Hello everyone!
A year ago I started recording some songs with a friend of mine. I began recording my voice and my uke with a SM58 and I was pretty satisfied with the sound quality (http://snd.sc/10Ms8nq or http://snd.sc/Z2Z0Ly).
Recently I wanted to take it to the next level and purchased a Rode NT2-A. I really love this microphone and I can really feel the sound quality difference with the shure (http://snd.sc/10LjfdO or http://snd.sc/Z2Zgds). But now I would like to buy a new mic to record my ukulele so that I can record my singing and strumming at the same time (yep, I have to record everything separately since I only have one mic).
So here's my question: what would you recommend me to buy for a simple (read cheap) home studio? I'm actually hesitating beetween two types of mic: a good pickup (L.R. Baggs Five O) or a small condenser mic. The advantage of the pickup is that I won't have to worry about hearing my voice through the uke track. But I think that a condenser microphone have better sound quality than any other pickup.
my actual home studio configuration:
- rode NT2-A for voice and uke
- m-audio fast track
- Cockos reaper software
nothing else
What do you think? What model would you recommend me?
Thanks!
