Silly ERG1008

That's a Shure SM58 microphone! Everyone knows that M-People had a female vocalist and if they
were going to use a Shure dynamic mic of that range would opt for a Shure SM-57 more suitible
to the 2k vocal peak of a female voice.

Oh no not that

They also had "What have you done to make yourself proud" & "Give yourself a big corporate pat on the back"*

Music for people who don't like music.

^this

If you like Mpeople you should try search for the dickhead inside yourself, it'll be waaaay easier to find.

pedant mode = 1
thats a shure pg58 not a sm, and its the 58 that has the nice boost around 2k for vocals the 57 is flatter around there with an extended low end down to around 40hz, where possible i use the beta version of the 58 for live female vocals but i'm using a sennheiser e865 more and more these days when i trust the people i'm working for.

eyefankoo

pendant mode = 0

1) bollocks that an SM

2) if you want to be a pedant you think the vox for the M People was done with anything else than a Valve mic (if memory serves correct I think they used studio A at Abbey road so the chances are they used one of their Neuman U32s).
3) What use is 40k on a female vox?
4) I don't think I've worked in a profession studio that used either SMs or PGs as a vox mic and I'd say most people use the PG range as drum mics.

On a lighter note: Anyone going to be down the Wytchwood festival this weekend as I'm down there doing guitar tech and FOH.

errrrr...

i think you need to read my post again i was being a pedant to yours about using 57's on female vox, i was describing the differences between them.

also steve albini used sm58s on quite a few records for vocals, including the work he did with the pixies, i'm not really familiar with the u32 though, got a link? ;)

(marky-MALFUNCTION, Wed 30 May 2007, 13:09, archived)

Beyer M201 is the hotness for female vox if it must be a dynamic.

U32 is a diesel/electric microphone, capable of staying submerged for several weeks.
