As you need to EQ/Master afterwards, this shouldn't be the big problem. But you should select the characteristics of the mic with respect to what you want to record: Doing a live-recording of a concert you don't want to use omni-directional mics as you want the sound coming from stage in front of the mic, not the foh-man talking to the light-crew behind the mic. For environmental recordings where you are in the middle of the happening you could use omnis. And wether a mic records linear from 0Hz is dependent on the price and not so much on the characteristics. In fact I strongly doubt that any mic will be linear (which is defined to be less than 3dB around the average) below 20Hz! Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.
