[QUOTE="Alan Hamilton, post: 75253, member: 1799"] Re: The SM58... And there's the other side of the coin... Someone gets their esoteric, 'sounds so much better than an SM58' mic, foisters it onto their band(s), and then spends the whole night trying to get it to sound like an SM58... or 'fix' the monitors for the vocalists who can't seem to find 'something' they are missing in the wedges (that 'something' being the familiar response and their ability and understanding of how to 'work' a 58). If your vocals don't sound at least 'good' with an SM58, fix the sound system or find a vocalist who knows how to sing and use a mic. IMHO... (Which is not to say that an SM58 is the BEST choice for everyone.... It's to say that it's a standard for a host of reasons and sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel... and just because you think a mic is 'better' doesn't mean the person on the other end of it agrees).
