Holy cow. I see now that there have been a trillion posts about these mics, comparing the two. But just one more time for me, would ya'll please give me your best advice based on this situation? I find that return policies are not very friendly today.
Within the past few weeks, I’ve posted a few threads about microphones that many of you have replied to. I’m pretty sure I’ve made up my mind to purchase either the shure SM58 or the SM57. My question is although they are both great mics, which one should I purchase?
I’ve heard a lot of people suggest that I try out mics before I buy them, but from what I’ve heard from recordings and research, both mics sound great on both female and male vocals.
Extra Info:
Equipment: m-audio fast track II, (no software yet, as I’m saving up for new. I’m downloading a trial of reaper soon).
What am I recording? – (female) vocals, my acoustic and electric guitars
What’s the purpose? – Professional musician, home studio work, YouTube & Facebook band pages. Most use will be for recording vocals, instruments second.
Thank you!
