I have a "low budget" home studio. I've been using various mic's including a couple of MXL990's, a MXL V57M and various Shure mic's including a Beta 58. I've got by but really needed a better vocal mic. I got the AT2035 from a left over credit I had with Musician's Friend and after testing and comparing the AT2035 to other mic's that I have there is no contest, the AT2035 wins.
I tested the AT2035 on both male and female singers, through a Presonus Blue Tube preamp, to my main recording interface unit - a Roland Octa-Capture, and their "natural" voice came through on both. The MXL's, through the same setup, tended to be too "trebly" or over emphasized the highs. The Beta 58, although probably not a valid comparison to condenser mic's, tended to be bassy compared to the condenser mic's.
I realize the AT2035 is not a "high end studio vocal mic" but it is an upgrade for my studio. |

congrats Jack. My studio is very basic as well, and I still use the MXL990 mainly because it is affordable. I upgrade things one piece at a time as I can, and sell off the old stuff to help pay for it.
I agree, the MXL990 requires a lot of tweaking and eq after recording to get anywhere decent sound. Running it thru a mixer allows me to knock out some of the highs with the channel controls.
Musician Friend has bailed me out of a lot of situations when I needed a low priced fix.
Congrats again.
Rob
