New mic???

[Noah Nelson]

I own an AT2020 mic that i use for vocals and i am happy with but i think it would be fun to play with another mic that sounds different! Any suggestions on mics?
PS Nothing over $1000 lol thats outta my budget!!!!

I can't imagine not having either a SM7b (personal preference) or a RE-20 for vocals... Far and away the most used vox mics I have.

Yes, far more than the U87, which really isn't all that great of a vocal mic by comparison IMO... But for strings or wind instruments? Sure.

7b, RE20, PR40, MD421 -- All basically tailored for the human voice (although they're certainly capable of more). You're doing yourself a disservice not having a couple to choose from... Pick any 3 for around $1k (or just grab a 7b and a P-Solo and there's your vocal chain for just about anything).

Ditto on the SM-7B or similar mic.
If you can pick-up a new or used sE Electronics Z3300A on eBay or elsewhere you'll get a TON of Bang for the Buck. TON.
EXAMPLE: SE Electronic Z3300A Large Diaphragm Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone | eBay

Of course, you should have at least one Shure SM57 for guitar amp micing......

Hey Im a newbie here and see the term "VOX" used here a lot, can you tell me what that means thanks !!

It just means vocals, Tascam Man.

if you snag an RE20 used, you'll have roughly enough cash to scoop up Lindell Audio's 6-slot rack, and build yourself a DIY 1073 clone preamp for said rack.
