Hi to all!
I'm relatively new to the forum, but have been reading everything over the past couple of days. There are some knowledgeable folks out there, thanks for the info!
I'm trying to expand my own activities as a composer and electronic musician and need a mic or two. I will use it for a variety of purposes including recording recitals, sampling instruments, and taking live audio into my Motu828 and then into Ableton Live.
I've been advised and a few mics have grabbed me. In terms of matched pairs, the Peluso CEMC6 and Jospehson C42 seem to be greatly admired, but they are also towards the top of my budget. The Avantone CK7 could be used like this or the CK44 stereo mic could be a nice alternative, but there seems to be less known about this make of mic (although the rep from avan electronics was certainly encouraging).
Any advice out there? Is it work an extra $300 (or in the case of the Josephson, much more) for mics that will not be specialized? Also, is running these mics into my Motu828 less then ideal? (should I be thinking of buying some crazy pre-amp, also?)
Thanks in advance, speak to me mic gods!
