It's fine in my book.

However, I don't usually sing right up on the mic for recording. (For live,... of course you must get right on the mic!)

For my recording "studio" works, I'd use an SM57 on vocals at 1'~3' distance, with PLENTY of GAIN on the preamp and EQ it to brighten it up a bit, plus SING OUT quite a bit. There's no proximity effect at 1'~3' distance, eh.

When I use a 57 for recording vocals, that's pretty much the way I go about it too........use alot of gain and back off it. With alot of gain, it works pretty well.
 
i have a deep bassy voice, would the SM57 be just fine? sorry i don't have the money to buy each one of them just to try them out...
 
go to a music store & try & test

BTW how did you get so much bad rep for 9 posts

It doesn't even take that. The rep thing is pointless. Up till about a year ago, I don't think anyone on this site had maybe more than 20 rep points, unless they had been here for years. People made up threads to jump their rep really high.

Now you can be on this site for twenty minutes, and have hundreds of points, whether you know anything or not. Or get negged hard, for no reason.

I'm just guessing here. But I imagine that someone does not like your name, or signature and gave you nex based soly on that.
