Wall of microphones

I guess you did this for the purpose of comparing the sounds with eachother? If you tried to layer those mic signals, the phase would be a nightmare because none of the capsules are coincident.

@BeatsByWeight yes thats true.. this was a shoot-off between mics.. you can see on other comments what i thought about each one..

[BeatsByWeight]

@nick5105 I was just being a smartass .. .but really I'm just jealous

[nick5105]

@BeatsByWeight haha fair enough..

ok well i've made the final consensus. It was difficult because these are all phenomenal sounding microphones.. And the judgment was made using my voice through each one. Everyone will have different resutls..

1st: U87 - Sounded most smooth or silky, easy on the ears

2nd: TLM127 - Also pretty smooth

3rd: Gemini - very nice sound, just liked the others a little more

4th: Bluebird - very clear, pronounced high end, noticed sibilance more though

5th: Blue Blottle - my voice was too mid-rangy

haha geez, i havent opened that PT project in forever lol.. but yeah Blue, thats def a good idea.. i spoiled it tho by paying attention to what was what before hand.. I think i may open that beast back up and do a comparison..

Well how did it sound? :) the most mics I've use on a single vocalist was 3 I only used 2 in the end... Ya know it's a great think to do though... line up all the mics patch them in not paying too much attention to which mic is which and listen to each one separately, that way you just choose the one or two mics you think sounds best for that vocalist with out being complacent with the mic itself ; )
