RODE NT1000 Vocal Condenser Microphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went shopping for a Rode NT1. Rode mics use superb capsules mounted in machined housings you could drive a truck over, and the NT1 is a great mic for male vocals. The guy at the store suggested the NT1000. I recorded myself on both, and there wasn't much difference, but the 1000 just sounded a little smoother. But, the NT1 had a painted finish (may have changed since), made out of aluminum. When you screw the mount on it feels rough, like screwing in a light bulb with an aluminum base. The NT1000, though, feels rich and expensive, a nickel-steel finish (I guess) more like the expensive Neumanns. And when you screw the parts together they feel precise and elegant. It was a hundred bucks more than the NT1, but with the slightly nicer sound, and the much nicer look and handling feel, it seemed worth it.
The only problem I've had with it is weight. It's fairly heavy, and can't be extended very far on my boom stand without falling over.
Great dynamic range, low noise, very detailed.

Sennheiser E 845-S Dynamic Super Cardioid Microphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a frontman / lead singer that plays a little piano as well...this is the mic for you to use with your keyboard...so you dont have to use your wireless and set it up to the right position before a song... It is a great value for the price. I use a Sennheiser Wireless E835,
This is a great stage mic if you are tired of using your wireless with your keyboard/piano. I use this mic with a boom stand with my piano and leave it in the on position for the whole show. This way, I can leave my wireless Sennheiser with my Glam rock Stand up Stand. Helps save battery life and decreases anxiety of your battery going during a gig.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a good 80's collection to play on my keyboard and trumpet... thankfully I found this. It has everything I could ever want. I do wish there was more but that is just my greed kicking in wanting everything. I think this is an awesome addition for any musician's collection. It is worth the money and is very informative.

Josh Groban - Closer - Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this book, mainly because Josh Groban sings the most spectacular songs, but also because I wanted to use "When You Say You Love Me" as my processional song for my wedding. The songs are beautiful and wonderfully arranged.

Dubbed the "new prince of romantic music" by the All Music Guide, David Foster-protégé Josh Groban is a bonafide superstar, thanks mainly to this sophomore CD, which produced the blockbuster "You Raise Me Up." Our songbook features all 15 songs from the album, English translations for the foreign language songs, and a color section with great photos of Josh.
