What can I do with a '48?
Hey, everyone. I'm currently in this place; I own a Cobalt Co9... it's a really nice dynamic mic with a good, open high-end and very decent and clear low-end. However, I own an SM48. It doesn't have so much of a clear top end, and has a sharp bump in the upper mids. It's pretty much useless for vocals (NO amount of EQ gets a sound close to what I want).
The only use I have had for it was when I was recording my brother on cello- I needed to get more bass n' body so I put the SM48 near a sound hole, and the Co9 near the strings for the highs and more cleanliness. I didn't have to do much in post beyond boosting the lows a bit more, and it sounded AWESOME.
So in short with the SM48's characteristics, what other uses are there for this mic?
