Using a sound level meter for audio recording

Submitted by anonymous on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 09:50

Hello

what do you think about using a Bruel & Kjaer Sound Level Meter (2238 Mediator) for audio recording?
I'm thinking to use unweight (linear) analog output direct to Logic Pro.
The B&K mic is almost perfectly flat and of course has a really great preamp.

What do you think? is this a good option vs an AKG 414 for example?

Thank you.

This really depends upon what you are recording.

Assuming you are working with the human voice, the aim of recording is to have the recorded sound sounding as identical to the sound of being next to the singer in the room. This is an art rather than a science. The one golden rule when choosing a mic:

IF IT SOUNDS GOOD, IT IS GOOD!
