Well, you are the OP. I called you on using marketing speak. I didn't "fall for the marketing", I called you on it. You copped to it.
"What appears to be a dismissive tone." Because I don't agree with you?
About 30 years ago, in the studio, to my surprise, I was able to EQ and compress an RE27ND to sound pretty much like a U 87i in one specific application, VO, with one specific voice and one specific piece of copy.
I think modelers, in general, are hype. Further, I think any mic that uses "47" as a way of intimating that the mic sounds anything like a Neumann U 47 (last manufactured in 1965, according to Coutant.) is also hype. Which U 47? A new one? One that's been carefully taken care of for many years? One that hasn't? Somewhere in between with aging caps and a slightly saggy diaphragm?
You like to make your mic sound different by putting some circuitry in from of it, fine, but let's not kid ourselves.
Best Regards,
Ty Ford
