opinions on mic for vocals

Forums

hey folks, I am starting a mobile recording company and need to get a bunch of good (not great) mics quickly. So, the first purchases are for close mic'ed choral groups. Close meaning about 6-8 feet. I'll need three of the same type mics for these first applications. Eventually, I will need a variety of mics for symphonic all the way to contemporary project sessions.

Are the A/D D/A converters part of the audio interface?

Also,

Everyone says great converters is where its at. Which ones are good without spending a ton of cash?

I am thinking about buying a digi 002. But I heard the coverters are crap?

If I bought logic pro what interface would be best?

Just want to hear some opinions.

Recording Bloopers

Just to have some fun, vent a little, and perhaps add some spice to the forum, I thought we could all share some horror stories while they're still fresh.

As the season winds down, you may have a couple of good ones to share as well.

Most of my gigs go quite well, with a lot of repeat clients who know their stuff, but horror stories can still happen. :twisted:

Metal Vox

I have a session Tuesday for my final project. I am tracking on an SSL 4056 G+ console. I am tracking and mixing a metal band, what is the best Mic and Mic technique for recording vocals that will sing and scream? My Mic locker goes like this. AKG
