I've been recording and making music for around 10 years and have been resident engineer at a commercial recording studio for the last 7 years. My usual vocal recording chain would be mic - pacifica mic pre - 1176 - focusrite red 2 eq - apogee rossetta A/D - Logic Audio - Amek desk - Genelec/PMC/NS10 monitoring

This is a cardiod condenser that in my experience works best on female vox and bass cabs. Its very detailed in the 2.5 to 5k area so can sound a little harsh or thin on things like sax or male vocals that have a lower resonant peak, for husky male voices or most female vocals it would be my first choice of mic.
