Hi,

Yesterday I made a new song and for once I though it sounded pretty
good. Last time I recorded, I used my 635a for the guitar and my EV
RE-510 for my vocals. But this time I switched.

The RE-510 sounds really good on a guitar amp combo. Less ambient than
the 635a to say the least, more punch. And the 635a gives that 70's feel
to my voice which I particularly like... a bit like talking through a
phone.

Results may vary...

I'm curious. I've mixed many top-name performers' vocals using 635As.
They never sounded anything like "talking through a phone". Being as
difficult to damage as the 635A is, what else could possibly wrong with
your recording setup?


635A has no top end and no bottom end. Because of that, it will show up
midrange problems in the recording chain and in the monitors very clearly.
It does magnify the midrange a lot.. combine it with monitors that have
a peaky presence region and the effect could be depressingly telephonic.
