Great forum. I have learned a lot by reading your posts but I am now trying to put something together. At this point can't see the forest through the trees.
I am a hobbyist and I will only be recording myself for the most part. I am buying a korg d1600 and a pair of event ps6 monitors. I own a Shure beta 58 dynamic mic. I will be recording a variety of electric guitars, bass guitars, steel string guitars, nylon string guitars, drums, and an acoustic bass. My voice is in the tenor range (but limited) and not particularly big sounding.
My mic budget is about $350+or-. I am thinking a studio projects C1 for vocals...it seems like the consensus is that these are warmer sounding than the B series and might add a bit of thickness to my voice. I also need mics to record the acoustic instruments (I figure the shure will be okay for micing amps). Perhaps a pair of marshall 603s? Or perhaps a Studio projects B3? I also read praise for CAD mics.
Since its only me playing I suppose a stereo pair of mics is the most i will use at one time. The goal is a decent vocal sound and flexibilty on recording the instruments. Am I on the right track?
Thanks for your help.
