Interesting thread as I am in the process of upgrading my vocal mic. RODE NT1a kit or MXL 770 are top of my wish list.

Songs: See footer of my post.

Mic: Esynic BM700 (less than 20 UK pounds). Using XLR and 48v phantom power (see pre below).

Pre: Steinberg UR242

For singing I use a Floureon B-800 condenser microphone, a steal at $20.99 USD. In front of it is a pop screen and behind it is a Vocal Shield 1 VS-1.

For acoustic guitars I use either the above mic or a
Piezo transducer pickup, $15.99 USD

Note that I am a bottom feeder when it comes to mics smile


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Got that Floureon B-800 condenser microphone too Mario, same blue colour as well, I also have a cheap Shure dynamic mic cost around the $30 mark.

No expensive mic is going to make much of a difference as regards my vocal ability I think.

Hi Colly,

Great post! I am a singer and have had some great success with my Beyer Opus condenser mic. I use it for both live performances and in the studio. I don't have anything posted that you can listen to but I mention it to provide feedback about it. The only downside I've found about using a condenser mic is that not all systems (especially older ones) have phantom power (required for condenser mics.)

I'm enjoying reading everyone's input. Thanks again for the question.

I use my mxl-V63M for everything when recording. It is a condenser mic, so I wouldn't use it in a live situation. I got it for $50 on sale.

Here is a song that was written and recorded in one hour based on a challenge (so there was no time to properly EQ and all that stuff): http://fawm.org/songs/61265/

Recorded: Vocal/guitar together on one track and then a track each for guitar, me beating on the guitar like a conga, guitar lead, extra vocal and shaker. (maybe listen under headphones would be a good choice).

Here's a dropbox location if you have trouble with the FAWM link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101504714/10_i-must-be-a-ghost.mp3
