A number of studios still use dated tech over modern digital stuff because it records warmer sounds and modern onces are super sharp, to the point samples are so clean nd crisp it doesn't sound right.

Most Vocaloids are seen using the Shure SM58 or a design based on it when they hold mics, because this is just so common, this is a mic several decades old. Due to how recording work, retro mics are often used to get a particular effect, with some of the older crowd of musicians in particular not feeling comfortable and unless a good old SM58 is in front of them.

But each mic doesn't ness. record the same depth of sounds, so not all are breathy. My issue is you get background feed regardless of the recording and more is added during the construction process of certain samples, and then you have the synth adding yet more. So by the time a Vocaloid sounds out even its clearest organic sounding note, there is always a level of digital noise too far.
