Right... I have some backing tracks that I need to record vocals on
using Audition. At the moment I have an el-cheapo cardioid mic from
Maplin (kind of like a poor man's SM58) that I've had since I was about
15. It works to a point but I need something a bit better.

So without breaking the bank, any recommendations? (Yes, I have an
offboard mic pre-amp, I'm not using the noise-ridden AC97 input!)

If it's affordable I'd like to get a pair of them, not for stereo use,
I've got a singing partner and would rather like to be able to record
both parts at once rather than using an overdub. You get a better
interaction if you're both at the mic at the same time.

Yes, I know you can just both sing into the same mic... but the other
vocal part is a female voice so will probably need different EQ. She's
also not as loud as me so... two tracks would be better!

Was considering a pair of SM58s but I believe these are designed with
ruggedness first and sound quality second with live stage use in mind.
So any suggestions?

It's for recording a demo, not a full blown studio, so don't want to
spend loads on it!
