Sennheiser MD 441 Sinxce you seem to live in Europe, it would make sense to get a Sennheiser MD441 instead of the RE20. Its a notch better than the RE20 IMHO and you can find them rather cheap on European Ebay sites.

I agree -- you need a notebook/powerbook plus external UBS/FireWire hard drive (so you you run the software off your powerbook HD, but record the audio on a separate drive ... makes your HD performance better).

I'd be very interested to hear these mics on a sax since I consider buying the RE20 to record my tenor sax. Can you tell me about your experience? Cheers!

Ahh, good point and thanks for asking: I didn't even want to go so far, but the recording with my rather inexpensive setup sounds actually better since I can now use the mic in Figure 8 pattern (the Rode NT2A allows this, the Gefell and Neumann mics which I had didn't), which opened up the sound...

Hi there -- over the past few years I had a recording setup that I considered rather high end -- for the sole purpose to record me playing tenor saxophone over tracks other guys provide. I guess I am like everyone else on this board: the best is just good enough. ;) The signal chain alone was...

I have an NT2-A which I like a lot. Way better than the AT4047 I used before, and the sonic differences to a Gefell M930 I had a while back are tiny -- and it has different patterns and a pad (-5dB and -10dB). The -5dB is the one I use a LOT. Why can't other mics have a -5dB pad? Its very...

I Bought a Rode NT2-A Thank you all for your helpful suggestions! I just got back from the music store and had a recording session at home with my new mic, a Rode NT2-A. I am very suprised how well that mic works on a tenor sax -- better actually than Neumann and Gefell mics I used before...

If you want a smooth and non-airy sound, check out the AT4047.

I have the January 2006 issue of the Remix mag in front of me with a one-page ad for the Fat Track Pro and it says in a box "Compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered 7".

Hi Kenny -- I don't have a high-quality pre which I think excludes dynamic and ribbon mics, unless you think the pres on the M-Audio FastTrack Pro interface will do the job. The SM7 is beyond my budget anyway.

Hi! I need to buy one mic for the sole purpose to record saxophone (=me) in my project studio. Unfortunately money is tight (<$250.-). Given the large number of budget mics on the market, I cannot decide. :confused: Maybe you can chime in and give me your opinion? These are the mics which I...

OK, all these discussion about FireWire/USB/buspower aside -- do you guys have any recommendations? I would like to know which units have the best sound quality. I like the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, but the Focusrite Saffire seems to have higher quality pres and converters. The Fast Track Pro is...

Hmmm, these are good arguments to go with the pro model.

I think my search is over: Guitar Center has the M-Audio Mobilepre USB plus M-Audio Aries cendensor mic on sale for $149.-. Sounds like a good deal :D

Yes, this one looks great! I also like the M-Audio FastTrack Pro. I wonder if they sound similar, or whether the "Pro" model has better pres/converters. But either one I guess would be fine for my purpose.

Hmm, that might work. However, I don't want a setup with adapters and external power supplies. Defies the purpose of a simple and mobile recording setup.

Hi -- my notebook has a 4-pin FireWire port which is unpowered. An adapter wouldn't help. Most FireWire interfaces are bus-powered.

Hi guys & girls -- I want to switch from desktop to a mobile laptop recording setup. I will only record one thing: me on my tenor saxophone. I already have a fast notebook (Alienware Sentia notebook, 2.4 MHz mobile Pentium processor 2GB Ram, external 400 GB firewire/USB drive). No need for a...

I used it with an Alesis AI3 ADDA interface.
