Okay, so i am currently in the process of building a home studio. I currently have a Peavey PV8 Mixer, and im using a brand new Macbook Pro as the centre of the studio. My next purchase is going to be a microphone to record mainly vocals and acoustic guitar (maybe sometimes some electric). I cannot decide what Mic to get though. I've been looking around the £150 range. So i've looked at the Rode NTA1, the Blue Spark the SE se2200a (anyone got any other recommendations?)

An example of my vocal "type" - /watch?v=yZtV5AzQZmI (add to the end of your Youtube URL)

I will be glad to answer any questions and take any advice. Thanks
 
I'm edging towards the sE2200a because it just seems like a much more professional mic than the Blue Spark. And i've heard mixed reviews about the Rode :/
 
Blue doesn't make bad mics.
Just like Yamaha doesn't make bad anything.
They just don't.
Nothing wrong with your choice though.
 
I've seen a write up about the Se microphones and I was surprised at the craftsmanship of the hand built microphones in their factory unlike most others that are machine made.
