[Rwp] type of microphone

[theoreomonster at reaperaccess.com]

agreed here patrick. I find around that $300 price you can get a high end dynamic or a cheap condenser and the high end dynamics are much better workhorses especially in home studios. The SM7 and the Electrovoice RE320 are great all around high end dynamic miss that you can’t go wrong with and can use on pretty much any source.

This, of course, also means dynamic microphones are magnitudes less sensitive than the typical condenser, which can be good or bad depending on what you’re doing.
