Hey guys,
Im new here (<-- posts: 1), hopefully I wont get blasted for posting (I did a search).
I need to record four things mainly:
- Acoustic Guitar
- Baby Grand Piano
- Vocals
- Indian percussion instruments called the Tabla and Dhole which are small drums (not very loud. sound produced by striking with hand, quieter than my acoustic guitar, if that makes any sense)
Im getting more and more confused with my mic options as I go along. In one thread it says that acoustic would be better miced with small diaphragm and in another it says that piano would be better miced with large diaphragm.
I think i am going to go with entry level condenser mics. I am setting the limit to spend at about 150-160. Should I go with a more expensive mic in mono? Or two lower quality mics in stereo? After reading for quite some time I found two good options to be the Studio Project B1 (In stereo, and the mxl603 in sterio, both putting me right around my budget. Is there any other options I should consider?
I need to record all of these things with a single mic setup, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Ajay
