    It would be hard to go wrong with either one, but this-according to AKG-"The C 414 XL II is the successor of the famous C 414 B-TL II. It shows the unique sonic signature of the highly sought after AKG C 12 which enables lead vocals and solo instruments to be placed even in a dense mix. The unrivalled up-front sound is also well-known for distant miking applications like classic music recording or drum ambience miking.

    The XL II version differs from the XLS version in one major respect - the capsule. Both, the slight presence boost and the impressive spatial reproduction is similar to the legendary C 12 microphones." http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,1129,tmpnodeid,2,_language,EN,pid,1129.html I have used them in the studio many times and they are one of my favorites for many applications, but not everyone's fave for vocals. I like Audition for live recording, for MIDI work and soft synths I like FL Studio and Reason.

    Gotta love this, Reaper at the bottom of the list. At least Reaper is on the list.

    Signed by a pro Reaper user.

    I'm not down rapping the other DAWs, Just glad Reaper is represented.
