Re: Whats the best overall mic for vocals
For my last CD, I rented a 1955 Telefunken U-47... SN in the 500's. Worth more than my truck.
How deep are your pockets? |

I'm hoping to get one at some point. To attempt to answer the question though, there is no "best mic". The choice of mic may need to vary with the situation. Some voices are bright, so wou may want to avoid the AKG C414 and go for something like the BPM CR10, or a Rode NT 1000. Other voices may be boomy, so you'd go for the C414 .... That's the sort of reasoning that might prevail, so you could end up with two or three Mics in your (small) arsenal. I have a C414, a BPM CR10 (could you tell?), and believe it or not, a Shure SM57(!) that I use for vocals.

Re: Whats the best overall mic for vocals
Don't let people tell you "there is no best vocal mic" - there is... and it can be found at your local radio shack for about 30 bucks
