Just me setting up a really small bedroom studio, on a pretty tight budget. I need to record vocals, acoustic guitar, jembae-type drums and occasionally a string instrument. I've got an M-Audio AudioBuddy Preamp, and a Behringer FCA202 interface, neither of which are terribly good, but they do the job and they were cheap. Yay.
All I've got access to mic-wise at the moment is 5x Shure SM58s, that I borrow from the Church. I need to get one, hopefully two instrument mics to go with these, and they'll need to be versitaile enough to record the above listed instruments. The SM58s are fine for vocals, but not alot else.
To give you an idea of price range, I'm skint basically.. I've been looking at the Behringer C-2's - these are very cheap - a matched pair for RRP £54, but normal internet price is around £40. From the reviews I've read, these are pretty good mics, at an amazing price - just what I need. Although, I could afford to spend a little more money on them if it'll mean I'll get noticably higher quality recordings.
Remember, the mic quality doesn't need to be incredible because I'm running them through a cheap preamp and interface.
Any recommendations? Do the C-2's sound like a good option? Or am I worthwhile spending a little extra money?
Any ideas welcome,
Cheers,
Andy
