OK. so here's my deal.
I had a USB
AT2020. sold it. miss it.
Love the mic.
LOVE the sound, for a few different applications, mostly vocal and horn players.
Loved it because of it's lack of a "presence boost" in the 2K to 5K range. it is flat on up there. I love that, and for my purposes, which include recording mellow vocals in light textures, and saxophones that are often too bright anyway - it sounds good to my ears, and lets things lay more naturally in a mix without me having to start dropping EQ's left and right to get things to behave and sit deep enough.
The XLR version AT2020 has a different curve and a different sound.
The USB records 16 bit. is that worth being concerned about?...
I truly love the USB version of this mic, and just want to know if I need to just let it go, abandon ship and move on...
and if so - where should I go?....
Wondering if there's ANY future in using this mic alongside tracking and mixing in Pro Tools MP.
