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've gotten really nice acoustic guitar results from my Rode NT1 large
diaphragm condenser, and I hear the Rode NT1-A is even better. For a
cheap condenser, it's very nice. I think you can get it for around $200
USD. Rode is an Australian company, so maybe they are even cheaper
there. Maybe you can find a used NT1 somewhere, and a used SM-58 for
vocals if you record both at the same time. Otherwise the NT1 works
great for vocals, too.
