Now I heard the difference, but now a new problem occured.
The VTB1 has a delay and is announced for 28. march now!!
I am really p***ed off now, since I can't compare the 2 next to each other, by that day I should have sent the Goldmike back again, and I am not that impressed (yet) that I'd already have decided for or against it. It's 300 Euros difference, with which I could get other necessary equipment like Melodyne, and food.
So I just wonder if I should send back the Goldmike and change the dealer again, or just get the presonus tubepre from my local store. I'm annoyed.
My voice sucks too btw, another possible explanation why I can't be impressed.
Is there a preamp out there that is traditionally best for crap voices? :)
(my voice sounds pressed, thin, closed and has a small rattle in it.)
Another possibility would be to send back the goldmike, get the VTB in about a month, maybe prefer the goldmike then, send back the VTB, order the goldmike again... and begin with my recordings 3 months later than planned.........
