I need to get a mic to record a live performance. While i would rather direct out from the board the vocals are the only things going through the PA. Can someone suggest what the best alternatives are for recording mics?
Are you looking to record everything via one mic?
Nothing else is mic'd?
Does it have to be an impressive rec/mix or is it say to record your kids local choir,where you are just hoping to record something for posterity?
Under $500 or over?
Guess you would want a phantom powered mic.
I got a "pencil" condenser mic that I ve had mixed results with.I think the brand was Mxl.Kinda cheap.
But all I could afford at the time.
Good luck.
Strummingsix has some great sounding stuff.Maybe he will recommend something more definite.
