RE: Calling all vocal experts
yep, i reckon this whole music/recording/living thing is still an art, not a science, as most of us practice it. my mics go through three pieces before they hit my pc, and my gear switches duties, so the settings on my pre, mixer, and comp are generally different. some days people are louder than they are on other days. take your best guess on the space, use what is available to you.. hopefully i'm getting better at dialing up what i want. my most valuable asset is my ability to develop and enact a methodology..
for what it's worth, web rumours and all, the oktava mk012 i bought for $99 is way crisper and brighter than my old realistic mic and just sounds different than my rode nt1. probably put a few hours through it and i'm still in the dark about an eq bias on it. recorded sounds sound like recorded sounds.. ?? done everythnig i wanted os far.
plus it's got a nice techno satiny finish, and all my amateur vocalists are all impressed with how it looks and try hard :p
