Mic geeks: What are your FAVORITE mics, and why? = ) Anyone who's known me for more than a minute knows I love my Oktava MK-105 and that I have a few Shure LDCs I'm fond of (The PG-27, for a cheapie, is my babydoll. Yes I'm aware it has a really high noise floor. But you'd never know it when I'm done with it.) ; ) I've also got a 1981 Soviet-made Mk-18 that I still use on occasion (the darn thing's almost as old as - *AHEM* - well, that's not important.) But I wanna know what mics YOU like, and WHY. (I.E.: Most of mine have a flat response across the mids, are cooler than some other mics, and have some extra top-end to them, which is handy when I do bass characters to give them a nice texture, and really helps with the super-high pitched ones as well, if you work the mic from further back.) Tips? Tricks? Good mics for certain purposes? Favorite all-arounders? Amazing one-trick ponies? Lemme know! I love mics! ^_^ EDIT: P.S. Let's stick to some more mid-grade mics. Everyone knows a Neumann U87 is just sooooo, SOOOO nice, and if you wanna mention something like that it's fine but I'd like encourage some esoteric mid-grade stuff, too, like maybe for instance a Pearl PML Priority. XD I know we talked a lot about mics on Skype before, but I'll throw this one out in the public eye. The Aston Origin is my new baby and I'm enjoying the holy poop outta it. The quality is very good for a $250 mic (2016 price). One such video on youtube compared 4 mics together and the Origin was one of them that sounded better than the expensive mics currently on the market. I'll shamelessly link my review of the mic on here cause ya know....shameless promotions!
