Hi,
can anyone give a suggestion of what microphone to buy if I want to record mainly vocals for Pop- and Trancemusic. I’m just want to record a bit at home into my PC.
What would be an affordable good quality microphone?
Thanks guys!

It really depends on your budget… there are an absolute ton of studio mics from £40 upwards.
I use the Rode NT2A its around £200 and sounds amazing.
you can hear audio demos on thomans site… this sounds great for the money.
Apologies for hijacking this thread, but I’m also looking at getting a mic… but the only source input I have currently is an NI Audio-8 soundcard, and it has no phantom power input… so I need either a pre-amp, or some sort of powered mic right? Only thing is I don’t know much about either, what should I be looking for?

You could just get something that has a phantom 48v on it…
Essentially a fancy converter… dont think it colours the sound… but I suppose the issue is always potentially the weakest (or cheapest) part of the chain.
But its not mad expensive to give it (or something similar) a try. You can spend any sort of money on them… this is the cheapest on Musicstore.
Other option would be to get a cheap little mixer and plug that into your SC. Loads of little things like that on Adverts Adam.
What’s wrong with the 58?
Ha that’s exactly what I was looking for - I didn’t think anything that simple existed really. Well, I just didn’t know what I was looking for tbh. I have a semi decent mic… It’s just for recording shouts and vox stabs anyway, gonna be layered with effects, so quality isn’t too important at this stage.
Cheers guys!
