Hey, sorry this is my first post haha.

I'm building my own professional studio now, after some time of working with budget equipment.

But I'm looking at both the MXL Genesis and the Mojave M-201 FET.

Could anyone steer me in the right direction of which would be most worth the money?
 
You might try the search button on the forum. If that doesn't work you might try a music store near you and try both of them out for yourself and make your decision from their.

I'm not entirely sure what you meant by searching...Call me stupid lol,
But I normally don't use forums.

And there aren't any Musical shops anywhere near where i live, or in a good 45 mile radius for that matter. At least, none that carry anything high end.
 
Also, my voice is a low, raspy.
I'm more so wondering which mic would adapt best to it's characteristics.

^Maybe that will help?
I don't know, just trying to get the best advice I can! haha
 
Towards to top of the page slightly right to the center there's the word search. Click on it and it works a lot like google.com or yahoo.com or bing or ask or lots of things. But it only searches this site. (in theory)

I'm not familiar with those mics myself. Your myspace page takes forever to load, but it looks like you're in wisconsin. Worst case you could always take a trip into Chicago. Although you're probably on the far side of the state for that. Unfortunately my dialup connection does NOT suit the streaming options there to hear much of anything from you.

You're probably looking for a guitar center, rock-n-roll rentals or other similar place near you. infospace.com and yellowbook.com and other sites can probably help you find a fairly local store +/- 60 miles. Depending on where you live, you might be a few blocks away. Not likely if you don't live in/near a megalopolis. But you never know until you look.

It looks like Fond Du Lac is bigger than I thought. A number of studios there, if they have the mics, you might rent them first. Give them a whirl. It looks like all of the big-ish names ended up being karaoke services. Not much luck finding gear there in all likelihood. Looks like Appleton is the nearest Guitar Center. According to infospace.com not the only source, and not always accurate / current. But a start.

I wouldnt call any of those mics high end...pretty decent starter mics maybe.
 
Thank you for a helpful response Shadow.

As far as I know, there's only one studio in Fondy?
And I work with them, but their mic catalog is a little limited right now.
I'm actually helping to expand that, with one of these mics.
 
There were a lot of places that "looked like" studios in the infospace results. Although they could just be karaoke / DJ services too. I just searches on Music and Fond Du Lac, WI at infospace.com. Which forwarded to yellowbook. I guess everyone bought everyone out these days. Google owns youtube. I wonder who owns twitter now?

Anyway, there should be a number of places to sample / borrow gear. A lot more than I expected. Although when I lived up yonder for three months you seemed to have a bar for every ten places of business. Which is fine in my book. But of the dozen or so that I sampled, only one had a live band. And two or three of them were rather hard to distinguish from semi-normal / non-bar places. i.e. no neon signs, no dim lighting, no marking of any kind on a rather large door. A nice place to trollip through on foot during the summer months. Although I was more towards Kenosha. A slight stint in Milwaukee, not quite as nice of a place IMO. But if they've got three+ cyclists shops, there has to be a music store there abouts.
 
Of course you can...we have the Musicians friend distribution center here...they have a huge store there with all thier returns and you can buy the new stuff.
Just find out where the distribution center is and go there.

A Tale of Two Mics.:rolleyes:

A $100 mic can wind up sounding better for your partucular application than a $1000 mic. You don't know until you experiment.

Not really a voice of reason. Just someone who has relocated a lot to stay employed. And I have had to find things without the aid of local knowledge. Hence all of the bar activity, because there in lays local folk with local knowledge. And time to talk about that stuff. And various other web sites (used to work in information technology) that help in that regard as well. Would still work in IT, but there's not much market for those skills (or the skills required are skills that I don't want to have ASP, C#, VB, ...). I already have enough worthless skills DOS, COBOL, ISPF, ICCF, JCL, HLASM, PL/B, .........
