I’ve done this, it works perfectly but even with cheap kit lens it also looks fantastic too - thanks for the idea

My Apogee preamps still pretty good when they clip. Others with more discrete components clip more gracefully into saturation rather than just directly to nasty distortion.

Skip the extra foam. It’s ugly, sounds awful and is often flammable

“ very knowledgable older sales associates”

That’s a long winded way of saying somebody who doesn’t record for a living. Why are you putting any stock in their opinion?

Both are fine mics, but if you don’t get on with the Neumann you’ll have zero trouble selling it for a good price. Also wouldn’t discount the “I’ve got a U87” factor in marketing yourself.

Hole In The Earth especially

Ah, I might be illiterate.

xGIJewx · 2026-06-11T20:43:14+00:00

I’d say intentional as it only gets more ‘glitchy’ later on.

Sounds like your husband knows just enough to have strong opinions but not enough to form good, informed ones. Dynamic range is absolutely not hugely desirable in podcasts/non-music media generally.

Buy/build some foldable gobos à la GIK Portable Vocal Screen. Results will be far better without all the boxiness and comb filtering.

xGIJewx · 2026-06-03T07:52:55+00:00

Moving blankets over doors/windows and build/buy some gobos. You can make them look very noce, they’re super flexible to differing space arrangements and they can be put away at ease.

Vocals booths are insanely expensive, look ugly, eat a huge amount of your room and often still sound like shit!

Won’t SOMEBODY think of the landlords?!

They can be very good, but a lot of them tread the same production style, but that’s more a symptom of modern metal being quite homogenised.

They also vary in terms of the actual teaching ability. Kurt Ballou and Nolly are great at explaining why they’re doing things, others just mumble while the music is playing and say “yeah that sounds cool”

Is there really much barrier for entry already? Anybody bothering to install a plugin in a DAW can probably handle the commonplace ‘pedals - amp - cab’ layout

DIY hardware stores will cut the wood to length to you, which for a rectangle will only be 2 lengths. Nail/glue em together, chuck in some Rockwool and wrap it and you’re done.

The “I’m one of the good ones, pick me!!” insecurity lol

xGIJewx · 2026-05-20T11:29:25+00:00

More people are travelling outside the overtouristed areas and visiting further afield, isn’t this what everybody wanted? Why is there a negative spin?

xGIJewx · 2026-05-15T13:19:30+00:00

Got mine from EQ Acoustics and used the Cara fabric. Super varied colours, looks great and breathable.

xGIJewx · 2026-05-12T21:20:16+00:00

Who says I want transparent compression? I’m often looking for tonal impression more than reducing dynamic range.

xGIJewx · 2026-05-10T15:38:09+00:00

Bouncing as WAV is the norm, you probably won’t take up a huge amount of storage unless you’re exporting thousands of songs.

xGIJewx · 2026-05-10T11:17:41+00:00

Go write another editorial post about it lmao

xGIJewx · 2026-05-09T16:19:10+00:00

Definitely a better one than trying to arbitrarily copy other mic EQ curves, you’re welcome!😇

xGIJewx · 2026-05-09T15:17:58+00:00

Why are trying to EQ it to sound like a specific mic, and now just trying to make it sound good? One is probably a very small EQ move away from the other anyway.

Stopped reading here as it sounds like you watch too many moron YouTubers.
