mucis procedure
Setup 1
AKG Perception 820 Tube Condenser Mic -> Mic's own power supply -> Digidesign Mic Preamp (phantompower off) -> audio interface
Setup 2
MXL V67 Condenser -> Digidesign Mic Preamp (phantom power on) -> audio interface
-Setup 1 stated from the mic's manual that I dont need to turn on the phantom power on the preamp since tube mics has already its own power supply.
-both mics are cardioid
-vocal recording technique from each setup are the same, mouth distance from the mic are both the same.
-AKG 820 is way more expensive than my V67
-Setup 2 is a more typical recording chain
Problem
-My room is not treated very well so I will definitely get some room reflection during recording, but how come setup 1 picks up a lot of room reflection than setup 2?
Is there something wrong in setup 1 chain? Does that I mean tube mics needs tube preamp or not necessarily?
You can hear a lot of room reflection, wind hissing, PC fan noise, etc on setup 1, but setup 2 recordings are more quiet and solid.
Especially on acoustic guitar, you will get an airy sound on setup 1 than setup 2 even both placements are the same.
Please check attached mp3....
first performance is from setup 1, second performance is from setup 2
Thnx
