delboy Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 bah would you credit it, just started on my first nu lo fi unlistenable recordings in over four years (bar some half finished stuff last year that got scrapped) and my fecking microphone has packed up on me (i did 'borrow' it from northsound so what do you expect????)can anyone recommend a decent but cheap mic for four track recording? or is anyone selling one? or better still does anyone have a spare one lying around that they could give to a good home?

spellchecker Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 CLS often have a bunch of spares that they sell for around 50 quid, usually sm57s, don't know if they do sm58s for sale. speak to ian about it.i got an sm58 off ebay for about 60 quid about 18 months ago.ebay is a good place to buy if you are on a budget, because there's so many for sale that many just get ignored and never get high bids.

badger Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Del Buy a Sennheiser evolution. They are like really cheap at the moment (under 50) or ask Jimi at CLS about the behringer SM58 copies. They are quite good. I bought some off him last year. I think they were about 40.BadgerPS. where were you at Go North? I missed you not propping up the bar(s)!

MTA Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 You could also try www.thomann.de and have a look at the ocatva`s thay are quite cheep but very good quality large diaphram condenser mic`s. would be much better than 57/8`s or most dynamic mic..MTA...

soundian Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Since it's only for 4-track work, and most probably lo-fi fucked up electro-pop knowing you, you can 'borrow' one of the shitty mics that I never use. I'm hurt you never asked me first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ibid Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 The behringer XM 8500 has a frequency response similar to an sm58 and retails at around 15. Try www.allangordon.co.uk Excellent for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
