Re: mizsit

You reffered to the 4055. I thought that was the mic you were not liking.

You can also see if you can get a demo of Antares Mic Modeler and play with it's proximty effect.. It may surpise you.

Re: Re: oops

You're looking at the wrong thing... compression and outboard units won't "thicken" a thin-sounding source - you either change the source, or change the way you're recording the source.

For thickening a thin voice I would look at some flavour of cardioid mic (for example a C1 or a 4033) and take advantage of the proximity effect by moving in closer to the mic than you otherwise normally would.

You're misusing the word "color" in the context of gear applications. The fact that the RNC is a more transparent compressor than others will neither help nor hurt your issue of "voice thickening"....

Same thing with going for tube gear (or in this case, "faux-tube") -- tube gear alone is not going to thicken anything, it's all about understanding the basic problem and the right way to fix it.... in this case, your solution is recording technique and not so much outboard gear..........

I dunno. I think I deserved at least a citation or footnote...

Agreed... props to LD!

Some of what I said, he'd already mentioned......... I was repeating it only to drive the point home!
