    Need advice on a good mic to buy!

    I got (blind) the C1000S - I'd get it again... I bought myself a small Project-Studio -starting from scratch -. For the while living in Africa I could test NOTHING, so I bought lots of stuff blindly, like as a main mic (Vocals, Ac-GTR, even trumpets or saxes) the C1000S just by the specs and/or...

    Mixing Excitement ?

    I agree, something happens underneath. Besides the suggestions from the others, there are somethings I plan already in the recording stage, exactly with the philosophy: "I know this won't be heard, if at all..., but it will be there..." For example -special sound effects just at certain points...
