Considering that I already have SSD EX, Trigger Platinum and a Sterling ST-79... Should I get:
A) Superior 2.0
B) Shure SM7b
Both are similar in price range (assuming I get the SM7b used). Right now, audioMIDI has the EZDrummer to S2.0 Crossgrade for $100, so I could buy EZDrummer on eBay for ~$70 and have S2.0 for $170.
I really like what I've heard from S2.0 and most everyone on this forum seems to use it as their preferred drum program, but I'm enjoy the tones I get out of SSD and while I'd really like the flexibility of S2.0, I'm unsure that the sound quality will be an "upgrade." At $170, I don't really want to spend the money if the sound quality is only marginal.
The other 2 choices are fairly obvious - I already have a decent condenser mic for vocals (ST-79), but I'd really like the flexibility of having a decent dynamic for vocals as well. Plus, I can use it for micing guitar, hi-hats, etc. Only problem is, I haven't done much recording lately that actually used a mic... though I plan on having some bands come in next month, so it could be useful.
What do you guys think? I plan on getting both at some point, either way... but which should I get first?
