Another Mic Question...

[Robertt8]

I've been told many times to record vocals and guitars with two mics for a good stereo effect, but I never really tried it until last night...and I'll be damned if that doesn't sound freaking awesome!

Here comes my problem. I've only got two decent mics...and unfortunately, they're both the same kind (Shure SM58 dynamic mics). On the guitar it sounds okay, but on the vocals when they're placed in different spots, I get one that sounds pretty good (right in front of my face), and the other comes out sounding a bit high (placed further from my mouth)...like there's no bass or mids...I mean, obviously I don't want them to sound exactly the same, but it's not as beefy as I thought. Like everyone else in the world, I'm on a pretty tight budget. Here are my questions...

What are good cheep vocal mics that might work well here? Maybe one dynamic and one condesor mic? good placement?

Also, would I use roughly the same stuff for acoustic guitar recording?

Thanks...

look into mics made by nady,marshall. there not the super best of mics but there prices are low and they can give you an ok or good sound.

Here's a little reading for you, my friend.

Your positioning for vocal is wrong. Also there is little point in trying to get a real stereo image on vocals as you will probably end up placing it as a mono signal in the middle anyway.
