Gone
Ok, I took a couple days off of work next week and am going to rent a microphone to do some vocals on a couple new tunes that I have in the works...and maybe rework some older ones.
I think I am going to rent a Beta 58. Since the local shop is geared more at bands, they tend to carry a very wide selection of stage microphones over recording mics. I appreciate the comments made by some of you on other microphones, notably the C1000, but I don't think that they are in my budget or right for what I'm trying to do.
So here's the question. Assuming that I like working with the Beta 58, should I purchase it? (~160 bucks from radio shack online)
That is, if I was to buy the Beta 58, would I kick myself in the ass down the road with "oh man, I should have bought <such and such> for the same price. I would have been so much happier!" You know that my setup is very limited as is my voice (which I think might benefit from the 58 eq)....
P.S. S8-N: I decided to take your advice and not try to do all the vocals in one day...so I took off tuesday and thursday. Thanks for your comments.
