GH.

great comments.

1..re cheap versus expensive mics ive done vocs at home on el cheapo
and then gone into big studio useing expensive mic and the same 'vibe'
just wasnt there.
to be fair...vice versa...ive done vocs in a big studio and just
couldnt duplicate next day.
sometimes ya just get that magic track thats difficult to duplicate.
which prolly explains why some groups with great hits cant get the same
groovy sound picture live.
a couple of songs in my sig i know would be very difficult to redo
in a big studio or high end studio.
conversely a couple of my sig songs used expensive high end voc mics.
sometimes ya just get those magic days where everything works.

2..re usb mics. i agree. but it seems things are now changeing for
the better. lots of new usb mics focusing on zero or very low latency
and with some pretty groovy user controlled dsp desktop apps.
heres another i wasnt aware of..
BEACN usb mic. (they also have an interface.)
with real time noise suppression built in and other groovy features in software.
this is a very interesting vid showing all the neat user dsp features.



(many other vids re beacn useage on you tube.)

ymmv as usual.

in summary GH it looks like there are pretty amazeing things happening
with usb mics. of course if i got one from amazon i would test at home.
so i can see first hand what it will do and if i dont like it...
return it within 30 days. its the application of dsp to these usb
mics i find interesting.

check out also the shure mv7+ sometime.
(note all the dsp fx again and denoiser and plosive handling.)
(also note comments re shures own sm7b.)


tech is moving so fast its difficult to keep up...lol.
happiness.
