Default Re: Hey Im Trying To Decide What To Buy So I Can Get My Vocals Better

I've heard nothing but good things about the Shure KSM mics. You should be able to get fine vocal sounds with it assuming it works with the voice you are recording. I couldn't imagine trying to record all my vocals with a single microphone, however.

like when i try and record it sounds wayyyyyy to bassy
I'm guessing the KSM 27 is cardiod. This means you have to deal with the proximity effect.

EQ is not the way to fix vocals. You need to use the right mic and put it in the right spot. That's about it. It really depends on the singer / vocalist more than anything.

You could dump money into a preamp, but I don't think it's going to do what you think it's going to do. Post a clip on Bash This Mix and we'll go from there.
