Terry Angelli commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Great tips from all and I thank you for them. I plan on trying all of the techniques once I get my little studio set up. And I was "shocked" to see shock mounts in the $250.00 range on music equipment sites. :-)"

Rick Heenan commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"There is a technique called "working the mic" that the folks in radio use. Just like mic'ing an amp, move your head around the mic to find the optimum spot.  Where the P's don't pop.  Angled to one side or the…"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"I've been experimenting with vocals lately, in the past most of my recording has been exclusively instrumental but I'm branching out a bit. I'm a Pretty BaD PoPPer so that's something I'm addressing. I've found that…"

Phil Manuel commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Happy Holidays to you too Terry! As for both of those items, yes they are good to have, especially the pop filter.  The shock mount is nice, but if you are careful not to bang around too much while you play, you can get by without one. …"

"Fran & Phil, Happy holidays to you too and thanks for the condenser mic info. I got a large diaphragm Sterling brand mic I just cant remember the model. I was aware that the condensers are much more sensitive but having never used one I had no…"

Phil Manuel commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
" I've got a MXL v67g large condensor type mic and a v67n small condenser.  Not trashnig these mics, just havent found a way to get the presense and warmth I'm looking to get out of the small condenser.  I don't have…"

"Phil, I'm trying to get a sense of what you find unsatisfactory about the result. Noisy? Shrill? Dull? What are the mics specifically? Fran"
Dec 24, 2012
Phil Manuel commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Fran, no matter where I place this small condenser mic, it just doesn't give me a very good result.  It could be just the particular mic I have, or some other variable, but the large condenser mic works well for me.  As with all mics…"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Phil, what is the issue with your small diaphragm condenser? What don't you like about it? The common "wisdon" about the difference between large D and small D mics is mostly garbage. There are LD mics with flat response and SD mics…"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Terry, the main thing to know about condenser mics vs dynamics is the greater sensitivity they exhibit. This means that at the same preamp gain setting the condenser will capture a much louder recording. Many folks complain that their condenser…"

Phil Manuel commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Hi, Terry!  Happy holidays! I've got 2 condenser mics, a pencil type - small condenser, and a large condenser mic.  The pencil mics are supposed to have better freq range, than the large condenser, but for me I use the large…"

"So I got a nice condenser mic for my b'day and Santa is bringing some studio monitors (I hope!) and I'm looking forward to making better recordings than I have. Any one have any suggestions about using the condenser mic since I've…"
