    New Microphone

    It doesn't take much to upgrade from that It does what?? A C1 with warmth?? you must have the rarest mic on earth. The C1 is a harsh nasty thing and I don't know anyone who would call it "warm" You need to learn how to use a de-esser or side chain a compressor and set your mic up right in the...

    Blue Baby Bottle

    The B1 on most females sounds like trash, so does the C1. They both bring our every strident and harsh upper register tone in a female's voice - I don't know about the newer Studio Projects line since the ones I have are older. The Baby Bot with a Robbie is pretty darn good on most females but...

    mic comparisson

    Dude that's your first mistake, That is absolutely the most wrong way to compare those 2 mics. You have to work proximity according to the individual mic, some mics are great at 3 inches others at 12 inches and some mics have a hotter output but not always a better sound.

    What do you think of the SP C1

    the high end is terrible, absolutely terrible. I use it when I run out of other mics. If you use it on 1 maybe 2 tracks it's usable, if you use it on several tracks the end result gets really bad. I'd get a better mic if I were you

    Microphone Emulations Software

    Roland has an effects card for VS units that has mic modeling and they used to have preamp that had it,MMP2 I think it was called. Basicallly the models were geared towards you recording with an AKG C3000B and then change a setting an you have a u87. It goes from unimpressive to just plain awful

    Why are mics so expensive?

    mics are expensive to separate the "haves" from the "have nots" Pros buy the spendy stuff that creates predictable and reliable results, Results you can count on to work. Some of the cheaper stuff might fit that scenario but not much. I've got both cheap stuff and expensive stuff, the expensive...
