a good mic pls

There's this saying: "there are people who have a problem to every solution".
It just came to my mind.
Really don't know why.

Maybe because in this specific case, this saying is extremely valid.

 

[pmfalcman]

You are an artist
Do you write scripts for dramatic films?

Thank you
No one was brave enough to ask me to...

... In slow motion

...and the image is black and white.

test in real conditions the perfect sound for you. After you have determined the right capacitor, solder it definitively into the microphone

Couldn't you also use EQ and determine how much high frequency cut was desired, and just put in one capacitor that corresponded to the level you determined was optimal? Seems that would be easier. But then I suppose you could just leave the plugin inserted in your DAW channel and save the trouble of soldering at all. I probably wouldn't do that, because it isn't as fun, but seems like an option.

It seems that there is not much experience in recording, editing, processing, mixing, mastering audio material either.
Quite a lot of unknowns for an equation as complex as audio production.

Hmmm... Once again, I recall the time worn query: Is it the engine or the engineer?

Perhaps a case of G I G O ?

When all else fails, blame your equipment. (Ignoring Gradpa's adage: "It is a poor workman who complains of his tools"

Case in point: I would be a virtuoso bluegrass guitar picker on the Grand Ol' Opry, except my super expensive special edition custom built Martin HD28v guitar holds me back. Similarly, I would be a first rate lead singer, if I only had a better microphone, [coupled with pitch correction, EQ, noise gate (to block MY voice), compressor, reverb, and all that other jazz] that would make me sound big, bold, and strangely on key.

Concomitantly, I still recommend improving his microphone and voicing technique before shelling out big bucks on a better microphone. N'est ce pas?

As it seems like you don't know what it is your looking for in a mic or how to get there, maybe a virtual system might be the way to go and that way you can try all the mics you like.

Well not all the mics.

I couldn't get that to translate very well. Would you care to?

 

[k brown]

I mean, seriously guys - didn't the thread title give away what you were getting into?

I guess we preferred to (try to) be more helpful than prejudiced? Wishful thinking, hopefulness, faith in humanity not-yet-completely lost? Extending an olive branch?

Yes, here we try to think positively, constructively. Ultimately, we all started from the beginning.

Yeah, but there's more going on here than beginner's ignorance.

 

[Khron]

Yeah, but there's more going on here than beginner's ignorance.

That did indeed become painfully obvious with time... Couldn't have (and arguably shouldn't have) necessarily been able to tell that just from the thread title.

 

[micolas]

Yeah, but there's more going on here than beginner's ignorance.

Unfortunately, today we no longer have the patience to learn, to study, to understand. I am convinced that the majority of those in the group are here motivated by passion, by the desire to learn, experiment, for pleasure. Not all of them have a professional training in electronics or even technical. Many are self-taught, although sometimes the learning curve is arduous, requiring a lot of effort, sacrifice, time, patience, even investment.
We must be open and grateful for all the help, support, of others, who are well-intentioned.

Let's say it is... less elegant than the adage quoted by sir @MicMaven
That's why the original version.

The meaning is the same, only we use a c..ertain word , quite popular amongst lower classes in Great Britain, but generally frowned upon.

 

[pmfalcman]

It was like a question: "how much a car costs?" - a dead giveaway.

 

[Barry Hufker]

Yet I hope we will continue to go into future discussions (complete with red flags) with the same open and positive attitude. I love that about this place.

look at the JZ mics-very affordable specially at sale prices. I use the Amethyst on just about everything. best 600$ ive ever spent on a mic. Also keep in mind that if your room sounds like crap, a better more derailed condenser mic will also bring that out.
