Your First Microphone



SM57

      Basically your first mic will stay with you for a while so you want to make a descent choice. Now regular people may be thinking that a microphone would only be for singing, well they're wrong. Your microphone can be used for singing but also for recording the electric guitar, bass guitar or drums. It is important to take this into consideration in order to stretch your dollar. There are many types of microphones so first we're going to explain a guitar mic.
     The Shure sm57 , a dynamic mic, is my preference because of its unique ability to be right up against the amplifier which is the best spot to get closest to the actual sound of the guitar. I also enjoy using it because of its ability to use it overhead on the drums and for back up vocals. This would cost about $100 which is standard even though the quality matches $150 to $200 competitors.
