Well, I ordered my microphone preamp, now I need a microphone.
Based on the archives of this list and my budget, I identified
three. What I mostly will be doing is:
(1) Recording voice, either speaking or singing
(2) Recording acoustic instruments (classical guitar, clarinet)
(3) Recording chamber music.
So the three microphones are:
(a) Shure SM57 (Is there a difference between the SM57 and SM57-LC?)
(b) Shure SM58 (Though which one: the SM58-LC, SM58-CN or SM58S ?)
(c) CAD gxl 2200 large diaphragm condenser $60
Just from my naive understanding, the SM57 seems like it might be the
best "general purpose" microphone for my needs.
Do people have advice or other recommendations? Thanks.
Eventually I will buy a second microphone for stereo recording.
