Which mic should i buy to make the difference?

[Yeeeessssss]

Recently, I've been using two usb mics (Samson C01U and C03U). I decided to break away from the habit of getting USB mics and bought an interface, some software, and now im looking for a good condenser mic. Yes, i know, don't spend $500+ and your mind won't be blown. Im really looking for a condenser mic that would make a difference from the usb ones and im trying to keep it under $200. I would probably end up using it for more than vocals, and would also try to record overhead drums, acoustic guitar, trumpet, and electric and bass amp's. Can anyone recommend a mic for me?

Some things you may want to know:

Interface: PreSonus AudiobBox 22VSL

DAW: Studio One Producer


Take a look at this other thread for mics im going to choose from

Used Oktava 219 or 319. Found all day long within your budget.Though I'm not sure about use for bass amp. Have not tried that personally.

I get a lot of use out of my mk219s.

One mic for everything in that budget? Maybe a CAD M179. Multiple patterns may help you find what works best for you. If you don't like it, I'll buy from you for $100. I could use another.

I woulda suggested the audio technica 2020 (non usb) for the cheaper mic route as far as vocals. But i have worked with the cad m179 in the past. good mic, made excellent recordings with it. prolly ur best choice seeings that u wanted to recordi instruments as well. How is it working out for you?
