Hi evereyone,
I am a italian indipendent singer songwriter, 7 years ago I started writing, recording and mixing my own songs, trying to learn as much as possible about music production, and beside that I found my self with 5 millions streams on Spotify, recording and mixing everything myself, with this gear:
iMac 2013 with Logic & Cubase
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
Audio Technica At 2035
Audio Technica AT50X Headphone
Kali Audio LP6 monitors
Partially acoustically treated room
By the way I feel it's time to upgrade my gear, in particular I was thinking of a new mic, in order to give to my vocals that "pro-sound" that I'm looking for.
I've done thousand of researches to try to figure out what was the best mic for me but i'm still not sure about what to buy.
I will MAINLY use this microphone for Vocals and also some acoustic guitar, and this is the list I have for now:
- AKG C414 (I heard the XLII is better than the XLS)
- Neumann TLM 102 (but it is mainly suggested for Rap vocals or Voiceovers, right?)
- AT4050 (I now have an AT2035 and it has been great to start learning music production)
I have a budget of $1000,00 , I mainly do pop music, something like Ed Sheeran or Charlie Puth, nothing too complicated.
Unfortunately, I can't go to a shop and test the mic myself because I don't live near a big city so I have to choose from home, I hope you guys could help me
Feel free to add some more suggestion, apart from those I mentioned, what do you think would be the best mic for my voice?
Thank you!!
