It will definitely give you way ore options to get an audio interface that will let you use XLR mics.I wanna go the XLR route. I will probably buy the Focusrite scarlett solo. Right now I was thinking of the AT2035 or Shure one.
They are. The SM58 is one of the old standards in the industry.Are these condenser mics? good for vocal recording for music production?
I'll not list all of the mics I own because I've been collecting them for a very long time. But I currently own 3 RODE mics. The NT1-A would be their base vocal mic in a similar category. It's a nice mic. But I think at the NT1-A price range, I'd stretch a bit more because there is a fairly significant break point once you get above 300 euros. Then you are in the SM7-B or similar category.I will take a look at the Shure ones. Do you have experiences with Rode?
Hey there,
I am also a vocalist and I used to have a Rode NT1A and I really didn't like it. Even though it is a very popular mic for the entry level price it is very harsh for a female voice. I used to find the SM58 sounded better even though it is a dynamic mic.
I have since bought a SM7B and it was definitely worth the money.
Hope this helps.

Going second hand was a smart move!That's a shame. I missed your message. Just got the NT1A second hand for 100 Euro. Maybe I will resell it in the future and go for the Shure SM7B, which is out of my price range right now. Thanks for your help.
There is a lot of opinion in that article masquerading as objectivity...Yikes
Shure SM7B is great
But if you are recording in a studio situation [for best sound] than the Rode is much better [it's a condenser rather than a dynamic mic] - i.e. it needs a power source
But condensers have been studio mics for a long time, for a reason
Shure Sm7B is great - but for recording, it's a step down
Shure SM7B vs Rode NT1 Review
For most people, the microphones from our smartphones and laptops are more than enough for basic podcasting or vocal recording, but there are many reasons why you should invest in something a bit better and more professional. In any case, itΓÇÖs better to buy a one quality mic right away than...churchsoundtips.com
I have Rode NT-2. I am in a metal band and my vocalist has a wide vocal range so this is not a bad microphone! This is a condenser microphone which is better for higher ranges/its has a more sensitive frequency response.I will take a look at the Shure ones. Do you have experiences with Rode?
The NT1-A is good for singing + acoustic, while the SM7B is good for narration + voiceover, but that's just me lolThat's a shame. I missed your message. Just got the NT1A second hand for 100 Euro. Maybe I will resell it in the future and go for the Shure SM7B, which is out of my price range right now. Thanks for your help.
