Not disputing that’s a good mic used in lots of studios. Professional studios will generally have a bunch of different mics for different things, to get a different sound or just for personal preferences. Not everyone likes the same ones.
But I don’t think the OP is a professional, and it’s really not necessary to sing the praises of ridiculously high end gear. It’s perfectly possible get a very good recording with something decent and much much cheaper.
It’s more important to learn how than spending a tonne of money.
You were right to point out that something like the SM58 isn’t up to the task though, because it’s the wrong type of mic.
