  • can i use SM 57 for vocals or SM 58 for instrumental?

  • Again, use the SM-57 is for instruments and the SM-58 is for vocals. You can switch them if you want but it will be a different sound (maybe good for the song, maybe not).

    If you can get a better vocal mic, then use it for vocals instead but the SM-58 can be used if nothing else is available.

  • The SM-57 is for instruments and the SM-58 is for vocals.

  • if u are recording at home and u want to use this mic do u need a pre-amp or can u just record straight onto your computer?

  • You usually need some kind of preamp with any microphone unless it is a USB mic.

  • If you can't produce any audio better than this..... don't be offering advice The SM58 is a great mic.... but you are a lousy producer.

  • these are Awesome :D !

  • would this work on a boom for a web series? how would it handle sound on a boom with 2+ people talking underneath?

    do you suggest a cheap alternative to use on a boom and will produce good sound without hissing and the like?

  • So your an expert on audio? But can't make a video with good audio? NOOB!

  • You should set decent audio levels on ur videos lol

  • Ever try the beta version?

  • @khaliqovision hey i got this microphone but can i use it for a studio microphone

  • youre black

  • what's a good cheap speaker or set-up to use with this microphone to get good inexpensive quality sound?
