Brian929 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am a newbie to computer based recording looking for a second mic, currently I have a Rode NT1-A. I would use the mic for male vocals, acoustic guitar and some guitar amp work. I hope I am not being to vague, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If more info is needed let me know. Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewMusic007 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^ I have the same mic - it's great, I'm also looking for something a little different. I know that a lot of folks buy the basic MXL tube mic(s) and swap to a high quality tube and have had interesting results. They're so inexpensive I'll likely try one out w/the tube mod. http://www.guitarcenter.com/MXL-V69XM-Tube-Condenser-Mic-621066-i1474996.gc?&source=4WFRWXX&CAWELAID=670947401 or if you are handy w/a soldering iron mod a standard MXL: http://crodog.org/tubemic/tubemic.htm granted not an expert on mic price vs. quality - hopefully others will chime in.

right angle Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You're probably going to laugh, but I find my SM-58 Beta to be indispensable. It's the only mic I use to record acoustic guitars, and in my experience, it's often perfect for making electric guitars & certain vocals sit in the mix just right. There's also a few people offering mods to common mics like the SM-57 & C1000, which might be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
