Hi all,
I'm still new into recording process/gadgets, I just got my AT2020USB+ and realized that it has no gain control, which is a big headache to brass players because we could hit the maximum volume easily. This ruined up the sound quality of course.
So after some serious consideration, I'm planing to buy a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 recording interface, and a microphone. Do you have any recommendations on which mic should I start with? My budget is hopefully 100usd, but if any suggestions need more than that and it's worthy I'll pick that also.(hopefully still within 150usd , our currency now is really bad
Mostly will be self recording solos and multi tracks with my trombone and euphonium, with Audacity or ProTools. More serious purpose, for recording auditions.
*I had did some researched, Shure SM57, AKG 170 and MXL R144(saw a trombonist from YouTube, and he says ribbon mic works best for brass, and it sounds nice Kopprasch Study #14 - Conn 88H Trombone - YouTube ) seems to be some of the most recommended microphones for brass/trombone and euphonium.
I think I'm selling my AT2020USB+ soon, and looking forward to get some more reviews about some good microphone(s) to start with.
Regards
Lance
