Re: audio technica 3035?
We have a 3035. I think it can be a very useful mic. I'm not sure about what else is good in the price range, but if you need a really versitile mic, it may not be your pic. It has a very present midrange and high end, not much warmth, and a tendancy to be way too harsh for some female vocalists. It also has a very low self-noise level.
The 3035 is perfect for mumbly male vocalists because of it's high end and midrange presence, and can be useful for other things as well. I'd say compare it to others you have in mind and see what you like best.
I don't know if you're the guy that emailed me last night, but on our site, the Second Skin song "Scream Yourself to Sleep" had all the vocals done with the 3035 and no eq or compression (if you want to hear how it sounds thru a Digimax). On the deathrock project I'm currently producing we used the 3035 for a room mic for tracking the guitars (I'll be getting a baby bottle soon to do the vox for this project).
