Thanks I was looking at the Sennheiser's, will probably go with those. I still try to use all of the home recording tricks, 1. Don't turn the mic up any further than you have too, 2. Sing as loud as you can without ruining the performance, 3. Sing as close to the mic as possible which helps 1 & 2. 4. Rehearse and really watch the ss's, sh's ch's p's etc because you can only fix so much with a deesser. I am the only singer I record right now so I am used to doing this, most client's would walk out if you tried to make them do all of this. It is becoming second nature to me. My headphone bleed is not audible in the mix but I can hear it when I solo a vocal track, and I see the track meters move slightly during non vocal sections.
