That said, they have a detailed and crisp high end to them. If you have a siblant singer, I frequently use something different.....at least with my mic collection. In fairness I have had the same issues with a GML and API.
I tend to use a Avedis MA5 or Neve Portico for those type of singers as they are a bit smoother. |
Yea, you read my mind.. I'm the singer, and I can be a bit sibilant, but that is not so much the fault of the horizon
Btw. the guy with the Soundelux195 mentioned that he went back to using his
Brick as it was less sibilant with his voice.
I think I would get the
Avedis if it had a DI, but I'd like to give my monosynths a go on it too. The
Portico might be a good deal, it has what I need and I imagine its hard to go wrong on a Neve, though I haven't tried it either. I make rather modern electronic rock but do prefer a more warm (and less compressed) tone - not necessarily vintage but just not with too much briteness. Round.
But its hard to be cool when there's a buzz
But I hate my sibilantes. Doh!
