Hey, I'm on a really tight budget, and I was wondering what would be the best mic for recording non-screaming vocals , Audix om-2 or the Sm57?

Oct 25, 2004 12:42 pm oh, I thought you were considering BUYING one from your "tight budget" comment.
Between the two, I dunno, I would try them both and see, I would suspect the Audix might be better for vox though...

Oct 27, 2004 12:11 am I will second flame on that. I use the Antares Mic modeler and it works pretty well. But make sure if you use a 57, you tell it your using a 57. Then it can match up to the others pretty well.
Oct 27, 2004 12:33 am Your qualifier "non screaming" intrigues me. If you have a very good vocalist you will probably not be satisfied with anything less than a reasonable quality large diaphram condenser. But a lot can be done with subtle changes in eq, a little warming, and of course as mentioned modelers. Patience is also a key, and attention to detail. I also very much agree with dB. Try the things! One should fit your vocalist better than the other. I will hand some vocalists a my nasty old Audio Technica. Does a great job of flattering the singer than just should not sing as it is not all that sensitive.
