I am looking to upgrade to a better quality vocal mic. The studio equipment I am currently using is:
A DAW equipped with a Gadget Labs 824 interface
A Alesis Studio 32 Mixer (16 channels each with mic preamps)
I mainly record my band which is basic loud rock'n'roll. I am currently using a collection of Shure SM-58 and SM-57 mics. I have been pretty happy with them, they have been good instrument mics and decent for vocals, but I would like to get one or two better quality mics for vocals exclusively. The way the Alesis mixer works is it turns on phantom power for all 16 channels or not at all, so I think I will avoid condenser mics for now. And since my studio is more of a (money sucking) hobby than a (money generating) business I have to watch my $$$$$$.
After looking for awhile I thought that the Sennheiser MD-421 seems to fit my bill. I would appreciate any opinions - I know computers pretty well but don't have much experiance with different mics.
