Any input?

I reside in Norway. I prefer to order from a Norwegian store, because if I were to order from abroad, and the price tag exceeds around €20, then they will toss on customs, which will significantly increase the final price. The only moving I do is between two homes, a 10-15 minute drive apart. I...

I need a microphone stand, and would like to buy one that I can use on my desk, something along the line of the one used here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcB3s8KOk4w Any suggestions here are welcome, because I am very unfamiliar with stands in genereal, and especially this type. I also...

When going with a pair of microphone, would you recommend going with a stereo bar or a second stand? I certainly wouldn't mind.

Whoa, I'm honoured. Never had someone quote me in their signature before. Not entirely certain on what grounds, though—did I make myself seem like a fool? Would that I could. Everything Norwegians buy from abroad above 200 NOK ($30~), including delivery costs, is subjected to customs, and the...

ecc83: I quote prices in dollars brcause the vast majority of people on the Internet can relate to the dollar currency to at least some extent. $200 probably makes more sense to you than 1230 NOK. I am obviously aware of the fact that there is no single mic that can do it all. The same applies...

What exactly are the benefits of using two mics over one? Recording in stereo? Ideally, I want to run with one. My room, and any room in the house, has standard treatment, that is no treatment specifically for sound. Currently, at least. I use a MacBook Air. The country I live in is more...

Bump. I could still need some input here. Just to sum things up: I myself have been looking at microphones such as Audio-Technica AT2020, Røde NT1-A and Shure SM57. Main usage areas: Classical guitar and piano. Very occasional uses: Vocals, and possibly voice-acting, violin, oboe. Suggested...

Exactly, I bought it because I was upgrading the audio on my computer, and it's a good sound card. Bought it along with some Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones. Not sure whether the audio interfaces here provide better sound quality in the computer card's own area, though, but it can't possibly be...

I may not have put enough emphasis on the first part. The vast majority of the recordings will be of classical guitar, with the piano not too far behind. The other usage areas I mentioned are a very small minority. I'm currently not sufficiently savvy on microphones, so can you elaborate? What...

Good evening. I am looking for a microphone that will do well with classical guitar and piano for the most part, though I will record steel-string guitar and possibly also vocals every once in a while as well. In addition to this, I will do voice acting in the not-so-distant future, and I may...

Yup, I did, but I'm not necessarily looking for microphones under $100, like I said in the original post. I was especially wondering whether either of the two microphones I brought up were good for my particular situation.

I have read most of the stickies, but I didn't find much suiting my situation. This is the closest I found, although it was posted ten years ago, so I'm not sure whether it still applies: I am currently looking for an entry-level microphone to record classical and acoustic guitar, with...
