...do people think you have to spend megabucks for a damn microphone? You spend most of your life on stage and you will see people making amazing music, and they do NOT spend most of their pay on microphones. They're only a TOOL and no amount of money or bragging rights will ever make them a better singer. I've had singers sound like they were using a $ 20,000 mic, using a Shure SM 58. Money spent on brand names do NOT make you a better singer....OR musician.
