Hi
Thanks for your advice. I appreciate yours and others' very much.
I am curious to know though. Are there 3-4 all purpose mics you may recommend? the most expensive (brand new) lets say could be upto 4K?
Thanks,

When recording pop/r&B and rap i do compress but never have to that hard. I do compress when mixing down but that's a whole other subject onto itself. I have noticed lately in terms of the best vocals i've gotten to mix are vocals people did at home but with no compression/limiting. Makes it much easier to pick the right chain for mixing the vocal through.
If it were me i would put my money to getting the 3-4 best collection of vocal mics i could afford. Vocal mics that will work on anyone in any genre and sound good.
