Thats all correct.dharmawan wrote: re:microphone modeling. you can model the EQ curves but there are loads more to how a microphone sounds.
1. the technique used - dynamic, condenser, ribbon.
2. transformerless or with transformer
3. pattern used
4. impedance loading between the mic and the pre
5. capsule shape and size
6. grill
etc
these change the sound a LOT beyond mere average frequency response. basically i would say forget about it
But it looks promissing tho...
neumann tlm103
neumann u47
shure 58beta
Are done already.
Would you like to try the VST in a few days maybe ?
But only for PC...

Now you decide if I record mostly indoors or outdoors
In my dreams ; yes.
In reality ; no

when i get the chance i prefer the AT4040 and the Oktava MK-012.
i dont own them though so i'm shit out of luck. i have the shure sm58, and a pair of sound professionals TB-2 in-ear binaurals. they are great.
i'm wondering how the 100 dollar Kel microphone is doing?

the dude who designed the mics for BLUE was screwed by the company and has now started his own line...check it outomo wrote:I've got U47 which is great, one Lomo 19a19 which is even greater at times. Loking for a good ribbon. I've tried all BLUE mics some not so distant time ago and I have to say that collection is a wonderfull palette of colours.

Always the Marshall MXL603s. Might be too sensitive, they pick up *everything*. Use them on guitar, piano, flute, and voice. I have other mics, but these are the best so far.Midiworks wrote:What microphones do you use/own for recording ?
Please name and list them here.
Might be interesting !![]()
I use:
Audio Technica 4047sv
Neuman KM84 (not much tho)
