Okay...so all the time on this site I hear that if you have a bad room, you should buy a dynamic mic over a condenser...I think I understand why this is the
thinking, but I don't understand, or at least, I don't believe that this is correct.
Condensers are MUCH more sensitive than dynamics. This I give you...I noticed this the first second I plugged in a condenser when I was 17.
The noise is therefore, of course, louder...
But if the NOISE is louder, then the VOCAL signal is louder as well. If the polar patterns of the two , dynamic vs condenser, are both cardiod, then they have the same amount of room in them.
That is, the vocal to room ratio has to be the same. It isn't possible to be any different. If my direct vocal is 100-dBspl...and my reflections are like I dunno 60 dBspl...than my 'vocal to reflection ratio' is 10 to 6...how could this change because of a new mic with the same polar pattern?
Sure, if my mic was more sensitive, the room would be recorded much louder...but that would also HAVE to mean the vocal is recorded that much louder as well. You turn one up...you turn the other...plain and simple.
You can't just increase the noise and not the vocal.
The only POSSIBLE reason this could be is because of self-noise, but then that would not be a room issue...just a condenser issue.
I don't see how this could possibly be wrong, but I'm open to criticism and someone proving me wrong. I just hear this so much and don't agree. I also don't want to hear 'i know from experience dynamics are better here' or something like that, because, although I trust most of your opinions and ears, that would be like telling me that your opinion is that you've experienced an
