This weekend I am going to record a song for a female singer.
She does not sing very high, but she is loud, really loud. She has quite a nice full voice with a lot of character.
Not sure what mic would be best. At the moment I have to set up in my parents basement due to refurbishing my house. The room is cluttered with gear, but it has limestone walls, marble-cement tiles and a concrete ceiling. So I cannot back off the mic as much as I want due to the crazy amounts of reflections in the room.
Mics available I have SM57and 58 which are what I am considering. I also, have MD421. Then I have sE X1 and Blue Bluebird which I think may overload due to her loud voice. Also, I have Oktava MK012 not sure how suited they are for vocals, but they are one of my best mics. Then I have a D112 obviously not suited and a t.bone RB500 which actually could work.
Apart from audition each mic, which is impossible due to the clutter I have at the moment, which mic or 2 would you suggest?
