Argitoth Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 So I'm a total noob when it comes to microphones. I went to Sweetwater to look at the microphone buying guide so it tells me what the microphone terminology is. What mic would you suggest as a general go-to mic for Foley sound? Do I want big or small diaphragms? To pay $300 for a good mic versus $2000 and only get a 20-30% increase in quality is beyond my budget. More specifically I am thinking about creating a kalimba sample library with 4 velocities and 4 alternatives per velocity, so 16 samples per note plucked by a machine to get accurate velocities. The plan is to construct a kalimba that will be perfect for sampling and sound clean and full (possibly unlike a traditional kalimba sound). Can anyone offer some suggestions? I already own 1 M-audio Nova and I'm thinking all the responses I will get will tell me to throw that piece of cheapness away and spend $600 per mic. Any help is greatly appreciated, THANKS!
