How has modern technology, manufacturing techniques, computers, competition, cheap labor in third world countries effected the price/performance cureve on microphones. I recently read an article by a well known rtecordist who offered that there is no reason anymore to use the high priced microphones or yesteryear.
We have seen the explosion of affordable large condenser mic's along with the digital/DAW "home" recording revolution. the nature of the reocrding business has changed, the nature of the music business has changed and the nature of the equipement has changed.
The ultimate question, does one really need to spend more than $1,000.00 on a mic t get "the" or a "modern" vocal sound.
The indicators and signals say no. What do you say and why?
