Members sailorman Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 just to chime in on the NTK; I've been using one on a hi-baritone singer (think Jim Morrison) with excellent results IMO. Also have used it for vocals with my wife with no sibilance issues. And I got the best results I've ever achieved on a high end classical guitar. Note that this is just in my basement hobby studio, not a 'real' studio with great pre's (I use an ART D/IO). Samples are in my sig, notablly the Doors covers and White Bird which has my wife's vocals and nylon guitar. Too many choices; tough on the brain.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 There are a LOT of choices, that's for sure, and it's impossible to track all of 'em down. Just about every time I read a pro audio magazine now, I see new manufacturers that I'm unfamiliar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Filch Posted February 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Indeed, there's so many out there, so many choices, I have no idea. I hope the Sam Ash or Guitar Center in my area will let me play with them. I have a friend who worked at a Sam Ash who said their return policy was pretty good. Any more suggestions before my mind pops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joe Vocht Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sure...the CAD M179 condensor. I also sing baritone and have found this mike to be fantastic for recording plus the fact that it only cost 170.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Filch Posted March 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2008 . You need to place a metal pop screen a minimum of 2-3" away from the mic diaphragm for best results. The way they work is not by "blocking" wind blasts like a nylon screen, but by diverting the blast away from the mic via their louvered design. If you place a metal screen too close to the diaphragm, the wind blast isn't going to be fully diverted, and you'll still have problems with plosives. What technique is used if you want to get a nice proximity effect, especially for lower voice registers, but keeping the plosives to a minimum? Nylon in this case?

Members UstadKhanAli Posted March 2, 2008 Members Share Posted March 2, 2008 I suppose you could use a nylon screen. Or if a singer *really* knows what they are doing, you could try it without a screen, but have the singer sing ACROSS the mic, not singing directly into the mic, but having their breath move ACROSS the mic.
