How to get brilliant sound when home-recording audio?

I have:
- 2 Shure SM58 mics
- Cubase software + plugins
- Mixer
- Fast track pro audio interface

I’d like to get an actual signal chain example to get sound as brilliant as possible. I’d like to know which compression, equalization, filtering, etc. I’d use in order to get nice, powerful, solid, noise-less, recordings.

Thanks!

  1. trade in one of the SM58’s for a condenser like the RODE NT1a.
    I think recording should be done with condensers unless its a snare or guitar cab even then I would use a SM57.
    also I would record flat eq, compress only to limit b4 peaking.

  2. Use a BBE sonic maximizer at the instrument end of which ever chain you end up using to obtain the best sound quality and reduce the noise un like a noise gate it will not allow noise in and then snap shut leaving a void in the mix. Of course s*it in will be s*it out so try to be as precise as possible the BBE will accentuate the full range Highs, Mids and Lows is tweakable to suit you but will not mask sloppy technique.
