I'm looking to get one or two ribbons (a new venture for this condenser addict) mainly for use as vocal or instrumental spots in classical work; just maybe as choral pickups when dealing with brass in the back row of an orch, or JUUUST MAAAAAYBE as a Blumlein pr. I'd be interested in any aneCDotes/experiences/recommendations retaled to these two mics in these applications.

Cheers!

Has anyone compared either? I might be able to borrow my friend's 01V for some sessions, but I'm not sure if it's even worth trying. I've heard the pres are thin sounding, but I can't imagine them being worse than the firepod's pres. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Ill be using one of these with a PreSonus Bluetube Preamp for hip hop r & b and rock vocals for now..I'll upgrade when i make some more money but till then i'll have to chose something between $100 and $150.00.

Thanks

I've been out of the narration business for 15+ years...fell into a wormhole and am back in.

I would like to get a list of the best microphones for two different applications:

* a narrator's booth
* a quality music studio

AT4033 compared to ADK Hamburg/Vienna

Just curious how they compare?

After some research, 4033 seems to be the 57 of condenser mics.

while were at it can we discuss the sp b1 compared to the 4033 and the adks mentioned.

Hey Fellow Audio Geeks!

Thought some of you may be interested in the comparison of Apogees' new Ensemble to the Rosetta.

I A/B's the two with the same track using Digital Performer sending the two tracks one to the Ensemble and one to the Rosetta. I used Mutt Langs' mix of his wife's song 'She's Not Just a Pretty Face'.

I own an MS pair of Sennheisers MKH40 Mid and MKH30 which I use occasionally for recording small choirs and ensembles and also recording foley.

I have a chance to pick up a Schoeps MS (cardiod centre) pair as well and was wondering whether anyone who has been lucky enough to use and compare both could comment on whether the sound is noticeably different?

How does the Spectral PC compare to a MAC?

Hi

I'd like some advice...

I'd like to get a good quality pre-amp and DI, which i will use mainly as a DI but i'd also like a good pre-amp for occasions when I do mic recordings. Currently I have a Joemeek VC6Q which is OK but i'd like stereo and a good valve unit also. I'll be using it a lot for recording synths and processing samples.
