Need a new vocal mic under 500. Any suggestions? Avantone CV-12? SM7b?

Forums

I am looking for a new vocal mic. I currently have a RODE ntk but not crazy about it. Seems a little to harsh. Any suggestions for under 500 dollars?
(style is similar to coldplay/u2 stuff.)

I was considering the Shure SM7B or avantone cv-12. Any other suggestions or thoughts?

thanks

POD X3 does vocal pres?

Forums

In my recent online search for a few new items I need (an addition to my live bass rig, and a one or two channel, relatively budget priced vocal preamp) I came across the specs for the latest POD additions. (Line6 POD X3 Pro). Apparently they've crammed both the bass models and the guitar amps into the same unit now. "Sure, whatever" I thought.

what software recommended to synth a vocal or drum recording

Forums

Can any recommend a software for Cubase 4 or 5 compatability to do synthesizing effects on drum and vocal analog recorded tracks. robic sounding vocal stuff and cool drum intro stuff etc. I downloaded a demo version of Alchemy(?) but couldn't figure out how to get it to do this even though they say it can. They have a cool demo video.

LDC Vocal mic shootout suggestions?

Forums

My life is pretty hectic for the next two months, but I'm considering doing an LDC vocal mic shootout after things settle down. This is mostly me wanting to add a better mic to the locker for female vocal. I feel like I do pretty well with my dynamics or the K2 for male vocals, but I'd like something more "elegant" for female vocals.
