For context here's my current gear.
Interface: Apollo Twin X
Mic 1: Rode NT1 [ NOT the NT1-A ]
Mic 2: (older) Blue Baby Bottle [ NOT the SL version ]
Was wondering what the best microphone is for this price range. I sing/rap, mainly pop/hip-hop music. I know many people suggest the Slate ML-1, but I feel like that wouldn't utilize the unison preamps properly on my Apollo. So I'm curious what the best type of microphone is for the Apollo, for male vocals. I have a slightly deeper voice than average, not considered a baritone or bass by any means though.
As a side question, which uad unison preamps are best for male pop/hip-hop vocals? I know many people say the voxbox and avalon are good, but just curious what your opinions are.
Thanks
