I have a rode nt1a, but I feel like I am a very aggressive rapper, and it sounds like it's not useful in that context. I want to keep it around for softer stuff that needs brightness.
So I'm looking into the SM7B, as it sounds like it's a lot warmer and allows me to be much more "out there."
But I hear you need 55 db gain on your interface MINIMUM. I'm not sure which stats I check for that.
I use a vstudio-100 (which I'm considering replacing). I found the specs here.
Roland VS-100 (VS100, V-Studio 100) Audio Interface w/ SONAR VS
It says the microphone jacks go -60 to -16 dbu. Does that mean I only have a 44 db gain?
I'm not at all attached to the SM7B, so if I need a different mic that's fine. But can anyone recommend a different one? This is an example of some audio recorded about 6 inches from the mic, directly in (no angle or difference in height) and with a pop filter.

From what I hear, mic placement like height and angling down will make my vocals really nasaly, and I'm actually not really sure what people mean by that. I would test it if I had a proper mic stand right now, but it's literally hanging through the hole upside down.
