My first album is mastered and looking back I'm pretty happy with what the SM-57 did for me. I've got one and I used it on every stinking instrument and I gotta say, it handled to my liking.
But perhaps I only like it because I haven't used others yet. I think I can spend up to $300 in the future for a mic that will really give vocals a better sound. And, heck, I'd use the mic on anything else it beats out the SM-57 on.
Any advice?
P.S. On a different note, it seems that most everyone here is against using the SM-57 as a studio vocals mic. And I can understand that. But what I find really, really interesting is that Peter McIan recommended the SM-57 in his chapter on studio vocals. What's up?
