Im considering getting a mic for the studio.....

[2GooD Productions]

Ive been looking at Rode Mics, and I like the look of the NT2a.
We have a Rode mic in the studio, Im not sure of the model, but I like the sound of it, It has a good wide frequency response, we also have an SE mic but that seems to be lacking in the bass, but is clearer.
Im looking for a decent studio mic, not really interested in the shure, I think thats more of a home production mic and not so suited to the studio recording environment.
At the moment I think the only thing we will be recording is vocals, but might expand in the near future to session recording.

Anyone got any tips or advice?

i have a Rode NT2A. it's a nice mic, just a little on the bright side. nothing that can't be worked around with some eq. also have a shure sm7b...it's the best mic i've used thus far...at least to MY ears.

fuck it, i will probably just go with the shure then. I only ever hear good things about it.

The SM7b looks good.

I don't know about the SM7 (looks great though), but the one I use on the Attack of the Beats! show I've had since 1995! Shure SM58. Great mic, very rugged. Mine's taken a beating, had MC's drop it on the floor, banged into the wall, etc. Highly recommended. No matter what, you can't go wrong with a Shure mic.

i've heard of people using the SM58 as a hammer before a show, and then turning around and using it to perform with....rock solid.
