I currently am using a Shure Beta 58A to record my vocals which is of course a dynamic. I've gotten great results from it once the vocals are mixed and mastered but now I want to take alot of the hassles out of that process with a new microphone. I've been looking around and pretty much narrowed it down to two mics, the Rode NT1 and Shure's KSM27. It's been a very hard choice to make, I've checked the reviews on musicians friend and it's made it even harder. My budget is 300 and both fit the budget easy. The thing is with the Rode I was going to get a preamp with it, the Presonus TubePre Microphone Preamp to be exact. Which is better? I am only concerned with the greatest vocal quality possible, so what is my best bet? The Rode NT1 with the Presonus preamp? Or just the straight up Shure KSM27. Someone please help me with my choice. thanks
