Hey all I have been writing/recording music in my own little project studio for a couple of years. Recently I have started working a little more seriously with a friend of mine and I would like to upgrade my microphone setup.

Right now I am using a Nady sp-1 which is a basic cardioid dynamic mic. I would say that it is very comparable to the sennhieser, shure, audio technica, and behringer mics that I have used in various studio and live environments.

I am actually pretty happy with the way it has preformed for me, but it is time to upgrade. Right now my chain is mic (SP1)-- (ART) tube pre amp--computer interface (usb)--Cakewalk Sonar 8 (studio edition).

I am looking for something to help smooth out some harshness out of the top end and possibly some sybilance. Here are some examples of my voice. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=753054

I have been thinking about the Marshall MXL V69 Mogami edition tube microphone, I have also been interested in the Nady RSM series of ribbon mics. Does anyone have experience with any of these. What else would you recommend? I would like to keep the price down on the low end of the spectrum.

This will only be used in my studio. Thanx
