AT4047 vs modded MK319 vs NT-1a

1st is nice, maybe a little dark (Oktava?) but it depends on arrangement - sounds great and natural alone but don't know how it'll be with other instruments, 2nd have weird bump in midrange and sounds pinched (Rode?) and I wouldn't use it, 3rd is most finished sound with less midrange and more HF than 1st so my guess is AT4047. I would keep 1 and 3 and choose depending on song.

It is a sparse arrangement - just vocalist and her piano. Same mic numbering as previous clips:

with piano, mic 3 is a lonely winner for me

I think that may be the NT-1, at least it has the hard sibilance, that I associate with some of the Røde mics...

I think I like 1 the best.

Any more opinions on these clips?

With piano in, 3 is head and shoulders above the rest. Silky and detailed. But it's also the most revealing... less forgiving of pitch problems. 2 is a little harsh but not bad, more "modern/radio" sounding. I wouldn't want to sound like that, but it seems a lot of people do, and it masks notes where she's a little off. If she just was having an off day, I would use 3

Here are the mic identities:

mic1 = MK319 (Joly-mod)
mic2 = AT4047
mic3 = NT-1a

The singer picked mic1 for her recording. I thought it was best for her too.

The Oktava sounds pretty good.

Mic 1 Winner ,very nice sound and also Mic 3 is also ok but seems little louder.

Thank you for sharing this.
I was going to order Oktava Mk319 from Joly-mod.
Can not wait to compare it to my Miktek CV4.
