Good luck with the Rode Sabith. I love my NT-2.

Don't try to do too much with it though. You didn't pay enough for it ;)

Sorry about the double post. Navigating this site can be a bit of a pain some days!
 
Regarding the Composer: check the +4/-10 switch on the back. Perhaps you're not sending it enough level?
 
hehehhe... I'm dumb

I had the passthrough switch on.... so the compressor wouldn't do anything no matter what I did.... hehehe but itz working great now!

Thx AGAIN!
 
Hi folks,I have a CAD Equitek E300 is this any good,sounds great to me.Of course my hearing aint what it used to be,a Les Paul a Vox AC30 and a Marshall 100 watt took care of that along time ago.
 
AT 4033a nuff said. If you have not used it try it. I am not saying its the best but for that price range it rocks.
 
Ribbon mic, eh? C'mon, cut Sabith some slack. He's trying to get straight answers, and doesn't yet have a condenser mic. Don't confuse the issue further by bringing up ribbon mics.

Sabith, I have to recommend the NT1 as well. It was my first large-D condenser, and I LOVED it. Still do. But listen and compare first. Not all capsules are created equal!
 
I beg to differ on whether you can get a versatile mic for $200. The AKG C1000 is a VERY versatile mic, and I can use it for MANY different applications. I have 2, in fact ... Use it for guitar (acoustic and electric), vocals (backing, mostly), cymbals (overheads and hats) ... I've used for almost everything really, save for very high SPL applications.

Also, some of you may think I'm nuts (which of course I am) but I LOVE how the NT1 sounds miking a guitar cab VERY close. Stuffed. Not necessarily at high volume levels ... I like to use a Crate VC20 run into my Randall cab with old (OLD!) Peavey speaker made in Mexico ... But it works as well with Celestions. I can get a very usable sound with just the NT1 and some EQ, and I'm very particular about my guitar sounds (being a guitar player).
 
I beg to differ.
You CANNOT (IMHO) get a more versetile mic than an Oktava MC-012 from The Sound Room only in ANY lower price range and probably only a hand-full in ANY price range above.

I have 2 C1000s (for almost 5 years now) and they are probably the least versetile mics I've ever used.

But don't get me wrong, I still use them very often. But just as a last resort when I absolutely know know I want a condenser and I'm already using them all or when nothing else I have seems to be doing the trick. For whatever reason, I still seem to prefer a C1000 on an upright a lot of times; go figure.
