• Blue Spark

For $250 you could also have a Michael Joly MXL 603.

seeing as the OP has looked at LDC's, i'm just gonna add some more of them;

sE X1 and sE2200a
Gauge ECM-87
Avantone CK6

tbf, the three you've already looked at they'd all work fine so it'd help everyone if you gave us some more details; what are you planning to record? Have you any particular kind of sound you're looking for, i.e bright, clear, warm, dark etc

 

[Dot]

AROD, what are you recording? Any info about the rest of your system....

 

[AROD]

I'm planning on recording in between pop and acoustic music.
-Vocals
-Acoustic instruments
And looking for a warm sound.

 

[AROD]

I'm planing on buying a

Interface:
Presonus audiobox 2x2 or an AkaiPro EIEpro

My guitar is not that bright nor bassy is king of in the middle
Vocalist:Soprano but not that high

DAW: Cubase 6 elements (in the meantime cause Protools is very expensive)
And in the future planing on a cajon.

Oh yeah, and if you want some studio "improvements" and a free Rode NT1A ( With stand and pop filter and foam blocking out background noises ), check this video out.


Cheers,
Darren.

What is the room/environment like, that you will be recording in? This could change what it is you want to purchase.

Always with the right ? at the right time jimmy lol get out of my head lol

AROD, good to go with the Rode NT1-A, good on the akai, not so good on the PreSonus interface why not get a Focusrite Saffire PRO 14$249 its alot better interface or you can go even better with an Apogee one its less money ($150) with GREAT! Quality and an internal mic as well. MOTU makes solid interfaces as well.

Marshall MXL 990 into a Studio Projects VTB-1. Works on everything. If you find the right deal you can get both for under $250 combined.
