Right now I currently do not monitor, it's more when listening back to what was recorded in post process. I have about 40 mins of audio recorded with the RE20, there are constant points where it's a very harsh/cold sound like a clipping throughout. This happened on my other mic too, but I do not...
Yes the signal is distorted and cold, what I've said from the very beginning. So far I have recieved a host of different responses from different memebers.
That your dynamic mic won't sound good paired with my pre, that your room acoustics are to blame, that you have to work on your radio...
I really do feel it's the preamp the more I play with it and not the microphone. The reviews I read on Scarlett Pres being notorious for driver distortion rings true with me. It sounds like I'm running it through a dial up connection, very pixelated at times and so much latency.
If you look at...
Okay you know what it is, the RE20 is a dynamic microphone not a condensor. This problem had everything to do with my recording technique, and the problem with the 2i2.
Consumer preamps do not provide enough juice for dynamic microphones since they are not phantom powered. If I turn up my...
Perhaps my voice would benefit from using a tube preamp, I know the reviewer was using a Zoom H5. Not sure if the Zoom H5 sounds any warmer from Scarlett Solo. Whenever my voice is recorded, it sounds dramatically thinner from what people tell me it sounds like when I've shown them comparisons.
My upload sample is the second video above, and honestly doesn't sound bad but nothing compared to the top video.
That would be a goal to get out of this mic, I know it can sound that good. Based on the manual, looks to be 15 years old.
Just getting no bass responce out of it, extremely flat...
Great write up!
You mention the Scarlett may have a difficult time powering these mics properly to begin with? Any interface out there under the $200 range you feel would work better?
Hello HR forum,
Just purchased a used RE-20 on eBay, but for some reason has little to no bass response.
I'm running it into a Scarlett Solo, and adding EQ does not help. Just sold an SM7B that was giving me much more bass.
I came across a good review from Booth Junkies YouTube channel, where...
Headphones too it's bizzare. Can go from a really nice set to $10 earbuds. They will sound terrible at first but then your ears quickly adjust, until you switch back and realize what you've been missing. Funny how that works.
