Microphone choice

You cant go wrong with a Shure SM58.

I second that tzoid. The level comes out a little bit low but once you normalize the sample its great.

plus you can clean the dust in the studio with this mike.

Your best bet would be to get a condenser mic. Yes, you can use a Shure SM58, and although it is a damn good mic (especially for the price), it is best suited for live applications. I have both a SM58s ("s" means it comes with a power switch on it) and a wireless SM58 and am happy with them. Go over to musiciansfriend.com or zzounds.com and look for condenser mics under $100. You'll find some pretty good brands and some good mics. Look for MXL mics (cheap and good). Just get a mixer with phantom power to power your mic, connect your mic and Fantom X8 to it, and you got a yourself a nice little setup.

I use the behringer B-1. Although you will need to power it (+48v phantom power) The sound you get out of this baby is awesome.

Beautiful warm ballad vox, or screaming Napalm Death screaches.... you can get it all from this mic.

and at £60.... you cant go wrong.

Fantom (sorry, phantom power adapters will cost you around £20 if you cant run it from a desk into the X

I've got also a SM58....GREAT!
But.............don't buy one with an switch, because.....
if the mic is off and you set the sound high......put the switch on......
FEEDBACK!!!!!!

My mic is always ON......so I can controll it better.....
