Yes, you can EQ a cheap Shure SM58 vocal microphone to sound insanely good in a mix. Don’t believe me? Watch this video.
You can achieve 1000% professional results in almost ANY space with the most affordable gear on the market.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is either full of it, trying to sell you stuff or has no real-world experience working with audio professionally.
This is especially true for vocals.
Most people don’t realize just how easy it is to produce album-quality vocals. When it comes to producing top-notch vocals, here’s what you DON’T need:
An expensive condenser microphone
To record in a “treated” room
A high-end mic preamp (your inexpensive 1-channel usb interface is more than good enough!)
Analog outboard gear
Overpriced plugins
Do yourself a favor and save your money.
In this tutorial, I share, in detail, how I mix a raw vocal performance recorded through a cheapo Shure SM58 in an untreated room.
Spoiler Alert: It ain’t complicated.
The SM58 was plugged directly into my affordable USB interface which was plugged into my outdated 2012 Macbook Pro laptop.
In other words… A budget home studio rig.
