I'm looking to expand my mic cabinet(which contains one sm57 lol) and I want to get a condenser mic in the $100-250 price range. Here are the things I'll be recording in order from most recorded to least-
1. Acoustic guitar
2. Harmonica
3. Trombone
4. Vocals
5. Ukulele
6. Bongos
So obviously it needs to be a pretty general purpose mic. I'd rather have all the things I'm recording sound mediocre or "uniique" rahter than one or two things sound great and the rest sound like ****. Not recording to release demos and stuff, just for hobby. So what condenser mics would be good for me? Maybe a NT1A or a B1/B3? What are the ups and downs of certain mics I might want to get? Thanks!
Edit: Just remembered that x-mas is coming up in a couple months, and this mic I'm getting now would be my b-day present, so if you wanna recommend 2 different mics that would work well with the different stuff I'm recording that would be cool too(Or would it be better to invest in a stereo pair?)
