yo, i'm looking to rent a vocal mic to be used on a singer with a thick, deep voice. we're recording power pop, where a thinner voice is more of an asset. i am wondering if there is a good mic out there that has this natural characteristic. i'm looking specifically for comparisons of, say, TLM-103 to AKG C414 to NT-1, etc., you get the idea. does anyone know how these mics stack up against each other, as far as 'warmth' is concerned? the store is run by cranky alcoholics who will likely not let us audition various mics, so i need advice.
in the past, we've had good results with an AT C4000 (correct me if i'm wrong here). you know, the thin blue one. it did a good job thinning out his voice, but it was a little too 'present' and sibilant-y for my tastes. time for something better.
suggestions?
