I have enough money for one microphone, which i'll be using with a behringer mixer and compressor, but whats the best way to go about it? I've been told that i can use my bass microphone and a condensor to get some depth. I'm looking in the kind of price range as the rode nt-1. The mic will also double up for singing, guitar and drum overheads, but i will mainly be recording piano

An Octava would be nice and work formany things including piano. Not sure about the price, Musician's Friend is off line for a little bit for maintenence.
Nov 23, 2002 03:33 pm that mic looks very nice, and the price is low aswell. It says the useful frequency responce 40Hz to 16kHz but the actual responce extends a lot further... why didn't they say that then? does the human ear only hear from 40Hz to 16kHz? most mics i've seen go from 20-20
Nov 23, 2002 07:09 pm The response of the human ear is still the sunject of debate, 20-20 is the generally accepted frequencies (maybe higher on the top end, I forget) but nobody really knows for sure...
Nov 24, 2002 12:39 pm it's unique to each individual. i can hear as low as 16 Hz. Can anyone else here hear the high pitched hiss of a TV? I finf that about 1 in 4 people can hear a TV on from anywhere in the house.
Nov 25, 2002 09:53 am i use the rode nt2 mic and it works great. i've recorded acoustic guitars and vox with it and it captures great tone. if you want to hear some vocals i used the rode nt2 on, you can download www.kritikalaz.com/mp3s/cypress.mp3
it's a demo track but it gives you an idea. hope this helps!
Nov 25, 2002 11:49 am Yeah i've used the nt2 at college and its nice, but also expensive, and I wouldn't really need the omni setting. Its either the nt1 or the oktava I think. I used an AKG condensor and a bass mic to record a piano at college today and it sounded nice
Nov 29, 2002 12:01 am dude... i have a solution. i had this same problem. I debated what to do for a while. I have a rode nt1 which is a petty full range mic.. but i was picking up alot of hardware noise for an up close.. and the ambient wasnt getting great low end so i scrounged up some cash. i figured 600$ would get me something basicly universal like a blue or something. then i realized how dumb i was being.. why i didnt see this before. and there it was. a FLASH. sighting in my head. The one. kinda like the ring in that movie. i heard they made a book out of that! anyway.. i bought a rhoads 54. Plug it in and go.. you dont even need a power sorce. Look on ebay. im sure they have tons of stuff.
Nov 29, 2002 06:45 am too late, I bought the nt1 yesterday along with a behringer ub1204 and one of the new edirol pcr-50 midi controllers, I'm looking forward to getting the keyboard, and in the sales pitch it said it had a new and improved "bender" for pitch and modulation which should be useful i guess.. I'm a bit suspicious though...
