So I grab this cassette tape "Starlight 85" and head out to the car...well there is no Jerry on this...its some reggae band...
"Sounds good..." I think to myself..."hmmph...who is this? Sounds like a SBD..."
But then I hear some crowd between songs..."hmmm...audience, not bad..."
So I finally figure out this is "George Wesley and the Iretations" at Penn State...like 1990.
I made this tape with a Sony D5 and pair of Radio Shack Highball Dynamic Mics...Damn does it sound nice!!! Probably some analog compression happening...but to think some shit mics can sound so nice...
So now - I have to try again...
I am a mic whore...so I've put together a set of Realistic "Dual Response" Dynamic Cardioid Mics...I think these are roughly the eqivalent of a Shure SM53...
http://www.shure.com/pdf/discontinued/sm53-54.pdfQuestion...am I at risk of too much SPL? I mean - we use 57s for micing guitar amps...so am I safe here?
I know these are no 441s - but I just want to have some fun...I will still be running my "A" rig...
Anyone else still sport Dynamic mics once in while...?
