Next purchase, the Steven Paul 1" condensor whenever it hits the market.

Just watch out for the 2K inverted oscillator on the 10 PIN. They give a nasty kick back if you're not properly grounded!

 

[Bob A. Vader]

nothing right now

but i am going to buy a SM57 in the next couple of days

 

[tntkemp]

The SM57 is a great place to start. It's great for vocals, snare drums especially, but any other drum component, guitar and bass amp micing, and other instrument micing. Everybody should have at least 2.

 

[Bob A. Vader]

i got my SM57. Although the sales folks at guitar center downplayed it so much i am not so sure(no pun intended) about it now.

i have not had the chance to really record on it...but i did check my vocals on it..and it sounds pretty nice

The only mics I got rid of were a pair of Shure SM 94s. I liked them, but they were lacking a little in the high range, so I sold them and upgraded to the AT 4041s.

My next 2 mic purchases will be a Sennheiser 421 and another LD condensor - I'm thinking either a Studio Projects or an Audio Technica.

I started with a behringer xm2000s, its not the greatest mic, as in so far I haven't found the ultimate use for it...I'm thinking kick drum. But many kudos to behringer for offering at the very least affordable stuff, or I might not have ended up consumed with this really weird gear lust.

I have also recently aquired an SM58, oh yea baby...and a pair of ECM8000's, for the price again, I don't think someone can go wrong. I'm not going to expect wicked results mind you, but having these condensors on hand beats the alternative...none .

It's good not to get your hopes up about the ECM 8000s, I guess, but they're so good on loud percussion sources. You will not be dissapointed if you use them for drum overheads or tamborine. Other sources are little bit iffier because of their self noise.

 

[Mark7]

I voted 6-7, though I only have four but I do have two on order.

The four I have are:

AKG D321
Sennheiser MD421 II
Beyer M99
Beyer M201

And I'm expecting a pair of Behringer ECM8000s

I also have an original Tandy (the name wot Radio Shack called themselves over here) Realistic PZM that I cut the 1/4" plug off of, but I haven't gotten round to putting on the XLR I was going to replace it with.

80$canadian=a coffee american

nah no hopes up here, it would be insane I think to get that much hope out of something so inexpensive. I am finding that they aren't really horrible for acoustic guitar
