Hello, Of the five, I have experience with two. I much prefer the Blue over the AKG. The Blue is more versatile IMO. When the AKG shines, it does so quite well, but the convers was true as well, when it is not a good fit, it is a dragon to wrestle down to fit in the mix. The Blue has been a good go to mic for both vocals and instruments, just look at the generation, some, like myself swear by the older ones.

Hello everybody. this may be a little off topic but I'm going to be upgrading my main microphone in the near future and have narrowed my potential microphone list down to five. If any of you have experience with any of the microphones below, could you please give me your thoughts both positive and negative? It'd be greatly appreciated! The five I am considering are as follows: AKG C214 Blue baby bottle SL Avantone pro CV12 sE Electronics T2 with Titanium Capsule Aston microphones Spirit All of these seem to have really good reviews and are in my budget. It'd be great to borrow all of them from someplace/someone and try them out but that's not realistic. Yes the Avantone is a tube microphone. I don't have a tube preamp right now so I'd be running the microphone into my focusrite saffire pro 40 interface. I'm thinking the warmth might be good... I'll be using this for male vocals, female vocals, and acoustic instruments mostly. Currently I own the Lauten Audio LA220 and while it's not bad by any means, I'd think any of the microphones above would be an upgrade to a certain extent. In the past, I've used a studio projects c3, SE electronics 2200a, Audio tecnica AT4040, and an AKG C3000 etc. Thanks, Cameron. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
