This isn't your typical 'best mic for cheap' thread. Particularly, I'm in a space that is not acoustically treated, so for vocals I thought a dynamic mic would be the best so as to avoid recording unwanted reverberations bouncing off the walls.
I ordered the reputable SM58, but now I'm having second thoughts. I've heard better things about the AKG D5, and particularly the Blue Encore 100 and 200. Specifically for vocals (I'm in between a tenor and baritone, with a bit of a nasally voice), is the SM58 truly ideal for vocals like my own or should I consider an alternative?
Would a condenser really be that bad an idea? Perhaps with a cardioid condenser I can get the premium vocals I'm after while avoiding excessive unwanted artifacts?
Either way, I'm really in need of help, and long story short I have to act fast if I want to cancel the sm58 order and get something else. Thanks!
