Answers<\/em><\/a>, someone just asked for advice on a microphone in the price range of 200-500 that he could use for recording rap on his home recording studio. Here&#8217;s his question:<\/p>\n<h3>Q: What is the best type of microphone for home recording?<\/h3>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m making a home studio for rapping and need a good microphone, possibly 200-500 dollars. I want a good one so if I have to pay a little more I&#8217;ll do it instead of paying a little for something that sucks. Please help.<\/em><br \/>\nAnd here is how I answered his question:<br \/>\nA: <em>You&#8217;re going to want a large diaphragm condenser type of mic. My absolute favorite (in that price range anyway;)) is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homebrewaudio.com\/recommends\/RodeNT2A\">Rode NT2-A<\/a>, which runs about $399. I record all my vocals, both singing and voice-over stuff, with it. Another solid choice for less money is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homebrewaudio.com\/recommends\/at2035\">Audio-Technica AT2035<\/a> for about $149. Keep in mind that these mics both need an audio interface with phantom power like the M-Audio Fast-Track (not sure if you already had that covered). Anyway, if you&#8217;d like to hear how both of these mics sound, I did a review of the AT2035 and tested it against the Rode, and put the audio results on the page here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homebrewaudio.com\/review-of-the-audio-technica-at2035-microphone\/\">Review of the Audio-Technica AT2035 Microphone<\/a>. I hope that helps!<\/em><br \/>\nThis question gets asked pretty frequently with the only variable usually being the price range. Interestingly, I&#8217;ve never seen anyone give a price range of $800-$1,500 or higher;). But as soon as they do, I&#8217;ll post it here on the site.<br \/>\nCheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over at Yahoo!
