Hi, I need a good, solid microphone for recording vocals and acoustic guitar all at once in a fairly controlled but somewhat live room. Any suggestions? And What mic pres do you recommend? Budget is 5-10k for mic and pres. Thanks!

RE: please rceommend good mic for vocals and acoustic
Thanks for responding. I'm looking for mics and pres that will allow me to capture very rich, warm, sounds for my acoustic/vocal recordings. If thats 'colored', so be it. I'm not sure what you mean. But I'd like to find mics and pres that, in sum, creat a clear, crisp, warm, rich sound. Thanks, Joseph

Just to throw in my 2 cents. I would STRONGLY recommend the Studioprojects C1. Now I do not own this mic yet, to be honest so this is just hearsay at this point but it appears to be blowing some minds in the professional circle, so Id give it a whirl. This is a gold sputtered tube condensor mic with a very large capsule and very low noise with a warm -expensive mic presence. Im days away from purchasing one, so I will verify this in just a bit.

I should probably point out that the StudioProjects is a LOW BUDGET mic that is around 200 bucks. Also the large capsule makes it appealing for vocals. Personally, I need an expensive mic sound on a budget, hence the C1 research. good luck.

My mistake. Im sort of recalling an article I had read. They must have gotten the mics mixed up too. In any case, folks on a budget may want to start doing some reading about the Studio project series to see some of the feedback. I have heard that since these mics are from China, they may be hit or miss, meaning that you may get a DUD and need to exchange it. But once you get a good model, its ready to rock. I'll post some feedback once I pick mine up.
