hey,
im setting up a home studio and already have two LDC's for overheads and a kick mic and now am in need of a good snare/guitar cab mic.
we will be playing metal.
originally i was going to go with the sm57 but from reading on here i think i could probably do better for not much more $$. a hypercardiod mic to help control hi-hat bleed (which has been a big problem for me lately when using crappy mics on snare) would be good.
i was going to go with either the e609 or i5. the 609 would be fine micing the guitar cab but im not sure about snare. the i5 is good all around but would it be so much better on snare as to outweigh the fact that the 609 is probably better on guitar?
then i read about the m88. seems like it'd be good on snare, even kick if necessary. it is good micing guitar cabs and has good low end apparnetly which is something i like. and is even good on vocals, and all i have for vox is a spb1. plus everyone seems to have only good things to say about beyer mics.
theres a cheap m88nc that i could possibly grab for less than the 609 or the i5.
do you think this would be a good mic for im looking for? or are there better mics in the same price range that would be more suited to my needs.
if anyone has any helpful information that would be great ... thanks
