Is the sennheiser MD421 a good mic for vocals?

May 11, 2010 Recording

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MD421 I own one of these and my band is going to start putting together a real studio as our setup for the first album was difficult to say the least. Should i use this mic for vocals or just get something different for vocals. Would something basic like a SM 58 be any good in a studio situation?

May 9, 2010 Guitar, Recording

Hi there, Apologies but I am new to this forum and this is question is about the first condenser mic I have ever bought, so I’m a bit of an amateur. I bought an SE1000a condenser mic to record at home.
