if i was to choose a small hand full of decent vocal microphones for my new home project studio which ones should i get? under $500 is preferred. currently looking into the mxl v89 and the AKG 200.

i've recently understood that even a hot rodded vintage Neumann won't sound as good on say a certain female vocal than an mxl mic might. i understand it depends on so much.

Hello,

Which mic is better for R&B vocals? I wanna get the modern sound of R&B nowadays. So should I go for a M-audio Sputnik or AKG C414 B-XL II Condenser Microphone ? and what is a good firewire audio interface ton use? is a M-audio profire 610 a good one? thanks for the help.

Hi,

I recorded some vocals recently in the studio and found myself sounding a lot different to how i expected.

I don't think this was so much because i haven't heard recordings of myself, it's because i was projecting my voice more than i ever had and struggled with it.

Our band is going to record a demo of the whole album to make sure we like all arrangements, before we go to the studio and go broke.
We steel want it to sound as good as possible.
