Since I finally forced myself to take the time away from my art to get back to my song writing hobby I've realized how little I know about using all these new fangled amazing tools at my disposal.

I've used the Shure 5655D, which I bought 2nd hand, back in the 80's, along with my then new Ovation Legend and used Yamaha SBG 500 guitars and a little Casio keyboard to ping pong tracks on 2 cassette decks to create some crude but fun filled renditions of the songs I was writing.

BIAB/Realband has opened up a whole new way for me to express myself but with the accompanied info overload I rely on the opinions of more qualified musicians in this and other forums to try to find the best and most affordable options for my hobby.

Figured since the mic was over 20 yrs old, there may have been some improvements since then so figured I might treat myself to a new one for Xmas.

Whether it will improve my vocals any has yet to be heard.
More than likely the old Carnegie Hall, practice,practice, practice adage will make the most difference.

Then again, looking through a Musicians Friend, Sweeetwater, Amazon website is like walking through a musical candy shop, would like to have it all, YUMMMMMMMMM!

Thanks for the sugar rush,
Carkins
