Shure ksm44 - acoustic & voice test

Shure ksm44 - acoustic test

http://www.lightningmp3.c...e/84869-ksm44test1.mp3

i bought a ksm44 a couple of months ago, hadn't had time to really play with it yet...
this is a quick demo


down and dirty, 3 separate vocal tracks, i copied all three and panned hard left/right, 4 separate acoustic tracks, threw a compressor and limiter across the mas bus, faders up
some reverb and delay for ambience


seemed more appropriate to post this here, instead of SONGS

Love this. Vocals need to be more upfront IMHO (harmonies are just too good to be overshadowed by the guitars). No nits with the acoustic guitars at all, although I have the impression that regardless of the hardware used, your acoustic takes will always sound good. It's a performance thing. I can't really "technically" comment on the mic per say, but it does sound good to me. Always a pleasure bat!

Listening in the cans (ATH M50).

thanks for checking this one out...
the vox are mixed back, as if they would be if it were another instrument..
they're only there to fill the sound out...
it was really featuring the guitar, i added the vox as an afterthought, and then decided to mix them behind the guitars.
think of them as another instrument!
heheh

thanks for listening.
you know, i'll never record a tune with only one voice, one guitar, so i like the idea of using the equipment that is actually indicative of the way it will be used in the studio on real material.
the real test of a mic, isn't the way it sounds all by itself, but the way it translates when you start stacking tracks with the same equipment....
most times, any deficiency in the mic or preamp, for that matter, will start to really rear it's head with multiple tracks.

sorry Batsbrew, I will disagree with you on this, I hear what you are saying but I would lose the 
effects and double tracking. Thanks for posting though!
