never see any postings for this mic.very sensitive mic having trouble with vocals.can't seem to get it to dialed in.even with a low amount of gain it distorts way to easily for male blues type vocals.It sounds killer on cymbals though.all i'm doing is running the mic thru 1 channel on the ghost with no compression.

blown headphones?

I figured out my distortion problem.I was using pioneer headphones that are either blown or the wrong spec's .the output being extremely loud should of been a dead giveaway, but once again because of my inexperience I jumped to conculsions that either the mic or the ghost were shot.for some reason the headphones sound fine on everything but the ghost, so I thought they were fine just real loud.the ghost headphone output is spec'd at +14dbu at max.what headphones should i be using for tracking and mixing?

senns 280's are great for tracking- for mising you should get a good set of monitors 8)

I am having good results with the AT 4033 I just bought, here is a song of me singing into it.

Signal Chain:

Voice -> AT4033 -> Mackie 808s Mixer -> Tape output to computer (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card) -> Mackie Traction software to record.

No EQ, just a bit of reverb on guitar and vocals. Guitar pickup is plugged directly into the Mackie 808s input.

Hope that helps as a reference.
