[yoyoyo1]

alright..i was recomended this..i only do hip/hop vocals and my engineer told me this was a great mic for male vocals... it goes for like $300....my rig is probably going to be the M-AUDIO FIREWIRE SOLO connected 2 my PC..is this mic good or should i maybe try another mic??

I have a 4040 and really like it for myself. It seems to be pretty transparent, and easy to use.

i use the 3035, and man do i love it! i'm sure the 4040 is even better.

Yeah man the AT4040 is a great mic, clear, very sensitive. If a moth farts in the room it will definitely be heard loud and clear!
Go get one man!

is it mainly good for male vocals or will it do justice to female vocals as well?

(i'm thinking about getting a pair.)

 

[giraffe]

in my experience it works best on people who have thinner or naisley voices,
(makes them sound a bit bigger)
someone who already has a big voice will find that this mic sometimes lacks some "mid focus" that helps to put a voice on top of the mix.

YMMV and all that.

i only have one, but would love to try them as ovrs.
(they for some reason seem to me like they would accell at that.)

Just got my 4040 today. After playing with it for about a half hour, I'm not disapointed at all. It's a nuetral mic to me, I was using a KSM27... To me they sound similar but different...lol Both are pretty transparend, I however think the highs on the shure were a bit smoother. 4040 is a reccomended mic and I see why.
