Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your help.
Here's the update - I bought a Kiwi Blue and a Sennheiser 416.
Both are fantastic but I prefer the Kiwi for most stuff - its totally awesome.
It has propelled me into another league. I am getting 5 star ratings with regularity on an internet voice site.
It has also given me the confidence that I can deliver what I want to deliver.
I got a Trident 4T - sorry to 3 and 4t I went to Guitar Center and they had a new one for $575, so I couldn't say no.
Not sure how to operate that compressor though........I'll leave you guys in peace. Thanks everyone - I am over the moon.
(Anyone want to buy a Rode NT2000???
ehe)
