a good mic pls

[micolas]

This is going nowhere. Please let's talk about more interesting subjects.

I think we are all of the same opinion.

 

[micolas]

I believe we would agree there ARE some good reviews from qualified folks which are worth looking for. I should have more clearly indicated I was referring to the large number of fake reviews by unqualified folks which makes finding the good reviews harder to find. You are correct - good discussion groups, like this one, are a vastly superior source of information.

A pertinent description of the situation.

Here’s something I wish someone had said to me when I was starting out: the difference between any half-decent microphones (of which the NT1 is one), is subtler than you might think. Most differences can be overcome with EQ, mic placement, room treatment, and technique. The reason expensive mics are expensive is because they deliver a “known quality,” and typically require a little less treatment to sound “right” (whatever “right” is for that voice/source).

There’s a lot of gear worship on YouTube and forums, but I’d rather have a good musician in a good room with an NT1 than a mediocre performer in a bad sounding room with a U87 (or 251 or C800g). It’s fine to want to get a better sound, but don’t expect a new microphone (or any piece of gear) to magically give you the sound you’re looking for. It never will.

Everything you have highlighted here is perfectly valid.

In Romanian it is rather mellow, lacks the necessary "street language flavour"

...yes, very "melow" indeed ...
in Romanian 'pizda' means what in Polish is 'ciota'.
Thankxxx, I had a lot of fun!

Thankxxx, I had a lot of fun!

You see, the dead horse is coming back to life ...
It’s a miracle!!!

PS: Wow! 12 pages of pure nonsense.

Da.
I wondered earlier if you are from Eastern Europe, you know many very specific things

More or less the same meaning in this case.
I'm glad you had

Almost Dali'esque, isn't it?

 

[pmfalcman]

(...) Romanian as a language, part of the Latin family, close to Italian and French

As I speak French (too) I can understand some of written Romanian.

(...) curvă (Kurva) an essential word in all Central and Eastern European nations.

Yup! Indispensable!!
One word, so many functions in a sentence...
Joy, disgust, exclamation, comma, adjective, noun etc, etc.
Not to mention a profession

BTW
Dangerous curve (ahead) both in English and Spanish (curva peligrosa) is absolutely hilarious

For me the diagnosis is clear: The horse is dead.

One can even guess the cause of death.
It's stoned...

 

[pmfalcman]

Escher fits too

 

[micolas]

It's stoned...

Stones thrown into the horse
Stones too heavy carried by the horse
Stones eaten by the horse, of hunger
Kidney stones
...
The horse is actually NOT dead.
It's a statue of... Stone.

- The Røde NT-1 (beige/cream first version) was used on Craig David's second album on some of the tracks. The producer used an "Inwards connection" outboard to sweeten and control the signal.

WTH is an "inwards connection"?

I married a gal with Kurva Peligrosa ... // James.

Parenthetically, back on topic, Wikipedia has a photo of her singing into what appears to be a Sennheiser MD431II - now THAT might be worth recommending to the OP because a dynamic microphone might do better at rejecting or ignoring ambient noise in the venue. Seriously.

(I betcha never imagined I could tie this back to the OP's topic, eh?)

A EQ for the microphone circuit but located outside?
I often do this for a more precise tuning from the outside of the microphone, then modify the circuit inside.

James, you are creative and have a developed sense of humor.
And besides, you're also a RadioAmateur with legal documents!

This is very debatable.

Not remotely on topic, but I saw The Stone Poneys in concert, as the opening act for the Doors in Boston back in the 60s.

This thread has turned into a brainstorming mess. I think it was a kind of release, like a group therapy.
