Setting up a studio

[VDz]

I just Order a digidesign control 24.
now i'm looking for a good mic to use wit it
I'm thinkin of pickin up a shure ksm44 or neumanns ( Not sure which one)
what mic would you recommend to for laying Hip Hop Vocals
and what mixer and other equipment should i get to go with my digidesign control 24 board?

All depends on the voice of the user. What kind of rappers you recording. Higher voices, mid range, Barry White lows??

What Digidesign hardware/interface package are you using with your control 24?

As for mics, there are so many choices.

Some standards for voice include these dynamic oldies:

EV RE20

Shure SM7

Shure SM57 or 58

I really like the AT 4060. My friend has one and his vocals sound clean and creamy...if you understand what I mean. It's a tube mic, but it doesn't sound like one. I guess. I've heard so many cheap tube mics. Haven't heard the bomb tube mics.

That KSM 44 is probably fne too. One thing you will probably want is more than one mic. Each vocalist is different and there is no one mic that will sound perfect on all voices. No mic.

Peace.
