I'm currently looking into buying a microphone to record vocals. I've had the chance to try out many different mics over time (414, AT 4050, KSM32, etc.). So far my favourite for my own voice has been the 4050, however it's out of my price range for the time being.

I have somewhat of a "thin", breath-y voice, and I often record many layers of harmonies for my songs. I need a microphone that's quite detailed in the highs and has enough presence to come through in a busy mix (post-rock/shoegaze style of music).

I'm currently looking into the Blue Bluebird and the MXL V67g as viable option, what do you think?

I'm also considering buying either the SE Electronics Reflexion filter or the Mic Thing, but still hesitating between the two, any feedback on those? Are they worth it? My recording room is not really adapted, best I could do is record in my closet and hang some sheets.

As for mic Preamps, I'm still using those from my Yamaha mixer (MG82CX), planning on buying a dedicated preamp soon.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
