There are about 40 recordings on the 4 pages. Of those, Whitney Myer, Dawn Frinta and the McMains Bros. all have vocals recorded with SM58's, while Alice Austin and Trevor Green were on a Sennheiser 421. All the others were done with a big ol' tube/transformer LDC, but I don't think the dynamic recordings are all that much worse. See what you think. |
Well to clarify I was speaking in general terms and there are always exceptions and about the AGF where most of us are not pros.
"All that much worse" well if ya put it that way then no not "all that much worse" But that may be as much a reflection of your recording and mix skills, as a general statement of mic performance. Even so right off the bat even on Apple earbuds on my Macbook Air once I level matched Hayrold Payne and Whitney Meyer .I thought there was a bit more presence, and flatter response in Harolds vocal performance. Maybe it's expectation bias but maybe not
Any way outstanding job regardless
