Hey everyone, I've been looking to upgrade from a good to a great vocal mic that doesn't break the bank. I've been wanting a tube mic but I haven't found a good one for under $500. Any suggestions?

i really like the Apogee Duet 2. i think it has the least feature for what i need and is potentially the most bang for the buck in my prioce range of around 600 - 800 as long as it isn't loaded with crap I'm never ever gona use, i sing, and play acoustic, and do multitrackin, on the fly i wouldnt want more than 2 or 3 inputs. dont need any crazy features.

Ive done a lot of research and asked many questions, and I've narrowed the choices down a lot and would appreciate as much input as i can get.

For mics I've seen a LOT of people mention the Shure SM58 and SM-7b. My other choice, that I've also seen a lot of positive response for, is the Audio-Technica AT4040. I know one is dynamic and one is a condensor.

Hi,

I'm looking to add either a Neumann TLM102, Audio-Technica 4047 or CAD E100S to my mic collection and am torn on which to buy.

I am looking to upgrade to a better quality microphone to record acoustic rock and alternative vocals. However, I am looking to stay within the $250-450 range. What are people's suggestions of some good mics. I am looking for a mic that records good clear vocals. I want something that really captures the vocal performance not the extra noise in the background (in my untreated room).

I'm personally following Fab Dupont's recording and mixing tricks, specifically hybrid recording and how he does it.
I just finished watching this video on how he used Royer mics to record some of Will Knox songs. It sounds really good and I hope you enjoy this. I love the sound of this artist. Reminds me of some old Led Zeppelin acoustic work.

I'm recording a songwriter with 1 large condenser; vocals and acoustic guitar. Also, I'm Micing a cello, and a violin with a RODE ntg-2 shotgun. I'm running both into a Zoom H4N recorder. 

Here's a mock-up of how I intend to set up. Nix the back-up singers. Any ideas or tips?
Much appreciated!

I have a Electro-Voice N/D767a microphone that I really love. It sounds great for live vocals but I wanted to know about the N/D367. I work a lot with female vocalists and I have two in my band and I have read that the 367 sounds great for females.

i'm looking to buy a invest in a new, solid vocal mic. my singing consists primarily of rnb and soothing acoustic style, and i'm planning to record acoustic guitar/piano(maybe) as well. my friend currently runs sterling's st69 and the sound is pretty clear/solid and good for my tastes and it goes for about $600

I am starting to take recording seriously, myself and friends have a group that raps, with occasional singers for choruses, etc. I am piecing together a home studio for us, as now we are recording into a laptop at various locations. I am in IT, so the computer was easy (and cheap).
