Mics!

<< < (6/10) > >>

Melodic:
I love mine. It's a little pricier than the SM-57 but it has a ton more uses because its frequency range is much greater. Anything you can't record with a condenser, it's genius.

Patrick:
I don't like the Betas so much for live sound specifically because their broader frequency range naturally leaves them a bit more susceptible to feedback (simply because more frequencies = more gateways to get fuxd), but I've never used one to record. I want to try one for it, but I have no Betas at my disposal anymore. *sigh*

idontunderstand:
How about using the SM57 for vocals. What do you guys think about that.

(It's, sadly, the only mic I have right now)

Patrick:
Done it, doesn't suck. Just gotta make sure you don't fucking move an inch.

Jimor:
The main difference between the 57 and the 58 is that the frequency response curve for the 58 has its peak in an area suited for vocals, but other than that they're pretty close to the same mic. That may explain what Patrick is talking about, since if you move out of the sweet spot, you'll really notice.

At the TV station, since most of the programming is talking heads, we have lots of SM58s, so we have the opposite situation where we have to use them on some instruments and amps for the music shows, but they work out fine.
