I have been recording our vocals with a Blue Songbird and Audio Technica AT 2050 that I own, and plan to rent something for our next EP just to see if it's better. The music place near me rents out Neumann, Rode, Apex, AKG, AT etc for anywhere from $50 to $250/month. I'm not convinced a $4,000 mic is really all that much better (that's the $250/month one) so it's kind of an expensive experiment.
Has anyone used a wide variety of mics, and for rock music, is there really that big of a difference in quality? (BTW, our singer if f*cking incredible....she could sing into a laptop mic and it would sound great so performance definitely isn't an issue...)
