I think shure 57's are used as both vocal, and instrumental microphones and are supposed to be pretty good. I know they work well live, but someone with a bit of more info might wanna tell you if they're excellent for recording as well.

Yeah, the AKG 414 is pretty mucht he do it all condenser microphone.  If you're going to buy just one, I'd go for that one.

Condenser mics are more expensive..

Is there a reason it has to be a condenser mic?

I'm recording with Pro Tools and I just want a great sounding mic for optimal performance.


I was looking at these:


http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXLV63M-Condenser-Studio-Microphone-with-Shockmount?sku=273158






http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/AKG-Perception-200-LargeDiaphragm-Condenser-Microphone?sku=271243





http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXL-990MXL-991-Recording-Microphone-Package?sku=273166





These seem like pretty good deals.

Not sure which one I prefer yet.

That's what I use to.  It's $200 but well worth the price.

Do you have a mixer with powered XLR inputs?

I don't know if you know already but condenser mic's need power, so if you're mixer doesn't give it you're gonna need a phantom power supply as well which will probably be another $30 at least. Not a lot I know but if you're on a bidget make sure you factor this in.

Can't really help with stuido mic recommendations but if you're ever looking for a live vocal mic the Shure Beta 87's are the nuts.
