The BEST mic for podcasting, voiceover, rap vocals
Shure SM7B Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Pair this with the Shure SM7b for even better sound and lower noise floor.
Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator
ZERO latency; record through world-class UAD plugins
UA Apollo Twin X QUAD Heritage Edition
Less DSP than the Quad, but more budget friendly
Universal Audio Apollo Twin X DUO Heritage Edition
it's the most popular vocal mic in every home studio; now with USB
RØDE NT1 (5th Gen)
Pretty much every sound you could possibly need; I use this for everything
Native Instruments KOMPLETE 13 Ultimate (27400)
These mics are incredible! I bought two of them so I could record guitar and piano in stereo.
LCT-440-Pure Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The most rugged, durable, time-tested mic EVER. Every studio. Rees at least one. Great on vocals, snare, guitar cabinets, or whatever you throw at it.
Shure SM57
I love this mic! When used with the included modeling software it's like I'm using a U47 or C8000G or some other $15,000 mic
Slate Digital VMS ML-1 Modeling Microphone
My daily driver. Simple and effective.
M-Audio Keystation 49
Small and portable; drummers feel great (like the MPC60)
AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3
Literally the best mic at this price
Audio-Technica AT2020
If I could buy one mic, it would be this one. It sounds incredible of everything! It was my “go to” mic when I used to work in the recording studio
