are there any addition specifications, cos a lot of the description was opinion rather than cold hard facts about the mics capabilities

I would say no. And Then I would say no again. Depends on the budget, but if you have money to spend don't waste it on this if you're looking for a decent sounding project.

that looks like a ribbon mic, I really wouldn't prefer that for deeper vocals, good for highs bad for lows. ribbon's are what mariah carey uses. but word it is a nice mic though.

I mean, a usb mic will die on you, and you'll have to replace the whole mic, if you get a mic and the cord dies you can go replace the cord and vice versa, so it is more cost effective and it sounds better.

How important is the project going to be? If it's not important just go with the usb, but if you're serious invest.


BTW I'm in college for audio production, so yeah.

yeah USB mics in general have a limit to how good they could possibly sound, because they are getting no power from a pre... but if you don't really care about sounding perfect and you learn how to mix you can make it work.
