DCRON.

yep that neumann is a goodie.

ive gone thru loads of nutty gear cycles....lol.
once into all big studio gear doing vocs in commercial studios.
then in my crazy rock phase and being a bit of a renegade...lol..
went for all low end mics. its all lotta fun.
as a result some songs in my sig used high end gear while others low end budget gear. im just odd that way....lol.
love the challenge ....most people cant tell the diff.
for example the stallion rock song in my sig used a oddball mic that i got yonks ago as did the blugrass banker man song.
but it just seems to work with my vocs sometimes.
other songs very high end mic.

same with geetars...tried loads of them.
i was kinda bonkers in my younger days...like a lot of musos....lol.

gearspace.com is a kinda interesting place.
they have a high end forum and a low end forum and many other forums.
great for gear shootouts low versus high end.


talking of the sm57...i knew there were competitors out there but i didnt know how many 57 style ones....pyle/behr/stagg/monoprice and a ton of others.
there are various comparisons/audio examples on you tube.
for those that dont have lots of moolah there are 57 competitors even under 25 bucks.

some higher priced 57 but affordeable competitors i hear mentioned often are audix i5,
heil,se electronics v7,senny and various others.
there are so many models its tuff to keep up.

frankly whats really interested me is more mics coming with desktop control software like the presonus revelator to ensure great tracks get recorded eg comp/lim/gate in software etc etc.
i think we are going to see more of this.....ie desktop mic control apps/dsp.
elgato wave is another interesting mic.
(see you tube again for sound samples etc.)
we are spoilt today.

toodles/happiness.
