I'm not exactly new to home recording, but that doesn't mean I'm very skillful just yet. I do feel, however, that some of my equipment is holding me back. I currently use a pair of Shure PG81s for overheads, but despite careful placement, they are not capturing the kit as nice as I would hope. I intend to replace much of the close mic'd drum sounds with Drumagog, so I really want to get a nice overhead sound. I don't really want to spend more than £400 on a pair. Is this a suitable budget for a significant upgrade on the PG81s? The only mics I've looked at so far are a matched pair of S.E. Electronics SE-3As. I don't really know alot about microphones, but these are a matched pair, and I was under the assumption this is a good thing.
Another option I've been thinking about is buying another AKG C2000b. I already have one, so it would make financial sense to buy another and use those as overheads. I am a little unsure about this though, as reading through this board, it seems I would be better off working with small diaphragm microphones rather than large.
But anyway, thanks if you can help me.
