BTW EVERYONE: I have a sm57 on the way.......I'm still looking at the cascade victor and trying to get some info on what i will need should i decide to get it too. Will I need a pre-amp for sure or will the Mbox have enough gain? |

Re: Microphone suggestions?
Yes it has plenty, so no you don't NEED TO buy another mic pre because of that. Whole another reason would be if you some day WANT TO have a better-sounding preamp...

I didn't know the Mbox has that much gain. My old first gen mbox didn't have that much. But yes you should probably be okay. If not you can try something like the cloud lifter.

This is all a waste of time worrying about now, get recording. Skill, practice and the Peavy modeling amp are much more likely weak links here than what mic is used. Darryl |

Take the sm57 and try out positioning, distance, angles, room acoustics... You will learn how it behaves and sounds, and THEN you will be more in a position to know what you need, and which mic will suit you. |

And I mentioned earlier to start with a 57. Learn it inside and out. Once you can dial it in on an amp, you can dial in almost any mic on an amp.
