| The biggest problem is that nobody seems to realize that there's no one mic for every purpose. The Neumann, like any other mic, will sound good on this and not on that. Those here who think it can be thrown in front of anything and will sound great are totally delusional.
A true professional will see to it that the proper mic is used for the given situation. One horn player will sound better on mic X than through mic Y, feeding into the same gear. Playing the same horn. Etcetera, etcetera.
The right mic for the right sound. That is all that matters. Not the brand. That is the mark of a true professional. |
