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...

This post contains bits and pieces of information. Here’s the finished puzzle as explained in a SoundOnSound article: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/understanding-impedance

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!
