Shaker Mics
Good quality music budget Gear
Music Gear, The Biggest Bang for the fewest dollars
Sometimes I encounter some devices, which I think offers a lot for your money. The following list contains things that I think is one of the hidden gems, both for the artist of home recording and the musicians of the association. Consider bookmarking this page that I'm still new things.
The Best compressor motor
The FMR Audio RNC-1773rd Called compressor "really good", this unit rocks! This is an ideal compressor for front-end applications, while laying traces or as a mixture bus compressor.The RNC can be anything from mild to severe pressure squashing.The manufacturer should provide examples to do is lose control to the departure, without your songs. Well the cost of the compressor, how you think,? Only $ 200! Think it is difficult, another compressor that delivers the same quality find for less than $ 2,000 $ 1,000 leave you alone.
Some Fantastic mics:
You can not go wrong with Shure SM-57. You can find one for $ 80. This is not sexy, but if I do not only with a microphone, this would be it. One thing about this microphone is that you need to do aa good preamp. This can be easily cost more than some other pickups more expensive, but I think everyone should at least one.If you looking for a condenser microphone ago as the Shure SM-57 is a good deal, and it can be a for about $ 75 if you are under a bit hard. He needs a good precursor, if you want to make the most of it Oomph, so overall it is not exactly a bargaining agreement. But any semi-serious musician should at least one.
Other Super-Micros
One of my favorites is the Rode NTK. It is a large diaphragm tube (valve) condenser microphone. Each sound source you choose, it will be a huge. On many securities as a baritone male voice, hand drums (and I have a lot of them) and percussion instruments (I have a lot of too), microphone that does not sound this world. The price is about $ 500 for the microphone, and an elastic support, is a bargain.I I think the most often a couple of microphones, a thousand dollars or U.S. more.Sometimes is a little brighter costs for certain applications, the overall situation, this microphone delivered.
Some other great microphones: Studio Projects C1 and C3. The C1 is a cardioid pattern only in the kidney C3 has eight, and Omni. Both pickups sound very nice – calm and clear, pleasant sounds. They are not as good as the NKT, but its price (about $ 229 to $ 349 for the C1 and C3), They are very well not amateur.But you can beat her, you should be very good from the microphones in this price points.The T3 project studio microphone capacitor.
Preamplifier
If you're in the market for tube preamp with high quality at a good price, I recommend the Peavey VMP-2 (yes, the Peavey, but it sounds good). This is the all-tube pre-amp you will find one for under a thousand (retail price about $ 700). It is a little harder (very little) that most of the more expensive tube preamp, but less than half the cost, you will not be disappointed. Tip: To get the most out of this preamp does not cover all your tracks through them. Use it on the drums, bass, vocals and / or use of a solid state amp for the rest of the track. Use on any track is to add the mud in the mixture.
Thought So to do with a transistor amplifier? for about $ 400, you can get channel VLZ 1202 A, has four channels, which receive $ 100 more you start a mixer. Some people say that the sounds they emit brittle.This occurs if, when you crank too. But keep the platelets under TRIM the 1-position and the clock They rewarded by beautiful on its own.
If you can spend more money on a preamp, and you do not want to try the many first hundred channels Grace For about $ 600 for a string, you get a no frills, clean and open a preamplifier. This preamplifierhas a very musical and I love it on drums (and agitator controls) and instruments like acoustic guitar. One thing is: If you "hot" this preliminary stage, it does give you. The Grace 101 is the source of the sound exactly like the double of the original. You have your microphone placed just right. Once you after your return and attach the microphones sound good source, you'll be on the capacity to be astonished at this preliminary stage of a Capture Performance
The Vintech 1272 Neve you can sound without the price $ 3,000. Half-price, you get two channels, they play classic Neve disappoint you.
