Title: Good, cheap mic for Black Metal
Post by: MagBaX on October 13, 2020, 01:46:15 AM
Hey, i wanted some advice on some nice microphones. I plan to record some black metal and maybe use it for online games, but my main focus is the musical one. I do have some money to spare, 100usd though in my country that's a lot, but i'd like if you could recomend me some cheap, nice options. Thanks!

A Sure SM57 or 58 is probably what you're looking for at that price point. Industry standard live vocal mic, works well on guitars and snare too. Mostly useless on bass.

I've used an SM57 for bass on multiple recordings, not useless at all. There's probably better microphones for bass, but it gets the job done no problem.
