Thanks R.E., The 193 is what I've been leaning towards, but I must admit the Blueberry and VSM1 have gotten my attention. I've pretty much eliminated the 103 since I think the wide presence peak would be a little harsh on saxophones. Have you ever used the CAD or B.L.U.E.? Thanks again.

Thanks sonusman, I've had other people recommend that one too. I've seen a number of people use it live (especially for bari sax 'cuz of the no D). Do you have an opinion on a TLM193, Blueberry, or CAD VSM1? Thanks.

The side chain comes on compressor/gates. Make sure to use a gate that has adjustable decay rates (for this particular application). A popular inexpensive unit like the Alesis 3630 has both a sidechain and a knob to adjust the release rate of the gate. You can usually find one used for pretty...

Actually, the NT2 has cardioid and omni positions and sound great. I used it as the all purpose mic for the "Clyde's Ride" CD. Works great on vocals and horns.

The Presonus MP-20 is amazingly transparent. I think all their gear is super and clean. If you're looking for a tube sound, though, they wouldn't be the one.
