I worked for Brauner development. You can't replace a Neumann, Brauner, Schoeps etc. by a cheap microphone and an EQ. get a Haun capsule or similar and build a less expensive microphone yourself. I don't have a good microphone myself. Regarding to the music and recordings you do, you don't need a good microphone, but as soon as you'll record more than just your Rock'n'roll vocals by Shure classic sound you need a good = expensive microphone. An EQ only can readjust what is existing, but just is too silent or too loud. You can't readjust response characteristic, directional characteristic, missing frequencies. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
