Just starting using a pair of RODE NT5's with directional capsules to record the guzheng. After some experimenting with positions, I've settled on both overhead, one on each side, about 3ft from the instrument. I've added no effects to this recording other than a compressor. What do you think?
Whatever your opinion on these, it's always useful to be able to recognise them and know what they're really like.
I always but them, when I spot them to have a look. Some new ones - with rather odd performance this time.
Decide for yourselves, and beware on Ebay - I sense these are the new SM57 and 58 flood the market types.
It might be of interest that the Chinese are now building empty boxes and complete speakers to the old BBC design. No idea what they're like - but have a look own Aliexpress. Crossovers and the boxes look pretty nice, but they're not cheap, but for anyone unable to make nice looking boxes, they could be worth a look - especially if you like tweaking.
Here's one i would like to know more about.
it's been said there is one primary manufacturer in China making mics that are badged for various audio companies. can someone tell me who that company is, where the plant is, which mics they manufacture and which companies sell their mics?
Day after Christmas and everything from Santa was made in China. Man, are we sure we know what we are doing and feeding into? I don't think its hitting the gray matter and its a worry.
I'm taking a stand and banning as much as I possibly can from this day forward. Its our demise if we don't get our business and buying habits in order. Its worse than ever.
I've searched up and down this site, I've Googled, I've hit Youtube. So far the only vocal sample I could find was a female vocalist using a FatHead II, which was posted on this site.
Anybody have any source of samples/demo tracks/etc with these mics?
