Ok, hey there everybody, what's up?
This is my first post ever on this forum, requesting wisdom on my first condenser microphone.
So the deal is this. I'm picking gear for a basic recording setup, and pretty much everything is set except one thing, which is, obviously, the condenser mic.
I'm buying on budget with microphone range being from $100-$300. And I can't decide. So I came out here to ask all the mic experts a bunch of questions. Seriously, I mean a bunch.
Uses: Primarily, vocals and acoustic guitars.
1. I have put up a poll. This is just to find out what your choice would be.
2. Any opinions on the Karma Trinity? I can't find too much about Karma microphones, not many reviews, and it seems the only place to get it is at the Karma Microphone website. Opinions?
3. I was recommended to shy from the Blue Bluebird on another forum. It seemed to be the forumite's personal opinion, but what do you think?
4. The Blue Spark is another one on the list, how does it compare to the Bluebird and the others listed above?
5. [yes, I know these are a lot of questions, I did warn you... ] The Rode NT1a. I would personally prefer the other three over looks, but function over form, right? Opinions?
6. The Studio Projects B1- I was recommended against this on another forum as well. Thoughts?
7. The ADK A6. This was recommended, not too many reviews, but not as unfindable as the Karma.
8. And last, but not least, your own suggestions. Anything you can suggest that you find to be a well performing microphone.
Lastly, I may go to Guitar Center and see if I can try out some of the condensers there and see which one sounds best to me, but I know that, obviously, the Karma won't be there, but the Studio Projects B1 and the ADK A6 also will not be there, which nearly defeats the purpose.
So now, that I've made you waste all this time reading this, if you have any suggestions, opinions, choices, etc., that would be great.
Thanks!
