Hi all,
My first post in the forum. Was looking for some advice. I am recording some acoustic singer/songwriter tracks in my home studio. My current setup is a Rode NT1 mic, into a Focusrite Scarlett interface, into Logic Pro X. I am using the Logic vocal and acoustic guitar channel presets for each track.
I am trying to get a much warmer, richer (perhaps vintage) sound. At the moment my tracks and recordings also lack depth and are a bit thin and one dimensional sounding.
I was thinking of upgrading my gear and was considering one of the following options:
1) Replace the Rode NT1 with a higher end mic e.g. a valve mic like the NTK or the SE Z5600a II.
2) Buy some sort of mic preamp e.g. Golden Age Project Pre 73.
3) Buy a mic reflection filter (at the moment I am recording in a tiny, acoustically untreated room full of papers and books).
4) Invest in some vintage style emulation plugins.
Can anyone offer advice on where I should start experimenting?
