This is probably the most discussed mic on this board, with the possible exception of the Studio Projects C1. Do a search.

I usually use SDCs on tom, but I find, more often than not, that I leave tom tracks out of the final mix anyway.

According to the DPA website, SDCs are less sensitive than LDCs: http://www.dpamicrophones.com/page.php?PID=28 I always understood that this decreased sensitivity is why SDCs have higher self noise: the signal from an SDC has to be amplified more than the signal from an LDC. I agree with the...

Actually, with point-to-point wiring, the sound you're hearing is the point, not the wire. :D

People fixate on the idea of tubes. The difference between tube anything and an equivalent solid-state item are fairly subtle, especially when you're talking about microphone preamps. The difference between a tube mic plugged into a nice solid-state pre and a tube mic plugged into a nice tube...

Shure SM7 Nady RSM2 AEA R84 (I assume, though I haven't used one)

I found that pop filter absolutely useless.

The D6 is perfect on every kick I've used but one, where I used an SM7.

I like the T3 way better than the NTK. The NTK is way to bright and spitty, IMO. The T3 tones that down while still retaining enough high-end sheen to serve most vocalists well. Plus, as others have mentioned, it is multi-pattern.

Tried that. They didn't go for it, but I got another dealer to sell for that.

I will pay $80 shipped for an Audix i5 in decent condition. Contact me at jeremy (atttt) cominginsecond (dawt) com if you're interested in selling.

N-track is like $50 and it works. Audacity is free. There are alternatives.

I'd call him.

Apparantly, this mic isn't out until March. I talked to Warren at Front End about it.

I've heard that it's excellent on acoustic guitar, and hit-or-miss on vocals. It either loves you or it don't. But I don't have first hand knowledge of it.

I've bought used many times. I probably would not buy a used ribbon, though, without a generous return policy.

This makes no sense. You would try it without and then see if there's no way you could get the mic to not clip. If you can't keep it from clipping, you use the pad. HOWEVER... There's no way in hell a normal guitar player would need a pad for acoustic guitar. The only thing I've ever used a pad...

The DMP3 is a great pre for the price. Cleaner than any other cheap pre I've used.

The v67 is not overly bright. It's overall reputation is actually of a dark mic.

I liked my v67 on acoustic, especially nylon string acoustic. I also liked it pretty well on cello and vocals and any number of sources. I think it's a good mic.
