I heard a vibe that condensor microphones last longer than dynamic mics. But in my opinion the clipping from starting them up crashes them quicker(as I have a Audio Technica 4040 I get concerned as a beginner into recording) Is this correct? If it is would it be beneficial to put a potentiometer in the line to slowly increase the phantom power to the mic? And second question does someone suggest a cheap mic that is a good all around mic as a condensor? AT2020? or something cheaper so I'm not using my AT4040 for everything. what about the cheapest thing on amazon? Is that ok as its just for playing around with? if anyone can throw me links to the cheapest thing that does ok it would be very much appreciated.
