Adjusting The Mic's Response Without EQ

Most microphones are not flat, and the mic's frequency response will change, depending on where the sound is coming from. Maximum highs will usually come from playing straight into the mic. This is very true for cardioids, and even for most omnis.

hi everybody ! (i hope my english is understandable ! :p )
for now i am running my synths' outputs (waldorf microwave II, Korg prophecy, roland mks-50 and kurzweil micropiano) through a Mackie 1402 mixer to record them in Pro Tools (888/24 as a/d).
in order to improve the overall quality of my sound, i am looking for a new way to get my synths' sounds.

hello all!

just discovered this amazing site through the usergroups at the "nuendo"site-congratulations, i think and hope that this will proceed as sucessfully as it did during the few months since it's up and running!

Been playin w/my little Martin D-1 trying to get that GREAT guitar sound (to record into a gtr/vox mix).
Been playin with Sure SM81's, 414's, Oktava 012's. Tryin a few different pre/Eq's, and then into Distressors. (also have an AKG SolidTube, Blueberry, and a Lawson L47MP on the way)

I'm looking at purchasing a mic solely for vocals. I've had some experience with U89s, U87s, TLM140, Geffals etc. recording in other studios (with great results), but as I am buying this for my own studio I want to make sure I purchase something amazing (as I'll probably only start with 1 mic). After a bit of research the options I have so far are M129, Manley Reference and Brauner VM1.

just bought a Pro Tools rig, love it!

What is the best mic cable now, right now I'm using standard mic cable. Does more expensive cable sound better?
