SM 7 B : Perfect for screams, great for cleans
This microphone sounds absolutely stunning. I hear virtually no room reverberation even in an untreated room. The SM7B is definitely not as detailed as a large condenser, but that is beneficial for me. I have primarily tracked screams with it, to great results. Doing clean vocals is absolutely viable, but I'm personally not a great singer. I find that very little EQ and compression are necessary, the sound of the microphone is consistent (volume-wise).
One word of advice, some people demonstrate the microphone can be used without a pop filter. While this is possible, a pop filter will get you far closer to the desired results, without the help of VSTs.
