asking for. That Schoeps is about as neutral as it gets. Ribbon mics are NOT
neutral.
Dear Ty, thanks for taking the trouble to answer in such detail.
First, rest assured everything concerning guitar technique, nails,
strings etc is ok. Also, I know my present mic and preamps (ULN2) are
ok. But that's not the issue. As I mentioned, my preferred guitar has
a slight, intrinsic harshness to its sound which I hoped - based on my
limited knowledge of recording gear - could be smoothen out with a
ribbon mic. I would be happy with such mic even if it's not perfectly
neutral, provided it's not bright.
Based on this thread I decided to get the M160, and if not pleased
send it back.
Thanks everybody here for your help, I really appreciate it.
K,
Understand. My M160 is somewhat finnicky as to the mic pre. There are a few
it really does well with.
AEA TRP, Neve 9098, Jensen Dual Servo.
Try to get one of them and please let us know how it comes out.
Are different strings a possibility?
Regards,
Ty Ford
