Thread hijack so i changed the name... I want to record acoustic
guitar and vocals. Price limit is < AUD$300 so i'm thinking of 2
behringer c-2's ($75!!) and stereo mic pre or a single SM Pro mic 1
condenser and pre. Are cheap condensers better than sm57/58 of the
same price? Any recommendations?

I am selling my house deep in the santa cruz
mountains, and I think the
things I'm going to miss most is the birdsong and other sounds of the
wilderness around me. So, I keep thinking, I should pick up a good mic
soon
(stereo mic, or matched pair) - either buy,
borrow, or rent for a few days
- and record it all, so I can recreate the ambiance and memories of this
place one day in the future.
I bought the Studio Projects C4 (Matched Pair) which might not be the best
but
at least good for the price. You could also go for a pair of AKG C1000 which
cost about double.
My C4s are good (ie. I used them) for environmental recordings (I conserved
the noise of outside of my old flat in the middle of the city), live
recordings of concerts, drum overheads and micing of acoustic instruments.
They have two kinds of mic capsules to provide omni-directional and cardioid
characteristics. The (in my edition) shipped stereo-boom(?) is a bit to
short
to get the official 17,5cm for env-recordings but its still usable...
BTW: http://www.studioprojectsusa.com/index.html lists the C4 with 504€, I
got
mine (new) for ~300€...
Have a nice day,
Arnold
