I'm an acoustic guitarist/singer looking for that one mic... I guess I did somthing wrong because my last post was removed *shrug* Anyway I'm trying again. I can spend 1-2 grand and I'd be using it through an mbox with pro tools. Thanks

I just got a G5 mac with Pro Tools and the Mbox. I do acoustic recordings alone. Guitar, Vocals, and a little acoustic percussion/shakers. So it's pretty simple. but I'm wondering where to go from here. can anyone recommend a good acoustic/vocal mic? I read the monitor post and I know I should get some soon as I'm using headphones.

I'm going to pick up a new vocal mic soon to be used on male rock/blues. I'm looking in the $500 - $1000 range. If it helps, the preamps I've got to chose from are the Focusrite ISA428 and Vintech 1272. Will also probably try using with acoustic instruments and distant mic for kick drum.
Regards,
Joe

HI all,
I was just wondering if anyone here who REALLY loves this mic, especially for vocals. While it's heavily criticised in some quarters, some people of course are fanatical about it.

Looking for a good vocal mic in the range of $500.
Any ides?

A couple of Danish producers/engineers, among them Mr. Allan Bregnedahl and Torsten Matthiessen, got together this summer and tested as many microphones as they could get their hands on. A very interesting test, and I thought I would link to it here. It's in Danish, so I will just translate the introduction:

"The Great Microphone Test Vol. 2

I need to get a mic for my sutdio to record lead vocals, and maybe other applications, which is better in your opinion or by the specs

Shure ksm27?

or

AT 4040?

or is another mic "better" in this price range

Thanks in advance

hey everyone. really wanna know what you all think of this list and which mic OVERALL excels for vocals. the mic needs to be ordered by sunday.

the price of the mic needs to stay under $600, unless that good.. but i can't touch 1000 right now b/c i need to get the new pre.

this is whats on my mind,

dan made me do it

Has anyone here ever recorded opera singers and can recommend:
a good mic $1500-2500 range and a pre at same range

Harmonics in the opera voice is a fundamental characteristic to the sound and I wouldn`t want these overtones to be compressed. Any specific mic used as a preference. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Remigio
