I am trying to decide what mic I want to purchase solely for vocals. It will be for male vocals, I am looking for something not too dark but not harsh on the high-endeither, here are some of the mics I have researched and considered. Any advice and personal experience with these mics would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone -- me and my friend record rap music, and for the past year or so we've been currently using the Samsung C01U USB Studio Condenser Mic. An enormous improvement over the built-in microphones on his computer! Just plugin to the USB port, and it's ready to record.

Whats up guys, I know this is a recording forum, but there are artists too. This is for them

Im using a mbox and adobe audition at first i was able to double my vocals easy like in one or two takes...now there is some sort of delay..and the doubles are higher then the main vocals...and i didn't move the mic knob higher...well if there is anyone who can help ill appreciate it...thankz for your time...

I need to know how to compress my vocals. I hear that will cure my problem with certain parts of my vocals being too low and when I do amplify these parts it still isn't exact I need to compress them all to equal how do I do this using cool edit pro 2.0? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for taking your time to read this!

Hope you guys can help out:

I've been trying to set up for home recording and am loosing my mind trying to get vocals into the computer.

Here's what I have: Studio Projects C1 mic, Studio Projects VTB1 pre-amp, M-Audio Firewire Audiophile, Sonar 4, Sound Blaster Live soundcard. None of these is very intuitive or came with an adequate description of how to link them together, and no setup I've tried works.

There has to be some trick to this I'm overlooking. I sing prog metal and although these days I'm heading deeper and tighter rather than higher and louder, I find that once I do scream it seems to get clipped during recording. And this is weird because if I'm blasting through the PA I can conjure things that are absolutely piercing.

Hey all.

When recording vocals with my RODE NT1A, is there any way that I can stop the echoing that I get without "padding" my room, etc.?
Thanks.
