of the ones you mentioned AT 3035.

I would also say check out Mxl V67g, and studio projects B1.

 

[scrubs]

Definitely, the grey one.

AT3035......no contest.

 

[ndycus1]

out of the three you mentioned, definitely go with the AT3035. i've had very good personal experiences with that mic. but i do recommend that you check out more mics before you decide to purchase.

i don't like samson mics and i just heard wave files of a friend who recorded vocal stuff with a 4035 (if im correct) and it sounded real nice

AT has a decent 'name', and especially that model is nice,
i wouldnd't doubt too hard, forget about samson

Why Samash? Get a CAD M179 ora Marshall V67 or a Studio Projects C1. I recommend the CAD but I like a clean signal on vox, the Marshall and SP have a little "color" to them, not a bad thing, in fact it can sound very good I just prefer flat so I can work with eq and compression to get what I'm after.
