Good mic for voice recording

[Tachy]

Hi guys, I wont buy a good mic for recording voice tracks, growl and clean vocals....I think to buy th At 4040....what do you think of my choice?

 

[PostMortem1666]

ive used an at4050 and it kicked serious ass so i bet a 4040 would be pretty good too.

I love my SM7B

If you're going to buy an AT mix for vocals I'd recommend teh 4060 though I've gotten some really good sounds with a 4047.

Charter Oak Microphones makes some killer mics for about a grand that hold up to a lot of more expensive ones.

at 4040 will do the job nicely. the 4060 is really nice as well if you want a tube
mic. you can get the 4040s all day long way under 300usd. good luck.

Thanks guys!......another question, I'm looking to buy a pair of mics for overheads in the price range of 400 euros, I thinking at rode nt5 stereo pair, but I hear some people are not really satisfied with them........haow do you think?

I'd go for the Oktava MK012s myself...just bought myself a pair and I'm delighted with them. Thomann are doing them for 300€ for a matched pair and I don't think you'll get much better for the price.

 

[Tachy]

ok thanks, I hear really good thing about this mics, I'll check the Oktava!

 

[Metaltastic]

Well my plan soon is to get a pair of AT4040's for OH's, and just use one for vox...the economical solution, but I've heard that 4040s are totally tits for either job, so that's what I'm shooting for.

For voice? I own a pair but wouldn't use them for this ap.

[Tachy]

Yes I'll use the Oktava only for Overheads and acoustic instruments, not for voice.........

 

[Thorax the Herdsman]

Yeah, the Oktava's were just a suggestion for Tachy's overheads question Vocal wise personally I've got a Red5 RV6 condenser, which I haven't used properly in my studio yet but it's received very good reviews for a £50 mic. I've also got my trusty old SM58 to fall back on too
