For this microphone, you need very good tools and software, and a very good ear. It's very sensitive; without a soundproof room, the sound won't come out well. So before you buy it, think about the fact that you need very good tools. It's picky. If you think you can't meet what I've said above, try another option. Basically, it's really cool. I have it on the e-mu 0404 USB and preamp tb101, and it's pretty okay. I work without monitors, and it's tough. Very good for those who use their voice a lot; it has a very good dynamic effect. That's about it.
