Here's a quick tip on mic choice for you if you're a vocalist.. it's pretty simple reasoning but many are unfamiliar that the kind of mic you use to record can make or break the record.
Typically, if you're soft to medium energy singer or rapper, meaning you don't vary too much in volume or you're soft spoken, you want to use a "condenser" microphone. Condenser microphones are usually the kind you see in pictures of studios... they have more weight, require 48 volts of phantom power, and are sensitive to your vocal. It picks up small nuinsances of your vocals... really nice for ballands and other songs where the vocal is prominent.
If you're a dynamic singer and vary in volume a lot, or if you're recording a high energy song, go with a good dynamic mic (hence the name 'dynamic'). Dynamic mics range a lot when it comes to quality so pick a good one! These mics will respond to your vocal range nicely and will have an energetic feel on your recording. Condenser mics will distort if you get too loud and will have a harsh sound when too loud of a source is put through. Now if that's the sound you're looking for, have at it!
So choose your mics wisely! Happy Recording.
