yeah I agree with what was said earlier, the MXL 990 has been a good mic for vocals and it is not expensive. Otherwise, I would try a ribbon mic for vocals unless you are recording metal, punk, or something of that nature.
By the way I have a Shure Drum Mic kit for sale, It includes 3 sm57's and one Beta 52A kick drum mic for 300. Case and all manuals included. They are like new and only used once - Band broke up
Well, Im in Kern County, Ca.
