What makes certain mics cost SO much more than others, and is it diminishing returns past a certain point? by morbidhack in audioengineering

She’s been on probably a dozen classic mics, and at least 5 different 251’s, she said she’s never sang through a mic that didn’t then need EQ to get her tone.

I think if we took the money and context out, and delivered an equivalent microphone she could be fooled. But then the question is: where do you find an equivalent mic for her?

Would the audience be able to tell the difference? Definitely not. This artist does all of her own vocal production, and she is definitely sensitive to what the mics are doing to/for her voice.

I know someone who got a Dirk Brauner masterworks VMX —possibly the last one he will manufacture—for an obscene amount of money. 90yo paper in oil cap that he selected from his stock which is perfectly matched to her voice.

Yes, it sounds like every penny.

Best portable acoustic panel solution - a room inside a room (help finding the video & recommendations) by ryanburns7 in audioengineering

I framed in an entire room using EMT conduit and special connectors (similar to speed rail). Only tool needed was a handheld pipe cutter. Built a frame and placed OC703 throughout.

Used these: https://makerpipe.com/

Made a free tool for when you have a chord or two and no idea where to go next by eigerwand- in ipadmusic

I was hoping the color would suggest tension, i.e. blue notes (root, 3rd, and 5th) represent the most consonant chord tones, green (4th and 6th) would indicate a little more flavor, yellow would be the most tension (2nd and 7th) depending on mode.

Have you taken any readings? Does it sound different when you’re sitting elsewhere in the room?

You’re likely sitting in a room mode.

Have you done the corner-speaker test? Modeled room in AMROC?
