Love your videos Joe!
And as for trialling a mic? Not here in UK, so far as I can tell. It is easy to make a big mis-step though: my first mic was the NT1A. Within budget, it screamed 'beginner' but got plenty of gigs.
Then, being an ex BBC tech, I bought a new Coles 4038 ribbon. I thought it sounded wonderful, smooth, warm, smoochy, flattering. But for my quiet voice that was a poor choice. Other people heard hiss when the top-end was boosted for a bit of 'condenser' bite.
So, now it's an AT4040 - warm and not spitty, so far as I can assess it. Just about within budget. Remember, this is England!
Anyway, thanks for all your insights over the years.
