Shure-7b...man, a lot of people say its good, and others say its wack. Have you used this mic before?


The reflexion filter is on my purchase list! The Shure SM-7b is a classic, I have found out that it fits on most voices and another benefit is that your sound is drier due to fact that is not a condenser mic, which catches more of a room resp. bad room! Another nice mic is the Studio Projects C1 which a friend of mine has and the results were also very nice.

The Apogee Mini-Me is a great recommendation! With it you´ll have great convertors and a good preamp. A cheaper sollution would be a Lnyx One soundcard combined with a Rane MS-1b preamp. I don´t know how much better the Apogee convertors are, but the Lynx One soundcard is a nice, fast, stable soundcard and a lot of GS-members like the Rane MS-1b preamp. If your looking at the used market the Lynx One costs approx. 220,-- USD and the Rane MS-1b approx. 140,-- USD (at eBay the lowest price was 60 bucks).

If you want a good cheap compressor for tracking and saving clipping than you must look for the DBX 160x... Save this classic gear.
