Hey Harv:
I've been reading the Big Thread (I've taken a break the last couple of days), and I know that a condenser mic is good for softer/quieter sounds.
My question is the following (Don't say the MXL 990/991 combo I don't like them) for a soft male voice with Bass. What mic for $150 or less would you guys recommend? I don't want something that will take away the bass, just be able to capture the soft sound.
I'm still happy with the Sennheiser E835 that I bought, and I will continue to play with proximity effect as well as mic locations (above, level and below mouth level). However, right now I have the Gain turned to -34, the Level to 10 and the ST Out Level to 10, and I got to sit about 6" away from the mic at approximately nose level. When soloing the track it sounds fine, nice and quiet. However, the music does wash it out some. The trick that you taught me Harv works, but I'm wondering if I need a mic with more sensitivity.
Anyway, sorry for the long post.
Bottom line is what if any condenser mic you guys would recommend for $150 or less.
