So I'm considering buying the Neumann TLM 102 condenser mic or the Neumann BCM 705 Dynamic mic mainly for vocals, but I just want to make sure it's worth the 700 dollar price tag. I live in a small apartment, I don't have any special room or soundproofing, so my question is will I be able to use the full potential of this mic without a sound booth and other specialized equipment? With my setup will I get a whole lot more for that 700 than I would for a mic that's say 400? Should I instead invest that money in a Ribbon mic? Or a Valve mic?
A friend of mine has also recommended the Beyerdynamic m160 double Ribbon mic. Thoughts?
I'm looking for something that will give a smooth, warm, rich feel, I have a tricky voice and getting it to sound good through a Microphone hasn't been the easiest.
I'll attach two songs, one Original and one Cover so you can get a sense of what I do and how I sound. Sorry if the mix is rough, I'm new to all this.
Ivory Tower-me (used the sm58 on this)
Sunday Morning-Maroon 5 (used the condenser on this)
Okay so this is my setup:
Focusrite Scarlett 2i4o interface.
Shure SRH 440 headphones
Seymour Duncan "Woody" Pickup (passive)
Yamaha P-60 Keyboard
Roland TD-15 Electric Drum Kit
Shure SM57 and SM58
2 Audio Technica AT813R Condenser Mics
Going into Reaper (I'll have Studio One soon)
