so i've been using the studio projects c1 for about 5 years or so, love it. have tried to replace it with a ksm27, blueberry, and groove tube gt66. and frankly i've since sold the blueberry (always needed extra eq with it), ksm27 was always boring for 99% of vox. and gt 66 was ok but never stuck out for me either. the c1 has always sounded great to me and stuck out in the mix. but i'm sick of hearing it on all my recordings... anyone else have that problem? its the same with my drum overheads. i've used the same AKG sd condensers for about 7 or 8 years now. and am too stubborn to change... haha, (i actually bought two of the ksm27s to use as ld drum overheads, but never liked them as ohs since i have a small room for tracking drums). anyone using any cool mics lately? looking for lots of mids, with some clear top end. it will be ran through my 512c, purple biz, or brick. so you know what preamps i'm working with. cheers.
