Yes, that's exactly my point. Apparently, my communication skills have diminished recently, at least with a lot of the newer HR members here. A lot of this stuff is mostly made up of shades of gray; not just black or white.That is kinda of Harvey's point, if you have decent mic (especially a good multipattern mic), and you know what you are doing, you can do anything with it.
You prefer Shure over AT for that reason of multi layering ?
All condenser mics have a diaphragm. You're confusing large diaphragm condenser mics and small diaphragm condenser mics. Large diaphragm condenser mics tend to be more popular for vocals. It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing the intended use of the mic.Sorry to be such a noob, but is there a difference between a DIAPHRAM CONDENSER MIC, and just a regular CONDENSER mic? Also, I'm on a tight budget and should get a better mic off ebay soon, but only have around $50 to spend, can anyone recommend a good mic for me?
