a good mic pls

[hank alrich]

The added frequency that can't be measured!

Ok, what's next? The xlr made from 'special' material by virgin at fullmoon? The stone which purify your acoustic signal? Some quantum physic related blackbox?.. this is hopeless.

No need to eq voice. Ah ok.

<jk>I think you're beginning to get it!</jk>

Quit the therapy. It's a scam. With saved money buy a microphone. Or four.
It works better.



And faster.




And is cheaper..

Oh no All that money gone for nothing!!! Funny it’s almost exactly the same amount as the price of a new Maserati my therapist just bought. Funny thing, he always says “see you next week or tomorrow “ just as the door closes. Hmmmm……..clever!

i think it was around 2khz where u have to lower it about 4.5 db on all microphones.

Put your ear 6cm or 8cm away from someone's mouth while they are talking and you will also wish to lower 2kHz. That is close to the resonance of the ear canal, and is also an area where the mouth is somewhat directional. I usually lower 2kHz in live settings where the vocalist is very close to the microphone.
Move back from the microphone to 1m or better 2m and 2kHz is much less annoying.

It was actually @Khron but thanks anyway. I appreciate your appreciation

I wasn't wrong.
@Khron artistically shook me with the p*nis metaphor.
Everyone has their own slice of delicious cake.

I got it wrong with the frequency i think it was around 2khz where u have to lower it about 4.5 db on all microphones. U can do that on all youtube videos too where someone speaks, U will immidiately notice that their voices sound much more as if they arent talking into a microphone but how u imagine the person to really sound like if they were next to u!

And so it’s all microphones that are 2K heavy - not your speakers (and possibly soundcard)? Doesn’t quite fit the facts somehow.

@Khron artistically shook me with the p*nis

Ha! The thread is getting more and more fun!

metaphor.

Well, it's not...

 

[micolas]

THE BEST microphone exists! Which has a sound closest to ur real voice.

my voice is as amazing as it is,. no need to cut out the mids!

And no, I dont think microphones give u the real voice , there is a certain area that is boosted (around 4khz) in ALL microphones!!!! But not shown!
I can hear it

I got it wrong with the frequency i think it was around 2khz where u have to lower it about 4.5 db on all microphones.

I can extend my ears with my hands and pointing them somewhat forward, that I heard gives u an accurate representation of ur voice. I hear a beautiful Voice whether I use that technique or not.

What should we understand from all these statements?

I bought some of those XLR’s and keep them in a sealed, grounded copper box so the electrons don’t escape.
I also only use solder made from lead salvaged from church roofs from the 12th century that has special “properties “. Not sure what they are but it was expensive so it must be good. I can hear the difference!
My power is all supplied by specially made $200 IEC cables that vastly improve the quality of my audio system.
I wear a tinfoil pointy hat with antennas while working to keep the rays from space away.

All microphones are bad except for the one that exists that no one can name

A measly $200??? Pah! Peasant! Cheapskate!

At take the risk of repeating myself:

And, mind you, Roadrunner most probably meant australian dollars!

[wink, wink nudge, nudge]

 

[rogs]

There are all sorts of magical details that make certain audio items 'special'..

Take the Neumann N149 power supply. ( Some images posted HERE a while back )
The apparently oddly bent bits of metal ... the particular random routing of the cables (not a conventional loom arrangement)..... the plastic Chinese SMPS box ... All help to create that 'special' Neumann sound.

It may appear to just be a really badly put together power supply.. but it costs over £1000 so that simply can't be true --- surely??

Well, Shoot - that explains EVERYTHING! Tin hats should be rounded - not pointed!

Those guys immediatley reminded me of these guys:

Yes, bone conduction is always worth considering; especially if you're a bone head (sorry, couldn't resist).

OK, ... so NOW it IS getting personal -- because I actually OWN BONE CONDUCTION HEADSETS for my hand held radios! I suppose y'all gonna say that makes ME a bone head? Huh? Fella? Is that where this is going, punk?

Great advert. I like the "Take me to your leader" computer voices!

So, TAKE COURAGE, Old Man! (although, I am an "Old Peculier" sort of guy. myself.)

Bone conduction 'phones are an exception; only ever used by brilliant people.
