Jaz, this sounds like a worthwhile endeavor to me.

Agree with all choices above and would like to throw a used Shure Ksm44 in the pot.

And by the way, I'm sure I couldn't always tell the difference in a final mix. I know I spend too much time obsessing about things that have little or no impact on a final mix. I take comfort in the fact that I'm not alone though.

Why did you mix 20% 4033 with your sm7b? Did it add something the sm7 didn't have on it's own?

Are you REALLY saying it's hard to tell the difference between a condenser and a dynamic?

When you do treat your room , I would avoid foam products and go with broadband trapping. There is lots of information on this and other boards and you should read all you can before deciding. Lots of good info on the GIK and RealTraps sites are a good starting point. Frank here is a very good...

I think you just don't like the 3035. The condensers I disliked in my untreated space, I still disliked in a treated one. The ones I like in the treated space already worked for me in the untreated space. I treated for mixing much more than tracking. I still sometimes track with condensers in...

An untreated room is undesireable. You know you need to treat your room. Since treating mine, all of my microphones please me a little more. That being said, the good and bad characteristics of my mics were apparent in my untreated space. I understand why people recommend dynamics to peaople in...

Then are you sure you have no eq engaged in the software on playback?

More gear isn't going to help at this point. Are the EQ settings flat on the vlz?

And by the way, what is the vlz outputting to?

How close are you to the mic? Where did you get the mic? Did the mic ever work for you? The last thing I would call an sm58 at close range is thin. The proximity effect of that mic is fairly large but you have to be right up on it. If you are eating that mic and it sounds thin then I would say...

Congratulations, that's an impossible price!

Which tube mics DO require phantom power?

Thanks for the rep and the kind words!

A stupid question that shows my ignorance... what does "side address" mean? I know it means not straight ahead, but does it refer to either direction (neck or body) specifically--or just one of them? Sorry, but I've got to learn this stuff somewhere. Thanks. It just refers to the orientation...

Great suggestion! You could even have a pair for your $200. I like my mxl 604's for acoustic but I hear a lot of complaints from others about 603/604's so YMMV. The Shure Ksm27 sounds great on acoustic guitar and they are going at the $200 mark now. Some people rave about the Cad M179 for...

You would use the other if you were recording in stereo with 2 mics.

I like my SM7 but find it to be overrated on the internet. It does a job and does it well on some voices but is not the end all dynamic vocal mic. I most times prefer a sennheiser md441 for my voice. Depends on the song though. Never used a 421 so I can't comment there.
