I love it..."a fast track whatever it's called". Welcome!
John
So many questions...so much software...so many plug-ins...so many tricks...so many mics...glad to be here.
I have used lots of different mics for V/O and on-air. Another one that likes my voice is the AKG C414. Again, without the dust cover. In radio we used a lot of Shure SM5Bs in the 1980s and they were really smooth and almost indestructable. Now, the station engineers all like those EV RE27N mics, but I hate them. Broadcast engineers typically buy based on specs and price, not by auditioning several models with a variety of voices.
Studio setup in radio has to allow for a range of voices, so you can imagine the challenge. It is hard enough to get things sounding good with just one person's voice! And the rooms are often less than optimal with lots of hard drive noise, air vents and other issues. I have wound up with some good overall compromises minimizing the noises and maximize the voices. Hard to do though.
Ah yes, the toys...it's the reason I got interested in radio at the age of 13! All that old stuff that people threw away and now gets big bucks on ebay.
Thanks!
I think I started this the wrong way, I believe I should've started this as a discussion. So I'll do it again that way and see what happens.
