To each his own, how can someone say that a mic is BORING. That's absurd. That means the SOURCE is boring. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. A compressor can arguably be boring, but not a microphone. |
$6,000.00 for overheads are pretty expensive. The studio that I am at used to use a pair of vintage 87's for OH's... Now, they are in the locker and were replaced by some vintage AKG's... But those vintage 87's are pretty darn good for OH'S.
