Right now I have 2 mics, a Shure SM7B which I like a whole lot for just about everything with the exception of recording my wife's vocals. It tends to lack "airiness" and clarity in the higher notes. It feels a little "squashed" to me on her vocals.
The second mic is a Studio Projects C1 which I really don't like at all LOL. It's OK for some acoustic guitar. I find the high end to be thin, tinny and overall unpleasant.
I'm looking for something for female vocals in the $500 price range. Right now the leaders in my eyes are the AKG c214 and the Blue Baby Bottle.
My wife's voice is Mezzo Soprano, think sort of like Loreena McKennitt or on the rock side think someone like Sharon den Adel(within temptation).
Any suggestions or thoughts on the two mics I listed?
