Well, I ordered my microphone preamp, now I need a microphone. Based on the archives of this list and my budget, I identified three. What I mostly will be doing is: (1) Recording voice, either speaking or singing (2) Recording acoustic instruments (classical guitar, clarinet) (3) Recording chamber music. So the three microphones are: (a) Shure SM57 (Is there a difference between the SM57 and SM57-LC?) (b) Shure SM58 (Though which one: the SM58-LC, SM58-CN or SM58S ?) (c) CAD gxl 2200 large diaphragm condenser $60 Just from my naive understanding, the SM57 seems like it might be the best "general purpose" microphone for my needs. Do people have advice or other recommendations? Thanks. Eventually I will buy a second microphone for stereo recording. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
