Hey there - you need to do some research on specific mics and types of mics for your particular application - it may well be that there are 3000 dollar mics that won't do the job you need as well as a 120 dollar mic - for example, I don't think I'd stick 4 neumann u87s on the snare and toms of a drum kit rather than 4 shure sm57s oh gosh - I had some links but i'm not at home - rats...hmmm - uhm...hmmm - i think maybe i put some links about mics in my linux journal article: www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7205 ------- NQuit www.nquit.com ------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Alastair Couper Sent: 8/3/2004 1:50:24 PM To: linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [linux-audio-user] OT: Microphone info > I am looking into getting a decent microphone, but am having a hard time > wading through all the obviously subjective yet passionately held opinions > that I see in various reviews.
