to the ECM from the same location the ATs would blow the ECM outta the water(as would the CSs IMO). Plus the ATs or CSs would already win hands down without a test because he'll be stealthing.
If sound is in the ear of the beholder(didnt you just give a spiel on that, asking how was I the authority on anything??) then how can you make the generalization that the AT or CS would win hands down??Who are YOU? Are you an authority? Anybody knows that nothing in audio is guaranteed. Including the rather uninformed statement that one mic will always win over another...
Comment 1 - I simply asked for a torrent to backup your claim, nuff said.
Im not here to prove anything, and dont care to. .thats that. I heard what I heard. As you dont have my ears, and I dont have yours...what good would providing links do? The statement that I made was that ive heard ECM recordings that sound really good(which I have), and I have also heard "high dollar" mic sources that sounded bad.(which I have) Are you so bold as to tell me what I do or do not hear? Thought not.
I don't like how you say "top of the line" (in their words) WTF is that, are you trying to say that those people are wrong? What do you mean (in their words)?
That one is pretty self explanatory. No hidden meaning. I said "in their words" so what does that mean??Probably "in their words"....
To who? You? since when are you the authority? Nobody is gonna release a recording that they think sounds like garbage.
I am the
absolute authority on what I hear. I dont care what others think of their recordings. I comment based on what
I hear. Who are you to tell me that what I hear does not sound like garbage to me? Exactly.
First you say " Learn how to use what you have first" This isn't his first recording with this mic, he's been using it for awhile.
That was a general statement. I knew he already purchased the CSBs, so I was not referring to his ECM microphone. I simply said that there are a lot of other factors into what makes or breaks a recording, and to not expect a miracle just because more money was spent.
You act like he's gonna drop 2G's on a pair of MGs/Neumanns/or Schoeps right outta the gate.
In whos world??I said nothing of the sort. I leave nothing to the imagination. If I have something to say, I say it. Dont misconstrue what I say. I speak very plainly and very bluntly.
Cmon, do you honestly think that these mics won't be an upgrade from what he's running now?
They might not sound like an upgrade automatically..too many other factors to consider. Once again, there are no absolutes. This is no exception....regardless of what you say or do not say.
I just didn't agree with your post, didn't know that nobodys allowed to challenge your opinions, maybe you can talk to Bri to get that into the posting and you thread.
Of course , anyone is allowed to challenge what I say. It happens daily.However, If you act like an ass while doing so, I will talk to you about it, which I did. Now examine that statement...Does that come off as adult, civil conversation, or does it come off as childish and reactionary?My vote is for the latter. I PMd you because it was the adult thing to do. You chose to be confrontational and childish about it,with off the cuff remarks, and talking about what I said in the PM... so thats that. Ill finish this post and detach from this conversation. I prefer the high ground anymore. confrontation with random internet people isnt worth the effort.
Not trying to be a dick but...
My experience is that when somebody prefaces a sentence with that very statement, 100% of the time they sound like a dick, and are trying to. You stating that makes you look like more of one, as it is a lie.
So, no need to compare me to the likes of GOTFOB bro
Hey "bro" I call it like I see it. If that offends your sensibilities, so be it.
My general point was that you dont have to have expensive gear to make good recordings. Once again, there are no absolutes in this craft. Anybody that says so is wrong. That includes ECM mics, panasonic mics, et al...You cannot make absolute statements anyway because nobody has the same pair of ears. Maybe an ECM source WOULD sound better to some people. You dont have the authority to dispute that, nor do I or anyone else for that matter...
over and out.
