Having both perspectives lets you balance the snare side to top side sound regardless of the space. Plus peoples tastes vary and having options is always nice.

Which AT2035? The USB one? The XLR one? I'll assume XLR since you need phantom power. If you get an interface, it should have the power needed. If you're going into whatever cheapest option you have available, you'll need something for it. But dollar for dollar, you'd be better off getting...

Sm58 is supposed to have a rise in the higher EQ band that favors vocals. But SM57, SM58, and SM7b actually have the same element AFAIK. Effects "AFTER" recording in all of my cases. About the only time you want them BEFORE is when a) it's a live show, b) you know what you're doing, and c)...

Sometimes adding that last little bit of gain digitally, versus running your preamps full bore can make a bit of difference in overall noise. For roughly equal results.

It's basically WAV to MID software. For voice, you might have to autotune first. And be prepared to fix/adjust the results. A good recording chain helps too as it doesn't have to try to find out what is content and what is noise floor. And you might want to avoid singing words and just sound...

That seems almost normal to me if you have noisy mic(s). 20+dB noise A-weighted. Or if the A/C is running. Or there's a computer fan in play. You could probably lower that noise a bit with some room treatment. Otherwise normal to me on a < $500 a channel chain with high gain 40+dB in an...

Base your opinion on samples of the mics in use, not just OTHERs opinions. Trust YOUR ears most. If you can't find samples of a mic in use, it's probably a clear indication that you're not good at searching, or no one liked the mic enough to post a sample of it. In either case, it'd probably...

You're going to have to zoom in (a lot) to get to shift by individual samples. Or just create a 50 sample silence and insert that before the left track. (and after the right track / make them match). When they're split of course.

The 6dB difference between channels is more obvious. And the math seems to suggest that (48000/50) would affect frequencies at or above 960Hz most. Which is worse than I thought. But is hard to notice on the original track given the gain difference.

Left gain available 8.9dB Right gain available 2.9dB Your levels are off. 6dB shy on the left channel / channel 1. And you appear to be 50 samples fast on the left channel. According to audacity. Which can adjust those differences. Split the stereo track. Amplify the Left channel to...

If you're using the interface that came with your computer (i.e. soundcard), it's likely a major contributor. Probably providing plug in power that only adds to the noise issue. But it really depends on what you mean by buzzing. The aforementioned is more of a "hiss". Buzzing to me is...

If the SM58 is a real one, and works, you could turn around and sell it for $50-ish. Everything else is a bonus. i.e. ^^^ what they said...

I have one of those mics. It sucks. Output is way low, so you've got to run the gain super hot with all of the noise of that process. In it's favor, the noise is such that even audacity's old noise removal method could remove it. But it still doesn't compare well against your more standard...

On stage ONLY? In studio ONLY? Not that there's much choice on that budget. SM57 / SM58. Maybe both if you buy used. Beyond that mics can be very application specific, especially in that price range.

The snaps were fine. Cool even. The reverb on the snaps was just kind of out of place IMO. Like a good band performing in a bad cafeteria.

Your mics probably are NOT the issue. You might look at preamps so you can run your RE-20 fairly hot without the noise floor. Or as much of it at least. Lots of options in that price range. Otherwise change your monitoring setup to something more trustworthy. Sounds good to me. You might...

I have the ATM75. It's "okay"-ish. Kind of a high noise floor. Very limited frequency response range. Obviously meant for LIVE work. Or troublesome singers who can't keep an orientation to a mic. In the right situation it can be a decent mic. But per your health concern, virtually no...

ATH-M50, HD280, 7506, and others are common mentions. I have 280's. To tight on my small head. Which is probably good for isolation. But not for critical listening if you're distracted by the comfort factor. I used to have Sony MDR V-600's and they didn't age well, but a decade of use out...

Cheap monitors are probably better than NO monitors IMO. There are things that you can/will hear on monitors that you won't hear on conventional speakers. Low end rumble of wind noise will be a lot more evident. Even electrical buzz (power lines) and faint radio stations that might have gone...

Generally speaking 1/2 MSRP value is a good starting point. Depending on where you live. Cables can be a bit iffy. Are we talking radio shack specials, or Audio Magic / other $300 a cable brands? That and used cables can be more questionable than most used mics. Dragged through mud, run...
