I had the same problem and about a year ago I splurged and got myself a Rode NT2-A.

Since then my recordings became much better (for me) ...not only can I get the volumes but it is also crystal clear. Reflecting and listing to my older stuff I always sounded vaguely muffled, not anymore .....!!


I'm doing allright for Country Trash ....

I used to care, but things have changed (Bob Dylan)
