Hey there!
I am finishing my very first CD. It was a mess of experimentation that turned out surprisingly good considering my lack of experience and the way it was done. For this project I used a cheap SM-57 clone because that's what I had available.
In the very beginning I started with a fancy Behringer C-3 that costed 10x more, but right after the first tests I noticed that it was a piece of crap. Noisy with a harsh sound. Very disappointed I picked the 57 clone from the box (I had bought it but never used till then) and got my jaws falling when I see how better than the C-3 it was. Not necessary to say that I put the Crapinger immediately on sale and got rid of it...
Anyway, not being a singer I didn't have previous experience singing therefore I don't know nothing about mikes.
In a couple months I should start my next project and I would like to look at it a bit more seriously. One of the things I am after is some advice about microphones. Would it worst to invest in a more appropriated mike for vocals or stick to the SM-57 is my best option?
I have seen people hyping about the MXL V-67 and the Avantone CK-6 (both fit in my budget).
Knowing that I am a hobbist producing myself at home and with absolutely no one commercial intentions (give away albums) what are your opinions?
Thanks!
PS: I use a pre-amp Behringer MIC100.
