we don't need rest!!
ok...so we are dealing with apples and oranges here. But I did a session and grabbed my favorite re20, but decided to stick the singers personal at4033 along side and ran it to a different track. The 4033 sounded VERY different. I was shocked. Thin, but clear...but like a cheapie mic. I admit I lean towards the dynamic sound on a vocal mic...even a 57, but the difference was like grabbing an EQ knob and going ballistic. So, you say, hey..that's the diff between a condensor and a dynamic (but no proximity on THIS dynamic)
The 4033 had to be broken, eh? I mean I am not an expert on a 4033 by any means...nor probably a mic expert on anything!!...ha! But I thought the 4033 really sucked. More to the point, I couldn't believe the amount of difference between the two mics.
btw, I tried that setup on 4 different singers that night...3 males and one female vocal. I ended up using the re20 (without even having to think about which sounded better) and believe it or not, a MXL990 on one of the guys... a cheapie condensor!! ha, again!!!
The difference among MY mics aren't nearly as big as the diffence between these two mics. It was like a Strat and a Les Paul.
Was the intoxicant REALLY that good? I just had to post this and see if this has ever happened to THIS degree to anyone else.
