addition mic for acoustic guitar

[TonyS.]

Hey guys,
searching for a addition mic for the AT4040. I want to use it for micing the neck while using AT4040 for the dody.

Thinking about a RodeNT5...in this price range I would it even buy as a stereo pair.

I also like the Beyerdynamic MC930(use it for live, and at studio on: for Hats, overheads and room mics), but this is the maximum price range, rather to expensive at the moment...

Any references?

 

[TonyS.]

nothing?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

really depends on the guitar and style..
sometimes I like the km184, sometimes the C414, sometimes the m160....and those all sound really doifferent from each other

 

[TonyS.]

...these mics are all above my price range. I will not use them this often, so this is not worth the money, for me.

I will try the Nt5s and compare them to MC930s.

Thanks

how about a t.bone ribbon mic

A Rode NT5 set would be affordable, and offer you additional cymbal mics (as aforementioned).

If you can afford it, I'd go for these: http://www.oktavamodshop.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_30&products_id=108

They are EXCELLENT microphones, and will get you some of the nicest overhead sounds around, as well as work great for the acoustic.

Never heard anything good about T.Bone products...

Do you men this http://www.thomann.de/de/oktava_mk_01201_mkiimatched_pair.htm ???????????ß

Fucking hughe price difference to your link!

Tony, those are the same microphones, but the ones in my link are modded with premium electronics. It really makes a gigantic difference. Cost cutting leads companies to use inferior components to meet price point, and when the circuit is very simple, the upgrades help.

Thx for the info, Greg!

The MC930 is an incredible mic, the bonus is that it's useful on lots of sources besides the usual acoustic/overhead/etc. It's just such a big, warm sounding mic.

You should also look around for a Josephson C42, they're pretty amazing. Compared to the MC930, the Josephson is faster with the transients and a bit clearer on top.

First of all you need a great (expensive)guitar to get a great recorded tone. And then you need a decent microphone to capture the already awesome sounding guitar. Simple as that.

...donmt care about the guitar.

Well you are wrong. Always start with the source.

I think Oktava mk 012 would be nice on guitars. Or a Highend microphone such as a Peluso 2247LE

I mean I have some very great sounding guitars, so this is not the problem. I know this is the most important part!

 

[TonyS.]

If anybody is interested... I found this on youtube.

...and here are some OH and guitar tests, too!

+1 on the modded Oktavas.
Mine come in pretty soon.

I'd also suggest a Rode K2 if you can afford it.
