My studio's finally reaching the limits of the novice equipment I've had for about the past 6-10 months. I just got a MOTU 828mkII and I now realize just how bad a lot of my equipment is; how much noise, how poor the SNRs are, how the headroom's lower than the ratings of a Sinbad special, etc. That being said, I'm movin' on up--or, at least, I will with the help of the best damned sound community on this great net of ours. I'm not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a mic /yet/, however, I /am/ looking to spend between $300 and $700. I already have a Rode NT1A (which is a great mic and very capable--recommended) and the Shure Drum Mic package (3 SM57s and a beta52), but the one condensor is just not cutting it for me anymore, especially vocally. So if you had that mic to complement say, two more condensors and you had up to $1400 to spend, what would you buy and why? I'll be using them for drum overheads as well (something about matched-pairs?) and the occasional guitar mic (I like to do all sorts of freaky things with mics). Thanks!
