Since this two boards are getting discussed a lot lately, I thought that posting some audio files would have been a good thing
As usual this is a non scientific test, even if I did my best to be precise!
The chain was: Rode NT5-->Console mic pre-->Motu 24I/O straight into cubase. No peak editing, no processing at all, I tried to record the takes so they were already balanced and "ready" to export.
At first I recorded the guitar at one feet from the point where the neck meets the body. Then I engaged the high shelf at 12K giving a boost of 6db on both consoles and re-recorded the tracks. Then I moved backward and recorded the last two samples at about three feet from the mic.
As for the snare, the mic was placed at about two feet over it aimed to the center. Regarding the voice, I had the singer at about one feet from the mic with a popper stopper on it to prevent annoying air blasts.
I think that's all... enjoy!
PS. I'm currently performing some tests on the eq's, I'll post the results soon.
