Hello all,

Hi. I'm looking for another darker mic that has a less harsh top end to my other mics for recording vocals:-

RODE NT1a
Studio Projects B1
MXL V67g
T.Bone RM700(ribbon)

What would you recommend within this budget?

Hi

I'm trying to find a vocal mic for my own voice that has a bit of bite without sounding too cheap. My voice is smoothish (hear it at http://www.mooremusic.comau if you want)

Im currently using either
1 a RODE K2 which I find gives a 'too smooth' 'closed in' type of sound with no openness

So we have about 2 condensers and 1 sm57 for my snare. Ad we have about 8 vocal mics. Is there any easy way to record drums with vocal mics?

I am a singer who would like to record myself performing in master-classes in a fairly small rooms and recital halls. I am usually singing either by myself or accompanied by piano. I will either plug the mic either into a recording adapter I got for my iPod or directly into my computer (macbook).

Hi. I'm looking for a new vocal mic to record a mezzo soprano gospel singer (Aretha Franklin style) because I found my RODE NT1a and Studio Projects to be a little harsh and brittle on the top end.
I've narrowed my choice of mics down to these :-

MXL V67g
KEL HM-1
T.Bone RM700, Cascade Fathead 2, Nady RSM4 (same mic)
Shure SM57 or Sennheiser E840

I'm looking to get a good stage mic to use for vocals on a alto/tenor-range female vocalist who is just a little breathy...

I'm looking to spend

Shure Beta87
AKG C535EB
Beyerdynamic M-88 (might be over $300?)
Beyerdynamic TG-X 80
Beyerdynamic Opus 81
Electro-Voice N/D767a
Electro-Voice 367

I currently own a Sterling ST55 but I constantly need to boost up frequencies in post-production to make my vocal recordings sound more full. I want to get rid of it for a new one but I have a few choices and some criteria.

-Under $400
-Large diaphragm
-Built-in -10dB pad

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 end either, here are some of the mics I have researched and considered. Any advice and personal experience with these mics would be greatly appreciated.

I realize there are no rules, but what is a standard distance one should be away from the mic or pop filter?

How far should the pop filter be away from the mic?

How far should a singers mouth be away from the pop filter?
