What’s your go-to vocal microphone? (lemm.ee)

Curious what everyone is using on vocals? I’ve got a 47 clone that I love, but it’s also hard to beat an SM7 sometimes. It’s a classic for a reason!

My locker isn't huge, but taken to the Lewitt LCT440. Quite crisp and modern.

Tracked a singer with alternative vocals with a few almost-screams recently and it did a great job!

I've been looking at getting one of those myself recently. Do you have any experience with recording full blown screams with it? I'm a metal guy, and as usual I cant find a single sound demo of how it sounds through screams.

Then again, I've read a lot of stellar reviews for it, so I figure it'll probably be great no matter what I record with it

Not metal calibre screams I'm afraid, but it handled the pseudo-screamo/post hardcore vibe that this vocalist was doing very well.

I think it'd handle a lot of modern metal well!
