Hi,
I am looking for advise from the experienced engineers/ producers on this forum with regard to my next mic purchase...
Details: The mic will be primarlly for recording my own vocals for my next album. I have included a link to a sample recording of my voice, my voice can sing quite comfortably over three octaves and I am looking for a mic that will capture this. Most of the recordings will be close miced and intimate, surrounded by organic acoustic instruments (I think). The sample recording is an old song recorded years ago on a 4 track so forgive the production but it gives a true representation of the vocal range of my voice, all the voices u hear were performed by myself...

Currently the best mics ( or my most favorite) I own are an AKG C414 LTD and a Shure SM7b
My better preamps include focusrite isa 430 mkii, jomeek twin q, 2 x golden age preamps.
My budget is around €1000 and of course if more suitable cheaper mics come to mind feel free to mention them. Also if any preamp that u think would be just perfect for my voice don't hesitate to mention it...
It is impossible for me to test gear before I buy as I order my stuff from the UK or the USA so i need to rely on reviews, forums etc for advise
Regards
