hey everyone I'm looking into some new OH mics.
Currently I've been using a pair of rode nt-1 I know some people hate these, I don't mind them and I do really like them on vocals sometimes but I'm just not totally pleased with them and want to try something else.
What I originally planned on doing was getting a pair of SM7's because i want to get an SM7 for vocals and guitar anyways.
But then I had to go and start looking and found a whole bunch of other options.
I'm recording hardcore, maybe some metal too, just as an fyi
the other options I've looked at are:
Oktavia MC/MK 012's or maybe the 319's
AT 4040, 4050, 2020, atm450 (so lost here)
Rode NT5's
Avenson or earthworks but I don't think these would be so great for this style?
I'm really looking at the oktavia's as my primary choice, the main benefit being that they are cheap and I could potentially get two pairs and use them for undermicing the cymbals, what do you guys think of this idea?
As for the audio technica stuff I just don't even know where to begin, the 2020s seem too cheap but at the same time people seem to rave about them, the 4050s are probably too expensive for me but at the same time if they are going to blow everything away I'll spend the money.
I know when asking these questions the answer is generally spend more its worth it, but keep in mind that money saved here will all be going towards decent preamps (running a firepod right now).
