whats a good pick for a mic for hip hop and rnb? u87 or tlm103. should i get the Neve 1073 or 1176 universal audio?

Hey guys, I've just purchased some software to get prepared for my recordings and now I'm looking to find a good mic. I've always recorded rap/hip hop music and my friends tell me my lyrics are very good but that my cheap mic makes the tracks too ugly. I was hoping I could get some recomendations for purchasing a mic that will give my vocals the quality that they demand for my tracks.

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.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this site so i hope i've posted this in the right section, if not please forgive me.

Basically my problem is this;

I've recently bought a Shure SM58 mic for my home studio with the intention of recording rap vocals.

I sow many rappers (on tv mostly...lol) when recording put they mic upside down... why?

I will use the mic i buy onley for rap vocals. Now i heard great things bout 3035 but now i have a chance to buy 4040 to. Now my question is will it be that big diference if i would use it just for vocals? Cos if not i would rather buy 3035 and save fiev $ for something else...
thank you

Last fall I did a multitrack recording of my friends band playing live. So I went to order a 100' 16-channel stage snake. Unfortunately at time of purchase I was down to the wire with time and bought the only one I could get which was the horizon 100' 16/4 stage series. Did the recording and the snake seemed to work just fine.

Hi there,

I would like to know whether there's any difference between recording rap vocals in a stereo track versus recording it in a mono track. I record my rap vocals in mono tracks for no particular reason. Should i be doing it stereo?

Hello,

I'm setting up a home studio. I want to record rap vocals with the best possible microphone, pre, and sound card within my budget. I will be recording my rap vocals with the help of a sound engineer I am hiring. If you want to hear what my voice sounds like please visit:
