Hey all, I've always used dynamic mics, but thought I'd try a condensor to see it will improve sound.
Got an extremely good deal on an Audio-Technica AT2035 which are supposed to be very good CM's (its a large diaphragm model).
I've tried it out and these things are insanely hot litrally any slight noises in the house are picked up, finger/plectrum noises. Just wondering if anyone had any advice on setting up CM's, technical set up or otherwise to kill all these noises, I've seen recordings using CM's and have noticed people get a really clean sound with no little noises in the background.
Also as these are phantom powered is it still recommended to get a mic pre-amp (bearing in mind its going through a toneport UX2 already)? and advantages of doing so.
Your advice is much appreciated. Cheers
