With the Grammy Awards tonight, it got me thinking about music in general, which led me to listening to arguably the greatest pop rock song of all time, Hotel California ("It's got everything." I once heard someone say.), and found this great live version.

I have a sure sm58 and a c4000B AKG.
The problem is I like the sure sm58 for listening to myself talk all day. rap music and chorus singing.

So I want a mic like the sm58 thats good for recording talking and vocals and like performance situations.
400-1200 dollar range

Good evening Recording.Org

I would love to make a little cover of this particular part of one of my favorite songs of all time. The part that I'd love to cover starts right at 3 minutes and 6 seconds & goes until the end:

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum and I would like to share with you a project I've been working on for a little while now. It's my own music, recorded here at my house. I think that I've managed to get a decent mix with what I have, but I am asking advice, opinions, what should change, what shouldn't. Regardless, please be honest and unabashed lol.

On a budget! what would be the short and long list of must have mics you would choose for a studio? short list would be for a small one man operation recording one or two tracks at a time and no live drums and the long list would be for any studio recording bands live and small ensembles.

thought this was pretty cool. Sounds heavily edited, and polished, but at least they are using them in the video. Song is definitely more interesting withe the full arrangement, the acoustic version is a bit boring after a couple minutes

Hi,I'm new here,so first of all. .Hello.

Just been digging around some recordings I started a few years ago and I've found the most terrific sounding late sixties/70's Rolling Stones type guitar sound I've ever heard outside of "Honky Tonk Woman" and similar,it's that good (I wish everything else I'd recorded was),works in mix not just solo.

Hi, amateur podcaster here, sorting out a new recording set-up.

Hi guys,
THis is my first video production and I'd like to have some comments.
In a sens I also wanted to share a bit of what I'm up to.
The audio was recorded in my studio and I played the drums for the band because the drummer wasn't available that day.

Everything must change... I have been a medium term user of UA's Apollo Quad interface, along with an RME AD-8-DS for extra inputs via ADAT. Recently, UA has started putting greater emphasis on their MAC/Thunderbolt development effort, and letting the firewire support lag behind.
