recording hip-hop/r-n-b vocals

[xrap03]

i'm looking to replace my berhinger b-1. i was wondering which mic would be good for record hip-hop and r-n-b vocals? my price range is up to 300 dollars. thanks for your help

Can you rustle up another $30?

For one of these?

Alternatively, there's this one on eBay right now

that looks good but i was thinkink about a shure ksm27

 

[xrap03]

or the at4040 but i've also heard some good reviews from some people about the rode nt1 a

 

[chessrock]

Hmmm. This is a really tough one. I'm gonna' have to go way out on a limb, then, and suggest ... a Shure ksm-27, perhaps? Maybe an AT 4040? Call me crazy.

 

[noisedude]

You're crazy.

Happy?

 

[Mark7]

Nutty as a fruitcake.

 

[pkmusic]

I think what they are trying to say is SM7.

 

[Carter]

I vote for the Rode NTK

AT4040 is great for rap vocals. Clear as day.

R0de Nt1-A is fantastic for recording farts and queefs.

I've used (the original) NT1 on my first demo....

I own a SP B1 now and I gotta say I like it better for rap vocals...it's
more ballsy

[chessrock]

Xrap - that's a yes, plus, I wanted you to know that if you say 'xrap' quickly over and over again it turns into 'it's crap'.

 

[xrap03]

you know, that's true. my initials spell rap and i just put X for the hell of it.

Hey that's pretty cool ... my intials spell 'nik' which is why I've always abbreviated my name that way.
