actually i take that back i think something is wrong with this re20. it does sound good but somethings wrong with it.
'RE20 boring' LOL
Almost every mic I've tried can pretty much sound like ass right up on it if you want to get real about.
One way to do it like you mention is to just go with a mic with the tone you like and add the foam filter to tame the plosives noise.
RE20 is really one of the exceptions; it actually can do decent sounding recordable vocal track- right up on it, no extra filter needed.
Add directional and reasonably flat both on and off axis, tone that doesn't shift with distance and sounds pretty damn good to great on a lot of voices and about six other tasks..
That's actually quite a frickin unique combination set.
Very unlikely to be something wrong with the mic.
It's more likely the cable, or interference from something you're pointing the mic at.
Sounds great by the way.
Dude, what are you listening back on?
thats exactly what it is i just wiggled it and it stopped and started. ill try my other cable on it. which is much longer though god damnit wtfAt worst it might come down the XRL connector being a little less snug than you'd want.
If you make this buzz happen, then wiggle the xlr cable at the mic barrel, you should know straight away.
If that's what's wrong, it's a very easy fix.
Ok, so you're probably pickup up the lights or a power supply or something.
Some mics are more prone to it than others, but either way, I don't think I'd worry too much.
With regard to your overall journey, what are you referencing these mics on?
What speakers or headphones have you been using?
I just got to thinking that might be the root of the whole problem.
I thought your re20 clip sounded great, and I see the chaps at gearslutz liked the re320 when given the choice.
I said the problem was most likely your voice or your room, but of course, it could be your monitors.
They'll pry my 421n's out of my cold dead hands!
Not if I use and drop a piano from five stories up!
