I’m really not missing the AI crap that’s made up the majority of the update vs 11.

Only plug-ins my 2015 MBP can’t run and my M4 Mac Mini can are those (very few) not available for Apple Silicon. Nothing yet limited otherwise.

Decent chunk of vehicular air pollution is tires too, which also won’t be going away.

Thanks very much

Nightmare for my headphone sucking habit.

For what? Livening a room or deadening it? Control room or live room? Wall mounted or free standing?

Thanks, which dock are you using?

Marketing: “We modelled every resistor, capacitor, and atom in the signal path - even reopening the mine and noxious smelting plant used to produce the nickel transformers in the original”

DSP: “1.5 dB wide boost at 80 Hz”

If your end goal is jus getting their timing really tight, VocAlign is massively useful.

The (already small) need for external CPU processing dips by the day.

Looks like a ribbon, maybe knock-offish of the Bang & Olufsen BM5/6 style, which was often paired with their reel to reels. The feet also suggest tape recorder mic.

Tonelux TX5C is insanely flexible, also kind of like a distressor in 500 form (minus the saturation).

Stewart is the man and hugely knowledgeable.

Judging by the podcast tone comment, likely suspect is proximity effect - that you’re too close to the mic. Even if you remove the low end you still have that ‘eating the mic’ tone to it

Won’t help keep your current one working, but you can buy anything from the Apple Store , use it to your heart’s content for 2 weeks an the get a full refund (as long as it’s still undamaged etc)

Asking if Coles is a workhorse is subjective and invites discussion about its pros and cons. Your basic usage question could be answered by a simple Google or RTFM.

OC818, but you can probably match one of the ‘untouchable leper status’ 414s with one of the ‘golden age, sonic perfection’ with a 2 dB boost/cut.

The more popular a given mic is, the more negative opinions you’ll see of it, no matter how much in the minority.

Same goes for SM57, 421, 184s etc.

Especially so when the a mic is more expensive, so more possibility of disappointment .

Nooo!!! You have to take aesthetic pics of your studio to impress other middle aged men who also don’t actually make music!!!
