Im sure one of those will do the trick.

Be honest. You just wanted to show off that equipment list.

Since you said it's a project, I'm guessing your taking some sort of class? Then used what you've learned and pick what you think will work best.

And if you don't have any idea...use 57's on everything.

Use them all.

dude that is just a load of CRAP
if you REALLY have those mics listed, and you dont know which one to use, sell it all.

dont go assing around with your superb miclist.

by the way, if you've got the chance, try using the 602 on screamvocals. it sounds way out sometimes. and it can handle lots of volume.

He doesnt own the mics, he stated its a final project, must be a studio the school rents.

If its his FINAL, and doesnt know which mics to use, he's in trouble.

Metal?? Put the singer on a Shure SM58, he'll sound totally 80s!!!

Oh, and where's your DI box list (for Bass guitar)

Come on guys! I thought this was a place for support. I wanted to know any tricks you guys had and what a good mic for the vox was. I didn't ask for every single micing situation. If you passed along a cool mic technique you knew or something, great, but I'm not clueless! It's my final school project at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences. We have 8 studios, 2 SSL, 2 Neve, 2 Neotek Elite. All with large studio proper with 2 iso's per studio. I thought technique was shared, not wise comments. Thanks for you who answered without sarcasm.

Well, consider this little bit of factual information. Bono uses a Shure SM58 in the studio! He moves and jumps around a lot and is more comfortable handholding a microphone.

Bruce Swedien uses a Shure SM7b to track Michael Jackson in the studio.

My Soul Train music award nomination was for Yolanda Adams live in Washington DC tracking her on a SM58. They are great microphones and not a compromise microphone as some people think. Dynamic Mike's are also somewhat more bandwidth limited, along with its tight cardioid pattern, making it an almost ideal microphone while tracking a band live in the studio or live onstage. Just remember if you need to clean up some of the live " Ruf" vocal tracks in overdubs, make sure you use the same microphone.

I love SM58s

I hope you didnt think I was sarcastic about the SM58.
I absolutely love them on Metal screamers. 8-)

58 or sm7 all the way, use good preamps and compression, and your set. most metal guys prefer the handheld type mics. also if you need more intense vocal sound, try the sansamp plugins.

Thanks Y'all for all your input. I used a Rode NTK on the singing part, and a Shure Beta 57 on screams. Turned out nice. I mix it tonight.

i've used the beta 57 on screams with good results too, i've got a small studio and on screams i use either my md421, beta 57, sm57, studio projects c1, gt electronics am51, i've even had requests for my 20 dollar radioshack mic with great results, that screamer actually wanted to use that mic for all vocal overdubs and not go with any of the shure mics, or condensors, or my green bullet mic for a kind of filtered sound for extra parts, depending on the singers expierence, i'll either mount it up in a shock mount, or just let him hold it. i just ask them now a days, if the want to hold it or not,
