Microphone for recording purposes

I wanted to buy a microphone for recording covers of songs at home, so kindly suggest a suitable microphone in the range of 1-2k, as mics like the SM57 or 58 are practically unaffordable for me due to their very high price

 

I dont know any good ones except the shure sm57
i always say never buy sub standard cheap ass dick gear save up for the sm57
its the industrial standard for recording mics
and you need an interface too for that
i use
shure sm57->apogee one->mac
btw do whats your rig??

 

^True... Don't waste money on cheapo mics... I have a SM58 and it definitely is worth an investment.

 

hmmmm i also need a mic for home recording....

can sumbody tell me abt a good USB mic...

 

Shure SM58

@ Rickkkyrich: Dude, should I go for a Sennheisser ??? I've seen their mics cost something like 2k or instead go for a Shure, please clarify ... And I do know SM58 is worth an investment, but it's quite costly

 

i haven't used a sennheisser mic so cant say.. shud be decent.. i have a senheisser headphone HD202.. its quite good though...

 

i have an SM57 and a rode NT1A, between them i'm covered for practically any amateur mono recording i want.... the SM57 was the best 3k i ever spent. thiking of getting a shure SM7B now.

 

SM57 for 3k? where man ..where?

 

used. off the RSJ forums. long time ago.

 

the sennheiser ones are pretty decent.. i've one e815s i think.. pretty decent for the price.. had got it for around 2.5k or something.. i've also used an SM58 before this for sometime.. the sennheiser is pretty close..
