I was wondering what the best live sound vocal mics are out there that everyone uses. I have a great condenser mic i am using for recording and studio stuff, but want a great live vocal mic.

Also, i was wondering what vocal effects the dead used in their live sound...

I really dont know jack squat about mics lol. But from what I hear Shure SM57 i think its called is a good mic for the price. Might be the SM58 not sure. One is vocal the other is for instruments. As for Deads effects I definitely hear some Reverb on here and there. Other than that I wouldnt think they use any effects. Again though, I dont know shit about this stuff. Just figured Id try to help the best I can.

Cool myspace page. I added you as a friend, check out my stuff. The SM58 is the vocal mic and the SM57 is the instrument mic. I can go that route but wanted to know if there is anything better out there.

You can't go wrong with an SM-58, and the 57s can work for vocals too. AKG and Electro-Voice also make good mics. I'd keep the condensers for recording since you have to worry about phantom power which some PA boards might not have.

Hey added ya back. Ya I knew it was one of the two lol. Those are the only mics ive ever really heard about. I record on a cheap little iPod mic haha. Doesnt come out too bad considering though. Im looking to get something to multi-track. Maybe 8 tracks. Hmm time for a new thread lol.

I have a boss Multi track recorded i will sell you. I have graduated to protools and have a dedicated Mac for it... That is what the tune "one of these days" was recorded on.

Which one is it? I was gonna get the BR1200 but ended up buying a guitar instead lol. Stupid me haha but yeah any one of them is good at this point. How much? Pm me

Yo Blob
Cant go wrong with the SM 57.Good bang for the buck.
Everyone should have a few of these.Essential.
Great for mic'ing cabs and a solid vocal mic,too.
Built like tanks.
Unless you are recording direct (YUCK) you are gonna need to mic a cab sometime.........
Good luck Blobster !
