mics with edge

gevermil · 17th March 2005

Im looking for a mic that " bodifies" the weaker element of my voice
I have an assortment of the basics and none of them in expierimental combinations seem to be giving me what I need . My voice is low but weak in the mids . Ive got the u195 , 4033 , sm7 , 57 , m147 . Hardy M1 , great river mp1nv
adm pres . In all my trials it seems the 4033 still gives me the bite my voice needs to cut through a mix . Yet it seems hollow .
What mics do you reach for to make a "dead " voice , active in the mix .
Ive heard u67s are agresssive midrange mics , but at 5k thats not going to happen . Or do I need to invest in a decent EQ . 1176 ect

I've had great luck with the Soundelux U99 the last couple of projects for getting that 'big rock sound' on male vocals, it's big in the presence frequencies (2-5k), but also has a big low end/proximity in cardiod. It's loosely based on a U67.

I have found the Soundelux 251 to be pretty frickin agressive. The MP3 I posted a few weeks ago was all done with that mic into a Daking/Distressor.

Possibly a Sony C-37a- Given your discription, I'd give that a try. Wonderful fat mids....

the peluso 2247 is big sounding and tends to push to vocal forward.
