What is the best mic for home studio recording projects?

Question

I'm looking to buy a microphone for a home recording studio. I want a really clear mic for under $300. I'd love help from someone who has a good one, or knows one.

Answer 1

No idea

Answer 2

it really depend on what you want to record with it it. what are you recording to?

  a good vocal mic you can use is an audio technica at4040 microphone.. is it a large daiphragm, condenser mic. so, it will need phantom power to make it work. you can also use it to record acoustic guitar, or just set it up in a room to record music.

another good mic is the akg c 1000 microphone. its an outstanding microphone to put in a room and just record what is happening. again, it is a condenser mic so you need phantom power.

another good mic is the shure sm57 and sm58. they are both dynamic mics so you dont need phantom power. these are good study mic that you can use from vocals, to guitar, to drums.

all in all, its hard to record music with one mic, but you can do it. its better to have a couple mics set up so you can get better levels on what you want to record.good luck.
