searching for the "warm vocal sound"---

[threshhold2]

i am looking for the best way to produce this "warm vocal sound"...but on a budget.
I now record vocals with the SHURE KSM 27 going into PRESONUS EUREKA PRE

The 2 options i was thinking of are:
keeping the ksm 27, but replacing the pre into UNIVARSAL AUDIO SOLO 610 which is a tube pre

or-

changimg the KSM 27 into RODE K2 which is a tube condenser.

what do you think?

Have you considered a ribbon mic?

 

[Dogbreath]

Excellent thread, Kid!



Oh, and my wife doesn't like you now.

I've got another mic that I have to get. (SM7) LOL!

No fear tho, I still love ya man...

 

[Dogbreath]

Oh, and Punkin, any particular ribbon you had in mind?

I figure if she's gonna be pissed, might as well make it worth it.

Will get slammed against the wall for this one....Shure SM57, worked well for my vocals for alot of years.

No slam, if it works for you, excellent! I prefer the sm7 and this ribbon (for cheap) http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Nady-RSM-3-...ryZ15198QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ye Godz that's awful. I mean no disrespect but what a terrible thing to put out into the airwaves.

Also Electro-Voice RE20, Sennheiser MD421, or Studio Projects T3 IMHO.

If smooth and natural is O.K. too, consider an EV RE15.

Not as thick sounding as a RE20, which is more "tubish" in tone.
