I've been using AKG 414XL-IIs for my main vocal mic and for overheads. They work great on my setup, I specifically chose cymbals that weren't too bright. Now I am running into a problem with a very sibilent singer and a drum kit with a lot of bright cymbals. None of it sounds awful, but I'd like it to sound better. I was thinking a different mic choice might be in order, perhaps a ribbon mic? I'd like something with a more flattering high end. I love the 414 with other musicians but I think I can do better with this band.
