this could be fun - and helpful to new members deciding what mics to buy
Once upon a time, when I had money, and was deciding what mics to buy, the one thing I wished I could find was an actual direct comparison between two mics recording the same event from roughly the same location - has anyone ever done that?
Don't get me wrong - the samples are great, and that was one of the biggest factors when I made my decision - but there are just so many other variables in the room sound, band genre, taping location etc that sometimes made my head spin trying to figure out whether it was really the mic that was causing the sound I liked or disliked.
Anyone ever tried putting something like that together? I know a lot of people here have more than one set of gear, or know each other and can get something together, but I guess the only reason to do it would be as a learning guide for other folks and maybe it's more hassle than it's worth?
