i gonna buy mic for capture overhead of drum kit, what is your reccomend?
or i buy another same one as i have? (as pair rode nt1)

AKG 414

in my opinion,
generally with a couple of large diapharme
but it depends on your budget
with the dynamic mics like sm81
it give the sound more root
i never try a couple small diaparhme
i think it will give more precision in high frequency

couple of large diapham mic, nt1x2

small diapham has high frequency but no body i think

maybe i buy another c414 for new vocal mic

I have another choice
Royer r121 ?

I just try compressors and EQ at school,
you wanna here some?
there’re SSL mix buss on SSL 900
Urei LA4, Avalon 747sp
dBx160 xl
i will compare with LM
