Mikey, Not off topic at all. The entire Midnight Blues series fits under this thread as they are one of the better budget lines of microphones. I found the MB3000L for sale here. Audio-Technica Mb3000L Cardioid Microphone | Low Price Guaranteed | BROOK MAYS orders@brookmays.com So you can see...

Mikey, You're right, that is a good sounding vocals mic. It works well with your semi raspy delivery. Very detailed. Nice song too. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Hi, A friend of mine had a Shure 55 (I think) the famous Elvis mic that his dad used to sing through in the fifties. The foam was gone and the cartridge would actually rattle in the case. I got foam for ball mics from speakkerrepair.com very cheap and I cut a couple of them up and pieced the...

Hi, They have one listed now at $160 with 4 days left. I'm glad I got mine when I did. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Yeah, and having a great drummer like Luke Reed didn't hurt the drum sound either. I have added more sound dampening to my drum area since I recorded the Blues CD and I like it even better now. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Yeah, when I heard John Shepherd's lyric "Johnny was my best friend" I thought he was talking about Johnny Walker Red. But later her told me it was a reference to staying up late and watching Johnny Carson. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Samsonite Hi, I buy vintage Samsonite luggage for a buck or two at yard sales and thrift shops. Light, stout, a variety of sizes. Of course they don't usually come with foam. I also buy little zipper bags for a quarter or fifty cents for the mics I buy that don't come with bags. Yes, I'm...

MXL mics for $60 Hi, Here's a nice thread with some good values listed. https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/microphones/best-60%24-mxl-mic-253848/ Thanks, Hairy Larry

cyrano, Yes you can get better buys from individuals. Ebay has many experienced microphone buyers that know their value. Since I bid low I lose a lot of auctions, most often in the last minute. Still it's a kind of game to me. The fifty dollar mic thread isn't really about the exceptional...

I never thought about it as a snare mic but it's very small and I bet that helps placing it. I like the ATM25 for it's versatility. It's a good general purpose dynamic cardiod that you can try anywhere you would use a dynamic cardiod. You do need to be careful placing it in the kick drum unlike...

Samples of drums with the ATM25 on kick I haven't found out about the Jazz session yet but here's a link to my Blues CD, Lil Sonny Boy Hisself. Lil Sonny Boy Hisself : Hairy Larry : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive I used the Audio Technica mics listed above except I have an...

gframe, I usually record drums with 4 mics. Overheads, kick, and snare. Works great and really I can only assign 4 channels to drums anyway. The most recommended kick mics are dynamics. I guess the EV RE20 is the most recommended kick mic. I couldn't afford one so I use an Audio Technica ATM25...

viva, As you can see from the excellent suggestions in this thread finding affordable mics that can make good recordings is not a problem. For recording acoustic piano and guitar I can recommend the Naiant omnis. Excellent condenser mics that are inexpensive brand new. What are you recording...

sockswithshoes, I'll see if it's ok to post. I always wanted an RE20. I'm an EV fanatic. Maybe I'll get one sometime. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Hi, I like to mic drums with 4 mics. A stereo pair of overheads, a kick mic and a snare mic. This gives a stereo image of the drum kit and good control over the drum mix in post. Now I'm retired and recording is my hobby and obsession so the most famous kick mics were out of reach for me...

Akg d120e Hi, I guess I'm going to have to start at 25 buck mic thread. I just got my second AKG D120E off ebay for $23.25. The first one I bought cost me $30. These are ball mics, cardiod dynamics. I've used mine with good success for vocals and harmonica. I also put it on a guitar cab for a...

Correction AKG D321

Wow! Cool stuff. Most of the mics Elvis used on stage we are now discussing in the fifty dollar mic thread. Hey, if they were good enough for Elvis. And about the EV PL80 I have a story for you. My friend Larry Donn was setting up for a gig and he had a PL80 he was singing through. I told him I...

Interesting Hi, I'm not familiar with this mic but it sounds interesting. We've been discussing some inexpensive AT vocals mics on the fifty buck mic thread. Thanks, Hairy Larry
