I am looking for a reliable workhorse microphone that will be used for 90% vocals. There will be both male and female vocalists focusing on pop and EDM. I will be running the mic through an apollo rack 8 and the room is nicely treated by gik acoustics. The problem is, I haven't been able to DECIDE which microphone to buy...and I can not afford both.

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a KSM44A, to record mainly vocals and speech, etc.

What are your opinions on this almost US$1000 mic?

Would you recommend something different for the same price?

Update: Just stating, I also record softer and screaming rock vocals. Need some versatility.
