Of course it will sound crap, or trying to record vocals with no pop shield or shock mount. It was not my intension to pxxx anyone off. I just said it like it was dude.
Sure there are microphones that I don't always favour as a first choice, but I would not say things like, well I would buy it if it was cheaper even although I don't like it.

I just bought the c414 XLII and ran it through the Avalon 737 for Hiphop and the shit sounds amazing. I guess some people have harder times getting a good result than others. Check out hiphopgame.com and read Dr. No's blog and he talks about how to use that mic to its fullest with an avalon. He is a top Hiphop engineer! Check it out!

PEACE
