Hello!

I would like to have your advice about my next purchase.
I've the opportunity to have a Shure SM58 + preamp Steinberg CL1 for 150€ (~197$). Is this deal worth? I haven't found any test/review about the Steinberg CL1? Do you recomend me it?

Then I've discovered the Blue Spark, which I could couple with the CL1. But now comes the question: Do I still need the Shure SM58? Is this last one good enough for parallel recording of voices/instruments? Or the Blue Spark is really better?

I will use it in a studio for instruments' and voices' recordings.

Maybe other products to advice me? What do you think about the Blue Yeti?

Thanks!

The Blue Yeti is an USB microphone - you may not want to go there. ;)







Goodbye Jon. :(
 
Yeah, but what about the Yeti PRO?
I'm a little bit lost in this domain. What does XLR give more than USB?
 
USB microphones have the A/D converter built in . A XLR needs and interface - hopefully with a mic pre.

Okay, and returning to the discussion, are these Blue microphones a lot better than the SM58? Or is this one good for parallel recordings?
 
Just explain to me what you mean by Parallel recording first. Then we will take it from there. :)

If I want to record different instruments I can record separately each instrument or records everything together, at the same time, with more microphones (ex: voice + piano + guitar)
I only would like to know if the difference between a Shure SM58 and a Blue Spark is hudge or not and to know if it's worth to keep a SM58 if I have a Blue Spark.
 
Most Microphones are one trick ponys while other have a niche of being good at capturing multiple sources.
You may consider have a fully loaded microphone locker for your every need.

If you get the 58 and preamp, you'll also need an interface to plug that pre into.

If your budget is tight a USB mic might be good. Otherwise add another $200 for an interface.
