Dunno...I'd tend to use my ECM8000s for miking farts. They'll not only capture the full, fruity resonance due to their great linear frequency range, but, being omnis they'll also get a fair dose of the room sound, which is of utmost importance wheer the overall timbre of one's flatulence is concerned. Close-miked farts sound so dry, don't you think?
I've noticed that lately there's a trend towards 'lo-fi' production of farts. You know, like on a lot of punk records. I think it's a refreshing change from the overproduced Mutt Lange farts of the '80s.
Sorry Zeke, I can't answer your question. But at least you got a lot of fart jokes.
One thing I know for sure, is you need to a compressor to the chain. Don't place it prior to the output though or you may have some problems with Pops. Also never add flange to a fart. And remember they shouldn't have lumps.
Many a fine RCA or Neumann have been ruined by trying to get that vintage "dropped drawers" tone only to discover that there were a few unwanted, uh, "artifacts" in the signal chain
a joe meek compresser is real good for farts, it seems to make the fart "jump out at you" in the mix. Its a colored sound ...(thats not a racial slur).....and it works particularly well with aggressive farts.
