ah ok Thanks for pointing that out to me. I'll still buy it anyway, I've heard smaller diaphragms can work better on acoustic guitar. On a side note, this may be off topic but I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a studio in the Boston area that would offer an internship to an eligible...

thanks guys thanks for all your posts, I will be buying an AT 4033 as soon as the funds are right. I double checked and it is a large diaphragm by the way, perhaps you were thinking of the AT 4041? I'd like one of those too anyway hehe :). Thanks again guys, happy engineering!

Any opinions on the AT 4033? (specifically for acoustic guitar, but also for any other secondary applications) If you don't like it, does anyone have any alternative recommendations for $300 or less? The salesman at Guitar Center, Boston, suggested the shure ksm27 over it, however he did in...

From my experience shopping around for lower priced microphones (I'm actually currently deciding between a few mics in the $300 range for acoustic guitar and vocals) in very generalized terms, there aren't many mics out there for under $300 that would justify buying them instead of stocking up...

Ok, I understand what you're saying. A major point I neglected to mention is that I'll probably need these mics for coffee shop gigs and such, so I would think the MXL 2001 for example would be a little unconventional. Also I'll be going to Berklee Coll. of Music next fall anyway, where they...

Point well taken, but I don't regret getting the SMs... part of the reason I didn't go with a condenser is because I don't have phantom power and I probably wouldn't have enough cash to buy a power source on top of the $200 condenser. So I'm sorry if I insulted you all by not following your...

You don't like SMs? Keep in mind I'm working with tapes, so I'm not expecting crystal clarity. Since we're into car analogies, that would be like putting a $4000 stereo system into an old pinto.

Thanx for all your suggestions, I ended up catching a sweet price on an SM57 and an SM58, half price it came out to $110 for both of them (there's a local place that's going out of business). I figured if I can get two good mics for that cheap it's better than paying twice that for one really...

I was talking about the hot water heater, heat/air conditioning, etc. which are stationary :)

I have a little corner of my basement set up as a studio, but there's too much noise from all the appliances. I have no money left though, any ideas on household objects that would be good for sealing off my corner? I've tried hanging sleeping bags from the ceiling and it works ok, but not...

I have about $200 to spend on 1 or 2 new mics for my little home studio. All I have right now is 1 Audio-Technic Pro4L (unidirectional). My mic uses include the following: Guitars (acoustic and possibly micing the amp for my electric), Cello, Flute, Congas, and Vocals. My current mic works...

All you do is connect the line output on your 424 to the line in on the back of your soundcard. Then make sure the Line In isn't muted on your computer, hit record on your computer program, and play whatever track you want to transfer. You should get a good mix before you transfer because most...

Simple question - what kind of tapes would work best with my 424 MKII?

I have a similar problem recording with just my acoustic guitar. Palm muting creates unnecessary peaks, even distortion at times. But when I cut down the lows I lose the full sound you need for a single acoustic guitar backing up vocals. Maybe I should mic it instead? (all I have is one...
