Need a mic, help. (Recording Mic)
Posted on: 01.10.2012 by Jeramy Akinola
Hi, I've been producing Hip-Hop for quite a while, also a little EDM, but mostly Hip-Hop instrumentals, and now with a couple of friends who write, we've decided to start recording at my house, problem is I don't have a mic, and when I searched for one in guitar center I had no idea which one to choose. Please need help, anyone who knows about recording mics. Help appreciated, thank you. (A good price would be appreciated also)

A $300 dynamic mic was used to record most of Michael Jackson's vocals. "Dynamic" doesn't mean it's not for serious recording……just the SM58's popularity is really overblown.

I personally like the Audix OM 7

for decent instrument and vocal recordings an sm58 with a cheap presonus preamp should do just fine... you can also look at some of the lower end mxl's if if you are on a serious budget

FWIW - a couple MCs I know made mixtapes with the Blue Yeti and they sounded pretty damn good. If you're on a budget I'd recommend it.

What gear do you have?

What kind of voice are you recording?

What's your budget?

How serious are you?

If you're serious, an SM58 is a talkback mic or a hammer. If you're doing it for S&G, it's probably all you need.

You'll also want a decent Mic Pre-Amp.

Can't go wrong with a SM58
