    Most natural sounding mic?

    hey all, so ive used several different large diaphragm condensers into several interfaces and with all of them I feel like it colours/warms my voice too much, I want it to sound more like I actually sound if that makes sense? ive tried eq'ing but I don't find that really changes the actual sound...

    Are dynamics better for singing over an instrumental ?

    just saw a yt vid from recordingrevolution.com and he said he thinks dynamics are better for getting a vocal recording to sit in a dense mix, now most if not all instrumentals have been mixed/mastered to within an inch of their lives and are very dense, so does that mean dynamics would give a...

    Mic with a boost at around 500hz?

    Title says it all really, just wondering if anyone knows of any mics with a frequency response curve that has a bit of a boost around 500hz (400-600) most condensers have boost at high end and seen bass mics with boost at low end (150hz and lower) is there any with 500hz boost? doesn't matter...

    Best mic type for my voice ?

    yeh I get what you mean just not sure whether complimenting a tenor-ish voice with a bright mic or countering it with a beefy low end mic is better, like do I extenuate the good aspects or make up for the weaker aspects

    Best mic type for my voice ?

    zero latency monitoring with effects ?

    most helpful response yet my good man, I'm an idiot and you explained it so even I could understand, so the zero latency headphone plug on most usb mics do it by sending to your headphones before pc, therefor not applying effects, in that case ill probably not go with the usb mic as I have no...

    zero latency monitoring with effects ?

    Thanks for the reply, I'm looking to buy a microphone and saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrdvROfxAKI where he shows the delay of 1 audio interface and then their interface, but I wasn't really looking into serious stuff like interfaces and that, I just wanted a little usb mic...

    zero latency monitoring with effects ?

    Hi, if I have headphones plugged into the monitoring port on a usb mic (blue yeti, snowball etc) do I still get zero latency if I'm recording with effects on ? or does effects add latency to the monitoring ? thanks

    Mic with built in reverb setting ?

    Hi, I'm looking to get a mic to record some singing at home but I'm super lazy and don't want to learn how to edit my recordings in post, I saw a video on youtube of the rode nta1 and the guy showed its "taste sensitivity" feature which was 1 roboty voice setting and 1 reverb setting. is there...
