I´ve been experimenting with using 2 different mics in different positions simultaneously when recording vocals, blending the two tracks afterwards. It has given me something that I have been looking for, and above all given me much better results with cheap-gear recording. Also, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities and combinations.
The first combination that gave me the wow-effect was a fat Ribbon-mic closeup (GR-8, similar to nady, tsm-84 and others), combined with a bright condenser a few feet behind (CM-H8C, resembling rodeNT series). Both through the same SPL Goldmike pre. Then mixing them with a 4/3 blend......sounded very nice and expensive to me......but above all it has it´s own unique sound, fat and warm but still present without being too bright.

Anybody heard of this before or tried it ?
Anybody else care to share experiments they´ve tried ?

Anyway, thanks to Gearslutz for being here.....getting internet at home is the best thing that happened to me in years
