Im sure there are better combo's and depending on the engineer you could get better results using that exact same combo. But in general I dont have a problem with the 414, as Ive done most of my work past and present with one. And on the same token I am not converted fanboy of Neuman. I saw more character with it, but not some mind blowing change.
Here is a sample so you can get an idea of what the outcome was. iTunes - Music - Contradiction by Dre the Fifth |
Sounds nice man, vocal sound kinda reminds me of Jeru the damaja nice n thick but up front too ,
Which rev of the 414 did you use ?
