As some of you know, I have 4 or 5 songs I'm getting ready to lay the vocals down on. I've only recorded vocals a few times in my life, but it was a long time ago. I used a Peavy PVM22 back then, basically Peavy's version of the Shure SM58. (I have one old song I did in the "Vocals" thread if anyone is interested in hearing it)
All I have now is two SM58s, and if I'm trying my best for a radio-quality pop recording, am I wasting my time with a 58? Do I need to get a decent condenser mic, or will the 58 do the job? I'm still finishing up writing lyrics and game-planning a makeshift vocal booth/area in the "studio", so I do have some time. I just want to know if the best idea is to get some money together for a nice condenser mic, or if I should just go ahead with the 58.
I have done some research, but opinions are all over the board, so I'm just curious what everyone around here thinks/uses.
Thanks!
