I'm looking to add more studio quality sounds to my makeshift home studio... (really im recording out of a 11' by 14' bedroom onto an MXL $60 condensor mic). Does the setting that the mic is in have a greater effect on the sound than the actual mic does? -------------------- cheapchops.net = deals on progear and audio stuffs

The Audio Technica AT2020 is $100. And they always make very usable mics The Studio Projects C1 has been compared favorably to the uber-expensive neuman mics and is only $200 If you're willing to spend jus a little more (around $300) then you can step up to alot of really cool options. The Shure KSm-27, the Rode nt1000, audio technica at4040. The M-audio solaris has been getting good reviews too. I like the rode mics alot. Great bang for the buck ratio. Scott
