Greets my good friends, it's been a while.
I'm looking for a new microphone since mine sucks badly, so I can hear myself singing through it I need to max out gain and that ruins my voice and the track itself.
So I've checked the local stores and these are the mics I'm trying to choose between, my budget is 100€ so it can't go much farther than that.
For what I learned I think what I'm looking for is an omnidirectional condenser mic.
Because I aim mainly to record voice and guitar but also explore other sounds, like in a video bellow that was recorded with JTS mics were a man uses car sounds in his music. I want to use things as such, maybe build a cajòn and use it or simply glasses with water... I dunno whatever comes to my mind when I'm inspired. (and of course not forgetting the ol' faithful sounds of a good guitar or keyboard)
here's the prices and brands (the prices are in €)
(my favourite so far) jts js e1
price: 81€(mic) + 11(pop killer) + 31 (those little things that hold the mic I forget the name)
Audio technica at 2020 (sounded pretty cool too but it's more expensive)
preço - 120€
M audio Nova[url] (125€) (couldn't give it a try due to the store's policies)
[url=http://www.homestudiocorner.com/2009/07/22/akg-d5-vs-shure-sm58-audio/]AKG D5 vocal - 85€ (the salesman claims its good for not only voice but instrument recordings.)
I'm almost decided to buy the JTS, mostly because I liked the way it sounded when I was in the store and the video bellow, sure the recording conditions won't be the same as I have and in here, my house and my "little personal studio" will sound different.
But my idea is that an omnidirectional mic will allow me a sound closer to "reality"
but then again I was also told that if my room as bad acoustic that will ruin the recordings for me...
this is smth a little hard for me... I don't want to make a wrong decision since it's a lot of money involved. But I've been trying to compose things... and make some video songs, but I've just been plain busy running around either looking for the mic or whatever. I just want to buy it as quick as I can but I don't want to take a decision I might regret. I think I' aiming at making stuff like this but longer, more complex and with better quality.
some of the videos I searched
M Audio Nova Vid
the video I so much spoke of a while ago.
Song 73 JTS microphones
PS: I mentioned for the musics I intent to compose I'd use random objects or a cajón for drums. I will consider vst's if that idea fails. Also for a bass sound my first idea was to use my classic guitar since it somehow similar to a bass (with some effects and all) but I might also consider Vst's for a bass.
thanks for reading and hope you can help me out choosing a mic.
Have a good one.
