Well, maybe you should start respecting yourself 🤷

Seriously.

The benefit of the SM58 is that you can throw it with 50 others loosely in a box, ship it around the planet and then throw a full stack turned to 11 at it.

The sound quality is really awful.

It doesn’t matter for its use case, because it’s meant for garage bands and touring, where usually it’s the pa and the acoustics that screws up the sound more badly than the mic can.

But for recording you can get better stuff cheaper.

Thanks for the hint. I am pretty satisfied with the results tho and even do audiobook recordings with it 😅🙏

You do you 🤷

In my case the issue with the audiobooks is my voice… mic doesn’t help with that unfortunately

But seriously, try a large membrane condenser one day, you’ll be blown away by the difference.

Dynamic mics where design to handle extreme stage situations, not for the studio.

Unfortunately i life in a very noisy place and condenser mics pick up all that stuff. The sm58 does a great job of only picking up my voice

Yes, for canceling background noise it is decent. Check out Audix OM5 and OM7 if you need something with better quality and even more background reduction.

The OM7 is overkill for you though. It’s meant to not have the drum set on the vocals of the drummer.
