I have a Rode NT1, NT1a, and NT3. I use the first two all the time. They're amazing for vocals, guitar, piano, ambient sounds...everything I record on them sounds good.
The NT3, on the other hand, seems totally useless. I've tried using it for all of the same applications and it is a consistent disappointment. It's too airy, meatless, hollow...I know it isn't a mechanical issue unique to my mic because a friend also has an NT3 which sounds equally flavorless.
I don't know a lot about microphones, even the ones I own, so I have to ask. What's the difference in these mics? Should I be getting a better (or at least comparable) sound out of the NT3, or are these mics meant for completely different purposes?
Thanks, Peter
