gottchya...I used to use them all the time when they were my only mics, but don't use them much now. My Studio Projects (b1 and C1) have been my recent favorites, but I was just wondering where I'd use them now. I'm currently only mic'ing guitars and vocals with these...and a few small percussion parts. I've just got a little drum machine and bass which runs directly in.
They seemed to distort fairly easily, which kind of bummed me out...especially on vocals. It also seemed like they'd kind of "limit" (as in compress) themselves a bit and then distort. does that sound right? can a mic limit itself?
