Hi, I need to help with a buy of microphones. I have to decide between Audio technica AT4040 and AKG 300b or Shure KSM 27/SL or JM47. Can somebody help me?Which one is the best for vocals?Thanks

I´ll record mostly male lead vocals on reggae music. I use cubase sx and i´ll use dbx mini pre.

I can't say I have used any of those mics, but you can probably bump the AKG300b as you would typically want a large diaphragm condenser for a lead vocal. An AT4060 is a pretty common vocal mic, not so sure about the AT4040.
