I took everyones advice and planned to buy the best mics I could afford. I was thinking about buying two akg 414 uls and a neumann t 193. The guy at the local music store says those are great mics but why spend the money if you dont have to. I told him that I am going to be recording acoustic guitars, bass, vocal and light percussion. He suggested the ShureSM81 for guitar and the KSM27 for vocal. My set up is made up of a 16 channel mackie CR1604, adat xt 20, rnc compresson, tc-m-one reverb. He says that you will use the sure mics until the day you drop dead. So basicly he is telling me that in home recording one cant really tell the difference between a 300 dollar mic and a 1000 dollar mic. Any comments here?
