 As far as I can tell, the sound quality is about $200. I was fooled into thinking it would sound like a $500 or $1000 mic. I really like the look and feel of the design but I returned it b/c obviously I am looking for a great sounding mic not a great looking mic!

 I really like the look and feel of the design but I returned it b/c obviously I am looking for a great sounding mic not a great looking mic!

$200 sound quality.

 Today it's all about this microphone, who is this microphone for, the price, the sound, when to use this. We're going to discuss this microphone. And then I will show you how this microphone sounds on vocals and acoustic guitar. So I hope that you're ready, let's go

 Is there any cons with this microphone? If you're looking for a warm microphone that adds a lot of harmonics and, you know, that kind of distortion, this is not your choice. Then I prefer other microphones. For example, the Aston Spirit. Who is this mic for? I think this microphone fits perfect for music producers, songwriters, engineers, pros, amateurs

 The build quality is very good, the sound is just amazing, and one of the best things is the price. You just have to pay $300 for this amazing microphone. And you can easily compare this microphone to other competing microphones that are much more expensive. And I think that in many cases you will prefer this if you just go for what you hear

 And then I will show you how this microphone sounds on vocals and acoustic guitar. So I hope that you're ready, let's go. The Aston Origin is a high-performance, carjoyed, condenser microphone. You can use this microphone for basically all kind of sound sources, but this microphone really shines on vocals and acoustic guitar

ASTON ORIGIN MIC REVIEW & TEST - RECORD FEMALE VOCALS & ACOUSTIC GUITAR - ASTON MICROPHONES ORIGIN

if you have a decently sized room with low noise to record in (ie not a closet or a tiny bedroom), i'd consider an LDC like the Aston Origin.

Just for background, I play bass and sing vocals for a small 3 piece pop punk band, and we've recently started recording. I've been using an Audio Technica AT2035 for the past 3 years or so, but it has never belonged to me and I feel that its time to return it to its owner and upgrade. I don't want to spend more than $300 on a new condenser and I've done my fair share of research on YouTube, Sweetwater, wherever. I've narrowed my choices down to the following:

\- Audio Technica AT4040

\- Blue Bluebird

\- Rode NT1

\- Shure SM27

If anyone has a particular preference or what they think would work best for my application, or even another suggestion that I haven't listed that I should consider, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone!

What $300 vocal mic should i upgrade to?

. so you don't need an extra suspension bracket like other mics. This makes it very efficient and easy to set up in a small space or large and eliminates some hassle. * That makes it easy to mount a pop filter on the mic stand due to the narrow vertical profile created when mounted on top of a mic stand

 * There is very little "noise" in the mic. * The proximity effect is good but you don't have to be 2 inches away to get it. * The design is elegant and modern looking so it "feels" very professional and it's full metal construction is rugged * Mounts easily on a standard mic stand due to the mount hole location.

 This makes it very efficient and easy to set up in a small space or large and eliminates some hassle. * That makes it easy to mount a pop filter on the mic stand due to the narrow vertical profile created when mounted on top of a mic stand. (see picture above) * The cardioid pattern is very effective at cancelling out background noise, as in better than any I have used that were below $250.

 Its clarity doesn't sacrifice the wholeness needed to pick up the more emotional nuances of a deeper vocal movement. There could be a bit more "bass" response but it's adequate and you can sweeten it in post and you'll get stellar results. Happy recording.

Sensational Sound - Amazing Price

 I am a tenor without much bass in my voice and the reproduction was faithful.  I am very impressed.  The Origin microphone itself bespeaks quality design and construction. The body is 2mm stainless steel

 An Aston Microphones decal and a lapel pin! There’s a very slim booklet which describes their two mic models and gives some very basic recording hints. No XLR cable is included, so you obviously must supply your own.  The XLR connector and mic stand mount are in a tandem row on the bottom. That is the one piece of this design I don’t particularly like

In terms of audio recording knowledge and experience, I would classify myself as an advanced amateur, with the proviso that almost all my experience is with spoken word.  Like most people involved with audio, I have an ever growing collection of microphones.  The Aston Microphones Origin, however, shot to the top of my like list within minutes of first using it.  Mounted on a desk stand about a foot away, using a Tascam DR-40, the recording was very, very nice

  The Origin microphone itself bespeaks quality design and construction. The body is 2mm stainless steel. The 1” capsule is protected by an attractive and unique “wave form mesh head”. There are two switches on the body, a -10dB/0dB pad and a 80hz low-cut filter

A very, very nice microphone for audio recording.

 You can see exactly where I put the microphone, exactly where I've set it up. The shock mount has to be said is not by Aston, this is actually a Rycote shock mount, it comes as part of the deal. So everything you see from there to there comes in the package. There's some really cool stuff about this thing, I'll show you around it as we go through

 That whole British sound thing is really coming back. Now Aston Microphones are newcomers but they are born off the back of the whole SE microphone range so these guys know their onions when it comes to microphones. Now this thing is very very cool, there's a few points that make it a bit different. Obviously there's a large diaphragm condenser capsule inside there behind this kind of wave guide shield thing which does some really cool stuff which also means I don't need a pop filter

 I thought this thing's pretty much going to be price point wise aimed at the kind of singer songwriter, singer guitarist, vocalist, that sort of thing. So I thought I'd put together a track around that sort of idea. I'll build it up track by track and then we'll play the whole thing at the end. So here we go, the first couple of tracks are going to be acoustic guitars, the first three tracks in fact are acoustic guitars

 Hi everyone, it's James here from Pro Tools Expert. Now gear of view heaven this week before we shoot over to LA for the NAMM show next week. So we're going to start with this thing. This is a microphone obviously, I'm talking into it right now and it's the mic I've been using for the podcast for the last couple of weeks

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 The Shure SM81 is a high-quality, unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics, and low RF susceptibility have made it a standard for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano, and cymbals.

r/drums

r/livesound

Guess what? The SM-81 mics were the most neutral (that's a very GOOD thing!), the most musical, the least distorted sounding mics of the group. Their sound pickup off-axis (where many mics add unwanted coloratio) was essentially indistinguishable from the straight-ahead sound. Wonderful! Since that project, we have bought 2 more SM-81s, and they continue to help us make beautiful recordings.

Well, in a word, no, I found nothing better in its price range (under $400). I brought in five different mics (from a vendor that accepts returns with no restocking fees), and placed them all among the string players, the choir, the soloists, and the organ. The recording was digital, with 96 kHz sampling and 24-bit resolution. Then came two weeks of listening and editing

A wonderful recording mic!

So I purchased an SM81 and finally hit the sweet spot of dB level and sound quality that makes the guitar recording a high quality rendition of what is played.   I purchased a second one so I could record in stereo and am very happy with the results.

The issue is getting the microphones placed and gain controlled so that the signal coming into the DAW is around -12dB and there is limited background noise so that the unamplified guitar sounds rich and natural.

Excellent tool for recording classical guitar
