| I don't know about the rode's HP, but I've often used the HP in the U87 (which I think is set around 100 Hz), and around 80Hz on outboard and other mics, with singers; esp. females. Almost always turns out better for me in the end. But you could try processing afterward with eq to see what will work. A gentler slope (like -6dB/octave) should work, and can be placed higher than a harder cut (and vise versa). I've found that the busier the arrangement of a song, and the more low frequencies coming from other sources besides the vocal, the more critical the HP is to getting the vocal to sit well in the mix. You may need less low freqs. than you at first might think. |
