it's not bs. it was the mic that ruined those sessions - everything else in my chain
at that time was standard for me in my recordings for years.

i expected a better sound quality from that mic - more detailed, better frequency response, etc.

we obviously have different opinions, but to call my opinion "bs" is uncool...
