Hello guys,
I'm new in audio recording world same as on this forum, so if you feel that I'm saying stupid things - it is
Right now I'm learning fingerstlyle with percussion
Just an example (please delete if not allowed) and having Sennheiser MK4 mic with RME Babyface pro fs interface.
I saw a lot of reviews, videos, comparisons (also in this forum) and found 3 most interesting mics for me.
1) Soyuz 013 Fet (600$)
2) Neumann km184(670$)
3) Austrian Audio cc8 (mono 450$, pair 830$)
Everyone tells that its better to use cheap pair, but in stereo, but as I'm new here I just want to buy something, which I will use forever or sell at by not loosing to much. Also I read that stereo could be overcomplicated for people without experience.
And so far I'm tending to buy mic 1 or 2 as mono and in the future (if needed) just add another, but here another problem = matched/unmatched topic "shouting aaaa". Also I saw topics that its not necessary needed to use 2 same mics for stereo. I could probably take my MK4 and add i.e. one Souyz or Neumann and experiment with that.
it would be really nice if you could correct my thoughts, which I learned for the past days and a lot of reading hours.
and would be great if (based on YT example) tell me which mic would fit best here?
Precise and bright neumann, warm and full Soyuz, or something between -> AA cc8? And in case stereo matched and same pair needed I would go for that 830$, but it's a bit to much for me. Otherwise I can buy one of these and add same one, for example in "xx months".
P.S. Probably it is also very important to consider - I live in a Maisonette apartment type, which doesnt have doors, only ladder behind me. I treated my living room part as much as possible, bass traps, acoustic panels, carpet, big sofa etc and it works pretty well for music listening, but I think it will never be perfect for recordings, just unpossible to do by not spending thousands of $
Thank you for any advise!
