Hey Guys,
I need a little help with selecting a mic for singing in my little home studio which cannot be soundproofed. It just sheetrock and a tile floor and lots of furniture so there is no echo that I can hear. The only things that I need to mic are the vocals and maybe an acoustic guitar. I will use the GNX4 to record directly all other instruments. I have looked at the Shure Beta87a but I am concerned that outside noise will bleed into the recording. For that reason I am also looking at the Shure SM7b. I will be plugging the mic into my Digitech GNX4 Guitar Station which does have phantom power if needed. The Shure support staff is giving me mixed signals about using the SM7b for singing (as opposed to broadcasting) and using the Beta87a for recording. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
