Upgrade: Mic or Hardware?

Sunday September 29, 2024. 03:08 AM , from Gearslutz
Hey y’all, I want to make an upgrade for my productions and overall sound of my records. Currently my system is as follows

Conversion: Lynx Aurora (N)

Lead Vocal Microphone: AKG XLII

Hardware / Pres

* AMS Neve 1073 DPX

* API 512V

* Distressor

* UA 6176

* API 525 (2)

I want to eventually add a solid 2 bus compressor (SSL G COMP or Alan Smart)

I also want to eventually upgrade my main vocal microphone as I feel I can do better than an AKG XLII which I’ve used for over 10 years now on vocals.

Forgive me, rant over. The question is this, should I upgrade my main vocal mic to the Soyuz 017 Tube Mic or should I wait and add a great SSL style bus compressor to my current setup?

I thought it would help to leave a link to my music so you can hear for yourself where my sound is at, maybe you think vocals are fine and I could benefit from an SSL style compressor or maybe you think the vocals could be better with the Soyuz Tube and I should wait on the SSL? Let me know

(If links don’t work look up Roderick August, song “If It Gets You Low - EP”)
