I think you named the biggest problem—you didn’t record the vocals in the first place. The obvious: Unless these tracks are being sent remotely, why not get the vocalist in and record them yourself? Of all the suggestions, and there were some good ones, I like the slice and dice of the...

Yeah, you’re right. He probably has a better chance of hooking up with Giles Martin. :D ?

I guess you haven’t seen, Get Back, by Peter Jackson or any of his other work. AI is making the formerly impossible, possible. Never say never. ?

Because you’re in a temporary residence, which you don’t own, opting to mix with professional monitoring or reference headphones is your best option, IMO. While not ideal, it’s a consistent listening environment where you can mix songs, with the aid of proper headphones and headphone calibration...

Sorry for the late response. Sudden medical issues have had me down. PROBLEM: As for the P420, I ran into a problem right away—not with the mic, but with the Phantom power in my setup. I had all my USB devices, including a 2-channel USB powered audio interface, plugged into a 4-port powered hub...

AKG lists the P420 as an instrument mic, but I think it sounds good on vocals. See my reply to the post after yours where I share more details.

Oh my, Rob. That’s terrible. So sorry for your loss. Bear with me as I wait a week for my next check and order another mic stand. Thanks for the nudge. I need another mic stand now, anyway.

Sure, Rob, I‘d be happy to make a comparison recording. I’ll post it in this thread in a reply to you for all in this thread to check out. Give me a few days. I’m retired but I have my hands full caring for my COVID Long Haul lady and her dog. She was already handicapped before she caught...

I can definitely recommend the AKG P420 to you, Rich. The only caveat is the power source. When I first plugged the P420 in it had no proximity and it just sounded weak. Knowing it needed 48V phantom power, I immediately turned my attention to the power source of my USB powered audio...

I bought an AKG P420 at a great sale price and a Shure Popper Stopper to go with it. They’re both working well for me. At 1/5th the cost of a Neumann TLM102, it was too good a deal to pass up.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the warm welcome. John

Quick introduction. A Duck Duck Go search result brought me to this site today. Looks like a good site with a lot of activity and varied knowledge/experience. I’ve been primarily a weekend warrior musician all my life, with a few tours but mostly local gigs. I’m retired, so point me to the...

Ignore. I replied to an old thread and I don’t know how to delete my reply yet. Oops

I purchased 2 replacement EV mic clips years ago and have that old (discontinued EV N/D 767a) on a boom over my piano for vocals. I’m gonna take your suggestion and keep looking at LCDs with larger capsules than the Shure SM27. Thanks!

Thanks for your comments, Rob. You’ve hit on my thinking when considering this mic. The SM27’s flat frequency response makes it a jack-of-all-situations, master-of-none, for sure. That point is how I can justify the expense, since it could also mic my Martin acoustic and a small combo amp and...

Anyone have experience with the Shure SM27, particularly using it with a male baritone vocal range? Your feedback appreciated. Thanks!
