Hi All...

Sorry for offtopic!

Can't find any good pro-audio forum where can talk about microphones.
Please help with a real good URL(s).

I'm interested in buying of RODE NT1 or AKG c3000b or Oktava mk319. What is the best for woman vocal?

Thank You !

no such thing.every voice and project is different.ANY of those mics would be a worthy starting place.when you have many mics, you can use your ears to decide which is best for what.hey, if you want an overall good,CHEAP mic get one of those chinese jobs by marshall (MXL2001) or yorkville (same mic different nameplate don't know the model)for about $175 or less.audix sells the same mic with one upgraded capacitor (a 50cent part) for about $500.there is even an excellent electronic upgrade made by a third party which makes this mic comparable to $1000 mics for an additional $100 or so.the capsule is a very good copy of a neumann.mics are not like toasters which pop out consistant results no matter who uses them. the experience is transitory and there are no hard results(the toast) which can be seen by all in the same manner(is it burnt on one side?)no ones opinion matters but yours and there is no replacement for working experience.just get one that seems good to you(test them if you can all together on some headphones with a womans voice.any store should be able to give you a demo.)and relax and make music.get another one later.

i have rode ntv and akg3000. i'm very satisfied with my ntv for every kind of vocals. sounds much warmer than akg c3000.

the rode is another cheap neumann copy based on the same capsule as the marshall.good mic.
