I have been recording for awhile, and with a surprising amount of success, using Garage Band. Everything on the songs we have recording has sounded pretty good, but the thing that is struggling the most by far is vocals. The vocals just lack presence and sound very out of place, and even with reverb added, it just sounds like you're screaming from inside of a tunnel. The vocals are now recorded using the computers built in mic, so the other day I was seriously considering a condenser mic. I came across the MXL 990 condenser mic which was VERY cheap and also thought a line 6 toneport could do some good because of the low quality built in effects on garageband, and the lack of some type of vocal preamp. Would the condenser mic be a good upgrade to improve the quality of the vocals, or Is there any other setup that would be better? (for a very strict budget that is)
