HI,
i've been messing with my Shure Mv88 for a few shows now, and have had mixed results.
I recently taped an outdoor show were there were large bass speakers giving out chest thumping bass with the kickdrum and bass guitar.
My recording seems to clip or compress with every low end note. after hearing this, i checked my settings on the Motiv app to find "Limiter" was on, and
"Compression" was set to low. I thought they were off previously, in fact this mic supposedly stores this info in the mic and not the app. so not sure what happened.
https://soundcloud.com/jeffreytopping/13-vanityheres an audio sample. You can hear the clipping once the loud music kicks in.
my question, is this because those two settings were on? I've red lined/topped out a recording before and never got this kind of drop off in volumne.
Or is the mic simply not able to handle this kind of intense low end?
I thought my levels were low and head enough headroom... but someone told me this app is severly innacurate.
thoughts? thanks in advance.
