing in more mics, in the hopes that I can actually start up my studio as a business with clients. So this is what I'm thinking I should get in the short term (next 3-6 months):
1: A good vocal mic ($750-1000 USD price range)
I'm thinking large diaphram condensor, definitally a tube mic. I've been interested in the RODE NTK or the K2, but I have read that they sound harsh unless you change out the tubes, something I would rather not deal with. Do you have any other suggestions? I want something that would be well rounded, but geared more toward male rock vocals since I think that's where most my work is going to be.
2: A second bass mic
I'm for almost certain I'll be picking up the Audix D6 for this one.
3: Another 'workhorse' mic
Thinking of picking up another 'workhorse' mic, a la SM57. I already have a 57 and an i5, I should probably pick up another dynamic mic in the $100 range. I'd rather get another make if I could. Any suggestions here?
