Hi, need help selecting a mic. I live on a very busy road, in a small flat, with little potential for soundproofing. I want to record guitar and vocal at the same time, but the problem is background traffic noise. i have been using an sm58 on vocal, which has worked very well, not picked up much noise at all. But on guitar, I was using my Rode NT1, which picks up way too much noise.
I was thinking would a Small diaphram condensor mic be more directional, or would i need a dynamic?
If condensor, would a Rode NT5 be better? ( I was needing a pair for overheads anyway). I think it is still a cardiod though. Are there any suitable directional condensors?
If dynamic, I was thinking SM57, anything better for under £250?
Any input and education is most appreciated!
Thanks
Richard.
