<<That is almost permission to go get one, what's your next move, Wade?>>
well, Kenny, to be honest, i'm not sure and i could use some help.
part of me wants another V67 for overhead duties--i *love* my current V67 in that role and a pair of them would be nice for stereo. but that's not a burning concern as i don't record drums all that frequently, and i don't use my V67 for all that much as it is.
along that line, i need a better snare mic--i'd like a beyer 201, but again, i don't record drums (or amps) all that often.
part of me REALLY wants an SM7. my RE-38 is a very close cousin to the RE20/27, so i do have the "good dynamic" role filled......but i'd really like to acquire an SM7.
honestly, of anything, i'm leaning towards a tube mic. the V69 and V77 have always been pretty high on my list, and i have to admit that the new MXL tube mic may be intriguing. i seem to have missed out on the GT44's at GC......but honestly, after thoroughly enjoying my Dragonfly, i'm not sure i want another chinese-made "knockoff", no matter how "good".
so.....i'm really torn. to be totally honest, i think my mics are "ok" for now--especially with the addition of the Dragonfly a few months back......it's my outboard mic pres that need work. i've got a mackie 24*4, which is fine for "a lotta cheap pres", a VTB1 and a Symetrix 528.....and that's IT.
so honestly, i think my $$ would be better spent on an RNC, or maybe on one of those Old School Audio lunchboxes (and then subsequent channel cards) than on another mic right now.
your thoughts?
cheers,
wade
