I placed my order....did I make the right decision?

Hey, I have been doing a quite a bit of research on a home studio vocal setup. My voice is medium-deep in tone and pretty aggressive, kind of a mix between dre and tech n9ne --anyways, kind of unusual. I am currently using a setup over at my buddies. Blue Baby bottle condenser mic going through a Focusrite Platinum pre and mixed in Nuendo.
We have been able to get some really good sounding results but I noticed that my current combo didn't always flatter my voice.

After reading multiple forums and reviews I placed an order for a new setup. I had to go with the Shure SM7B and the True Systems P-solo. From what I read, it sounds like it fits my style. I also grabbed a RME Hammerfall 9632 to interface it with my computer where I will be mixing in nuendo. I should be receiving my setup within the next couple of days, so I will let you know what I think. Until then take a jump over and listen to the track "fall in" -- I am on the first verse and it should give you a good idea on what my voice sounds like....did I make a good decision. www.myspace.com/shutdownproductions

Also, I live out in the middle of nowhere so I don't really have a chance to try any gear out in person --- just goin off online reviews Thanks

Ahhhhhhhh buyers remorse!
Nope, nothin' wrong here, move along folks, shows over.
Nice choices, have fun, get to work, stop dawdling here and go record something!
 
Probably the first thing I'd pull for that kind of voice would be a much more aggressive (bright) condenser like an ADK Hamburg (or maybe even a Vienna... I haven't tried one). Either that or use a ribbon where I could significantly EQ it afterwards without it sounding harsh.

That said, a lot of people seem to like the SM7, so maybe it will work reasonably for you. I've never used that particular mic, so I can't say too much about it.
 
Well ... if everything works well for you, sounds good and holds up well ...

... then you made a good choice.


If it doesn't, then you didn't.
