thanks for this drBill

can't wait for the answer
Inner Light - thanks for playing.... Interesting that you thought Mic 1 had more bass. Mic 1 definately has more "warmth" in the low mids, but not really low bass stuff. My preception (and this could be because I'm listening to WAV files instead of MP3's) is that Mic 2 has substantially more depth in the low end. So much so that it's a problem in the mix and I would have to automate a HPF in and out to remove extreme lows at times. Mic 2 will make the subs rattle the room on low notes or pedal resonances vibrating that big wood floor. And you GOTTA love that!

chandlersonic - I LOVE these discussions. We all hear stuff so differently. I think that mic 1 is more intimate and mic 2 is cleaner and more precise when Jeff plays harder. How come no mic has it all!!! I wish I could have uploaded entire pieces. I think it would have given a clearer picture of the entire spectrum. Oh well, you can always get the CD. I'll have to work on getting a GS discount going!

I'll reveal soon. Maybe tomorrow if I don't have to fight with loans bank stuff all day. Hate that stuff.
