I've never heard the term "Mic effect" before, and the screenshot you showed looks like Line 6. Is it software that came with a Line 6 audio interface? If so, they are feeding you a line of bulls**t... basically you are scrolling through a series of "effects" that are supposed to emulate high end studio gear, microphones, mic preamps, compressors, etc.
For example, in your screenshot, it shows a picture of a piece of equipment which looks strangely familiar to most experienced engineers... it's a Neve EQ, probably "supposed" to sound like a 1073. The fact that it's labeled "Vintage UK" is another clue that it's supposed to be a Neve emulation. The compressor next to it looks like an LA2A.
So basically, for you to ask what setting Jay Z is using, it's no surprise you are getting lashed out at by other people on this board, because the fact is, he's not using any "setting." I can guarantee he's not using a Line 6 interface with software settings emulating high end audio gear, he's using the actual gear. I've only been to Jay's studio once, and very briefly, but I can tell you it is VERY well equipped... with many different choices for microphones, mic preamps, EQs, and compressors.
Hope this helps answer your questions, and also maybe will help you understand why people responded to your question the way they did. |
If you actualy read what I was saying, I simply asked what people THOUGHT it was Jay-Z was using effect wise through his mic.
All i wish to do is get something similiar, im not dumb enough to think that most setups would give me the exact same results as a Jay-Z setup. I was just asking those of you who ARE expierienced, what you think it COULD be that he uses, thats all. Also I all truly was trying to get out of my post was other efficient ways to make my vocals sound somewhat as clear as MAYBE a Jay-Z setup,but more or less anything close to it.That would be with or without using Line6 Pod Farm. Im not sure of other ways to record because this is the only setup ive ever recorded with.Anyways I do understand EQ,Compression and what not thats what other people werent understanding, nowhere in my post did I talk about not knowing how to make mixes.
