So when you hear everyone tell you how all of these recording were done with sm57's etc; remember this..... That sm57 was going through some really good high end preamps, and converters in a killer recording environment.
So what am I saying.... Tackle your room acoustics, it will help ANY mic and recording; and the mic is a smaller variable in the equation.
