OK, as promised yesterday here are some short files - 44.1 / 24 bit. Spoken work and acoustic.
I figured y'all could loop the short sections and A / B to your hearts content. Just think of the acoustic guitar as a "sound source" and not a piece of music. This is about all I need to make critical judgments about mics and mods, so you'll also get a sense of what I'm listening for - proximity effect amplitude / Q / F, midrange resolution, HF peakiness / integration with the midrange, sibilance levels and transient response. I can do this sort of thing very quickly and can extrapolate what I'm hearing to other instruments and full mix situations. I know this may not be how you're used to listening to mics but give it a shot.
One file is my 1970's "purple badge" U 87 (used by KRAMER on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack and a good number of other hits) and the other file is an OktavaMod modified RODE NT1a.
Which is which?
Here is file A and
here is file B.
I'm just really busy and can't spare a full three hour session to do more extensive tests at this point - but I've contracted with a leading LA engineer and fellow Gearslut to do more extensive tests in his studio.
