Subject: [realmusicians] Re: Urgent please,Buying pencile microphone to
record instruments
I can get a good sound from my sm81s
but I like what the big mic does to the low end better, it is a big sound,
but I can shave it off and work with it.
but there's something nice the cad does over-all that I like better, the
imaging of the sound is better, I know you don't have imaging as such with
only one mic, but the bitg mic just seems to capture more of the guitar.
How ever like you said, experimentation and different sounds for different
situations, I have to do a little more eq work with the sm81s on acoustic
guitar.
