    Jaz, this sounds like a worthwhile endeavor to me.

    If you had to get just one mic....

    Agree with all choices above and would like to throw a used Shure Ksm44 in the pot.

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    And by the way, I'm sure I couldn't always tell the difference in a final mix. I know I spend too much time obsessing about things that have little or no impact on a final mix. I take comfort in the fact that I'm not alone though.

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    Why did you mix 20% 4033 with your sm7b? Did it add something the sm7 didn't have on it's own?

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    Are you REALLY saying it's hard to tell the difference between a condenser and a dynamic?

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    When you do treat your room , I would avoid foam products and go with broadband trapping. There is lots of information on this and other boards and you should read all you can before deciding. Lots of good info on the GIK and RealTraps sites are a good starting point. Frank here is a very good...

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    I think you just don't like the 3035. The condensers I disliked in my untreated space, I still disliked in a treated one. The ones I like in the treated space already worked for me in the untreated space. I treated for mixing much more than tracking. I still sometimes track with condensers in...

    Vocal mic for mostly untreated room

    An untreated room is undesireable. You know you need to treat your room. Since treating mine, all of my microphones please me a little more. That being said, the good and bad characteristics of my mics were apparent in my untreated space. I understand why people recommend dynamics to peaople in...

    It sounds like I'm singing through a telephone.

    Then are you sure you have no eq engaged in the software on playback?

    It sounds like I'm singing through a telephone.

    More gear isn't going to help at this point. Are the EQ settings flat on the vlz?

    It sounds like I'm singing through a telephone.

    And by the way, what is the vlz outputting to?
  12. Q

    It sounds like I'm singing through a telephone.

    How close are you to the mic? Where did you get the mic? Did the mic ever work for you? The last thing I would call an sm58 at close range is thin. The proximity effect of that mic is fairly large but you have to be right up on it. If you are eating that mic and it sounds thin then I would say...

    What's a good affordable condencer for recording acoustic guitar?

    A stupid question that shows my ignorance... what does "side address" mean? I know it means not straight ahead, but does it refer to either direction (neck or body) specifically--or just one of them? Sorry, but I've got to learn this stuff somewhere. Thanks. It just refers to the orientation...

    What's a good affordable condencer for recording acoustic guitar?

    Great suggestion! You could even have a pair for your $200. I like my mxl 604's for acoustic but I hear a lot of complaints from others about 603/604's so YMMV. The Shure Ksm27 sounds great on acoustic guitar and they are going at the $200 mark now. Some people rave about the Cad M179 for...

    Shure SM57 to Behringer Mic800 to Maudio Audiophile 192

    You would use the other if you were recording in stereo with 2 mics.

    Shure SM7 vs. Sennheiser MD421 for Vocals??

    I like my SM7 but find it to be overrated on the internet. It does a job and does it well on some voices but is not the end all dynamic vocal mic. I most times prefer a sennheiser md441 for my voice. Depends on the song though. Never used a 421 so I can't comment there.
