The C1 has been a work horse around here for some time. It's a real no brainier for tracking vocals on certain styles of music. In fact it was used on last years "Big Hit" in these parts.
I have found that the vocals will really cut through in the mix and sit snug.
But when it comes to more sibilant vocals, well that’s another story.
Might be me but I find that EQing some material captured by both the C1 and the NT2 does not deliver the expected results. The C1 will always be kept for it’s abilities. For it’s price it’s paid for itself many times over. That’s the thing when recording most VO’s and certain voices for certain styles of music it starts to show.
This has also made consider that I may not have to spend big dollars on a boutique or “industry” standard mic. |
Heh
...
The C1 does tend to stand out, due to a couple of amplitude peaks in the 5kHz - 7kHz range. I weighed in primarily because you mentioned that your facility was doing a lot of dialogue work and the C1 has always been well received by vo/dialogue folks. I wondered if something was wrong with the mic itself.
