I have an AKG c451 B on order right now. I was going to get the c414 XLS, but with the 451 being half the price and still a stand-up mic, I figured (for now, at least) I’ll go with that. I really only need it for some voice work and foley. I was kind of stressing spending so much on the 414, and just the other day I realized that all of the foley that my classmates and I had for any of our projects were actually done using the 451. That did it. Cancelled my order for the 414, and might get my 451 by the end of this week.
In other news, I found a really great, cheap way to get some room treatment done, and I think I’m going to give it a shot. If anyone is interested, you can check out this post here by Matt Mayfield over at Logic Pro Help.
