    the one in your pic. I've had it for a few years and it's amazing.
    I honestly don't know wtf is going on with this company. How can they make such high quality products for such a cheap price. I also have a headset from them and it's incredible.
    Are all the other companies uber israelite and this is the only good company left?

    Check out Podcastage on YouTube. He does hyper autistic microphone reviews and compares voice samples back to back.
    The AT2020 is a little old at this point. Has a very harsh boosted upper range, but that also leads to a sense of clarity. It’s also a condenser microphone, which tend to do poorly with untreated rooms. It’s fine, but there better options for your use case.
    A Shure SM58 is my general suggestion for cheap music recording.

      Sm57 handles guitar better (including acoustic) and can still do vocals. Dynamic and needs no phantom power obvs

        how does it handle vocals tho? the sm57 is mainly seen as the "guitar and drums" mic no?

          Sm58 is technically identical except an added windscreen head basket

      and what i mean is this. here is recording i done awhile ago to test something. and with condenser in untreated room you gonna be coping with fx usage A LOT. to the point of using parallel compression just to compensate for poor SNR

            no, condenser. it picks up room noise a fuckton when it's untreated. so knowing that, dont fall for it. they meant for real studios where rooms are treated

      would this work fine in an untreated room?

        If you have an untreated room then no mic is going to work good. You'd be looking at dynamic mic like an SM7B or MV7X.
