Quite often you can find them on sale at Guitar Center or Sam Ash for $90 and sometimes they have the standard package of mic stand and cable for $105 which isn't bad considering, though not such a good stand. Every studio should have a couple 57 or 58 microphones though would prefer a different mic for vocals. Find just the right spot on them and do a good job with congas, bongos and shakers etc. There are of course some famous people who do use them on vocals too but a bit limiting. Certainly good for variety though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D!J!X!" <megamansuperior@xxxxxxxxxxx>

And now that we're on the subject, one of the bands i work with will be recording a demo this spring, i'm going to be producing/recording it etc. I wonder, does this sm58 work well on stuff like percussion? It's a lot of salsa and latin jazz stuff, so i'm talking about very dynamic playing of congas, timbales, cowbells, bongos and some other minor percussion. Also, what would be considered good mics for overall use with wind/brass instruments, mainly trumpets and bones, but might have a sax and/or flute here and there...

These are the best mics I've found for balanced acoustic response, reliability and durability--for the price! They're not expensive. But they're not cheap quality! They're Shurs!

I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality vocal microphone for myself for studio recording purposes. I hear and read that capasitor or microphones are used these days instead of dynamic microphones and that they use phantom power. I understand those things but now I must purchase a good one. The shops hear don't keep stock of those kind of microphones so it is very difficult to get one to test with. I just wondered what some of you guys are using? I know you get mikes that are very expensive like the numan u87 and so on but I don't have that kind of money haha. I think this can be a gnice discussion.
