Actually, I swore to myself I would't post here ever again, but some of the stuff I've seen recently was driving me crazy. It's sad to see how much misinformation is floating around. It seems like spec sheets, specials, reviews, and advertising are becoming the sole reasons for microphone purchases.Blue Bear Sound said:...nice to see ya here Harvey!

That would have been a shame (not posting anymore), 'cos the best way to stem the misinformation is for the pros to provide solid, helpful and accurate info to the new kids on the block!Harvey Gerst said:Actually, I swore to myself I would't post here ever again, but some of the stuff I've seen recently was driving me crazy.
Ahhh, but on r.a.p., we have Fletcher and a few other pros who quickly and efficiently put an end to people slagging more knowledgable people.Blue Bear Sound said:
Actually, this place is nowhere near as bad as some of the grade-A morons one can encounter on R.A.P.!

I've talked with Ed and you're right, he's great.yeah, I know - I love it when Fletcher does that!
Here we have Ed Rei (sonusman)... not quite as cutting as Fletcher, but pretty close... and he knows his sh*t cold too!

Actually, I'm between Krum and Boliver. What a strange place for an L.A. engineer to end up in.Keith_H said:

I don't know who Steve Lamansky is. My friend Al Schmitt says"I use a windscreen and I put it an inch or two from the mic. I try to keep the vocalist about 6 inches from the windscreen. So the vocalist is anywhere from 7 to 10 inches from the microphone. That’s usually a good place to start depending on the kind of sound you’re looking for. Sometimes, if the vocalist is trying to get a breathier quality I’ll move the mic up closer."Mantis said:The mic pick-up pattern has nothing to do with it. The mic has to be up close, no further than 3.5 inches away. It's a standard in this industry. I asked Steve Lamansky, who is like the guru of microphones, and he even agrees with me on this.
Bruce, I answered in that thread, rather than crosspost here. Hope it helps.Blue Bear Sound said:..since you're on-line - can I pick your brain for a sec?
