Microphone suggestions
I'm looking to add a new microphone to my studio and would appreciate any recommendations on those that people feel sound especially good for voice-overs. These would be used for commercials, industrials, multimedia and documentaries. Thanks!

I am looking for a mic for general recording purposes. I will use it mainly for recording voice overs and sound effects.
I've heard some good things about Shure sm 58 for its price, any recommendations?
I am looking for mics in the medium-low budget range..
thanks!

Mic Placement - finding the sweet spot
Do you all listen to the source in isolation? With the tracks/band playing? I don't have a separate control room, and am trying to get better sounds at the mic. What sounds good to me sometimes ends up a bit soft/warm/undefined in the mix. I know experience will help here, but I'm wondering how you all know when you find the sweet spot for an instrument. Thanks for your replies.

Amp/ mic and basic help
I'm a musician who is putting together a home studio for demoing and possibly recording a 4 piece rock band. I've never used anything outside of a portable 4-track casette studio by myself, but have spent time in a pro studio recording an album. I got a very nice deal on a PC-based Pro Tools LE system with a digi 001 which I'll be setting up in an insulated, mid-sized basement space.

MS Micing cord question
I am new to MS Micing and want to try it. I understand you need to use a figure 8 mic and make a cord where one input is out of phase with the other.

Guitar Micing too ambient
I've been do my own recording in my basement with some complete crap equipement (a tube preamp, 4 channel mixer, sm-57, large diaphragm condenser mic, 4 other dynamic mics), and a laptop. My budget is severly limited (university student here).
