Chris - I checked all of the mics. I'm really keen on a getting a large diaphragm condenser for vocals...I dunno, if nothing but for the look.

Specifically though, the 635a has lackluster bass response, and I'd imagine I will be recording 'artists' who do a lot of deep "screwed" singing. I'm doubting there will be a lot of actual singing. And as far as Neumann...I'm not just sure I want to give them any of my hard earned money right now =]

I thought about looking at the Studio Projects T3, which is supposed to emulate the AKG C12 much like the C1 emulates the U87...

I think right now my plan has become to buy a UA 6176 and then test both the 4050 and C1 for a month too see who wins.

And as per Drumsound's presumtion - Yes, I am very very impatient! My brain is frying just waiting on the MachFive...and I KNOW when that is coming out!
