    $400 - $800 vocal recommendations (Looking to upgrade my vocal mic)

    I have been getting by with a 1st gen. Studio Projects C1. While not a bad mic, it definitely has it's weaknesses. I've always ended up making it work, but sometimes it takes more work to get me there. It tends to be on the brittle side when I'm not digging it.

    EQ Cheat Sheet and Iinteractive Frequency Chart

    :) no worries. Like I said earlier... I really don't care. Burn the chart, call it gospel, wine it, dine it.... I'm not forced to listen to the outcomes of its use.

    $400 - $800 vocal recommendations (Looking to upgrade my vocal mic)

    I use just my motu 828 mk3 pre's. I have a VTB-1 too, but that just collects dust. Although, now that I think about it...I also have an Apogee One that collects dust too.

    I've looked into it, but fear I may not have a worthy enough preamp to drive it.

    Nice over-reaction.

    EQ Cheat Sheet and Iinteractive Frequency Chart

    And this affects you how? The people lacking experience and knowledge need to gain ummmm, oh ya, experience and knowledge. Perhaps a visual aid makes them feel like they're not entirely in the dark. If they're going to be any good at it, they'll soon realize that even a good EQ chart (which...

    $400 - $800 vocal recommendations (Looking to upgrade my vocal mic)

    I'm looking to upgrade my studio's primary vocal mic and have started my list of mics to research/decide between. I don't NEED multipattern, as I would rather incorporate the $ into quality rather than spread it thin for this feature, however, I'm not opposed to a multi if it's the right mic...

    EQ Cheat Sheet and Iinteractive Frequency Chart

    I think the important thing to keep in mind is a chart is really no different than someone telling you to boost or cut a specific frequency without hearing your material. It may or may not work....your ear has to be the judge in the end. It does however, gives you a starting point, although it...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Well had a chance to listen to it in the car on my way to work, which was the first place outside the studio I heard my 2nd mix. I see I did go overboard on the highs, and I kinda knew while I was doing it. I went to the brink of "sizzly-splashy" on my studio monitors and brought it back a...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Well I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this information... Specifics could've validated your comments, but as is, your comments are pretty much useless to me at this point. Thanks anyway, I guess.

    Can I get a mix check on this one? - New Mix Posted Hi guys, I did a new mix tonight and I like it better. I think I've solved some, perhaps all of the issues, but I hope I didn't create any new ones. Let me know what you think! Thanks. Chasing Cinderella - Mix 2 Ryan

    Anyone try both Studio Projects CS5 and sE 2200 mkII multi?

    I'm trying to decide between these two. It will mainly be used as a vocal mic, but I'd like the ability to do other things as well which is why I'm after a multi pattern. Thoughts?

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Well, it's nice to know I'm not that far off with the first mix. In the past, I'd usually get in the ballpark similar to this songs current state, after 8-10 mixes. I'm gonna play with it a bit more and make some corrections tonight, then I'll post them for your ears again, if you'd all be...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Thanks Bonafide! I appreciate your suggestions. I havent' installed them yet, but I just received Sknote's Roundtone & Presence bundle, so maybe I should play with them on each track and see what comes of it. I haven't hyped much high end on any of the tracks other than a 1 - 2db boost at...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Thanks for the kind words, guys. I haven't recorded very many songs, but I try to get better with each one. It's a work in progress, but I'm getting there slowly. I'd love to be able to make a production that I'm sonically satisfied with, but that may nev happen....;) So I think you guys are...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I'm not sure why it has that sound, guitaristic. But I'd be willing to bet we're talking about the same thing with different descriptions. Any advice how I can fix it? I'll have to revisit the mix, but don't recall doing any drastic mid cuts. Nothing is on...

    Can I get a mix check on this one?

    76 views and no love.... Maybe if I'm a little more specific. I'm wondering if there is an overall mid freq. "hollowness" to the song, and how the drums sound. thanks.

    EQ Cheat Sheet and Iinteractive Frequency Chart

    Totally agree with Mo Facta about boosting, however, I feel the chart is not a bad place for beginners to start. It's not a whole lot different than using a somewhat vague recipe to learn to cook. Of course it's completely programme dependant, but so is all presets that come standard on every...
