Mics!

(1/10) > >>

Zingoleb:
I need a decent mic and someone's offering to buy me one (give me the money to buy one) for Christmas, like, and I'm COMPLETELY unsure which way I should go. They put what they can afford as around $60 - so does anyone have any good suggestions up to about $100 for a really nice mic? If I'm going to invest in something like this I'd rather like it to be something I'm using long-term, but if that's a horribly low price (I know nothing about this stuff) then I'll settle for a cheap one, I guess.

Mostly I'd be recording vocals, guitar, violin, mandolin - things of that nature.

Shure SM57. Whenever someone asks me about a good mic and have nothing special to go on, I always say SM57. There are probably cheaper ones who are about as good, but with SM57 you know you will get a quality mic.

VonKleist:
I have a Rode NT1-A and an older Tascam Interface, about 150€ each, and thatīs a pretty good setup the low-budget area as far as I know.
We do have lots of SM57 and 58 kicking around for live and stuff but I think a condenser-mic would be better suited for recording acoustic guitar etc.

idontunderstand:
That I have to agree with.. The SM57 may be more suited for band-type stuff like loud amps and drums.

that's also like 2-3 times the price of what I can afford right now.
