Vocal Mic other than SM7?

[Josh Burgess]

Hmm, I guess I've got some decisions to make. The SM7 seems to be the best for screaming vocals, which is all I really want it for. (Though if it can do singing too, that'd be nice)

I think it's probably going to be my best option, and I almost have enough money for one.

There's a video on youtube of Brandon Boyd from Incubus in the studio tracking one of the songs from one of their albums through am SM7b

I'm not sure how I like mine yet. I haven't gotten a chance to use it too much yet.

My band recorded our demo with an AT4040... I didn't quite like it, to be honest... IMO, too clear, too trebly and not enough body for what I wanted to do....

I prefer the SM7B by a long run...

 

[LSD-Studio]

I'm using pretty much nothing but the sm7 and AKG c414 XL II ......don't feel the need for anything else yet

Actually, the SM7B is GREAT for singing through as well... you can hear that on Warrell Dane's solo record, Mustaine's vox on United Abominations (I believe), and a lot of other great clean vocalists like to use it in the studio.

i was gonna say, a LOT of people use the SM7 for non-screaming/aggressive vocals...incubus, RHCP, michael jackson are just a few

AND HETFIELD, YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!

I've got a 1st gen nt1 that sounds good but a little sibilant depending on the singer, and I've got an old NTK that sounds amazing on most singers.

Screamers though, SM7.
