we don't need rest!!
why are they still being bought and sold? Granted, the price has dropped, but the package with the 603 seems to be going strong.
Ok...tell me the obvious

For the same reason that the AKG C3000 and C1000 still sell well; "bright" = "detailed", to the untrained ear, at least, at first. After you've lived with those kinds of mics for a while, you start to hear the problems.mixmkr said:why are they still being bought and sold?

I've said this dozen of times over the years; "Mic placement is often more important than mic selection."mixmkr said:I find that sticking what is usually supposed to be the "right" mic, and finding a good sweet spot usually works 90% of the time. I don't audition mics that much, unless I am having trouble with vocals or something like that. Maybe I make lucky guesses??...or my mixes really do stink![]()
Innovation is correct - They aren't that crappy, at least the one I had wasn't. I would have keep it, but I needed some money, so I sold it. I might get another one sometime. I was really surprised - not bad at all.Innovations said:They aren't that crappy, there are just others that people like better.
Hey Harvey...If Bdgr's coffeehouse ever opens, and you're able to make it out to a show, I'm bringing my C3000 to trade straight up with any condenser mic you might have rolling around in the back of your truck.Harvey Gerst said:For the same reason that the AKG C3000 and C1000 still sell well; "bright" = "detailed", to the untrained ear, at least, at first.
