I had a Reflexion filter. It colored the sound in a negative way. Sold it. Which one? Thanks! Chris |

I tried the SE and also did not like it. I do think the real traps one is better.

My new home has some rough acoustics
I spoke with the owner of alpaca mics and he agreed to let me try one
I had tried the rest and hated them all
This one I thought was not bad, kept it. It's servicing me well for now

I've got two studios at home - upstairs is The Office, where I do mostly mixing and synths, sometimes DI bass - and 90% of my vocals. I use the cheapo model of the SE and really quite like it. My room is pretty soft-sounding, with a few hundred bucks' worth of acoustic tiles from Amazon, right? So, no "real" treatment. The mic I use in this space is a Roswell K87, and with the SE behind it, the mic sounds really good and my voice is consistently manageable. That's a key for me, as my voice can range from pleasant to un-, depending on the song. The combo of this mic and the SE has never let me down. I tried the Kaotica Eyeball, but it added a weirdo frequency that didn't work for me. If I subtract the SE from the equation, the room resonance jumps into the mic.
My downstairs studio is a basement that, like my upstairs space, is treated with foam and felt, sofas and rugs. There's a low acoustic-tiled ceiling, too, which helps give the space a rather pleasant sound overall. A little bit of life, but plenty of tonal containment. That said, the studio is a resonant mess when it comes to monitoring at volume. I have another Roswell mic, the K67, setup inside the same version of the SE filter I use in the Office. The K67 has always been more variable on my voice and I think the SE filter can work against me. Obviously my approach isn't scientific or even very "pro," but generally I know when something works or doesn't. In my situation, the upstairs K87/SE filter does help me capture consistent vocal recordings. Given that the K67 is a less consistent mic for me, I can't how the SE filter factors in to a more reliably variable result.

This one actually works quite well. I was quite surprised that it didn't fluk up the sound...the Aston Halo.  I also got one of those recently and it works very well for vocals and other acoustic instruments. Recordings do sound better with it and I already have a pretty good sounding room to being with. |

So two no-no's? A reflection filter AND a 47FET on vocals. Sounds pretty good...

I'd love to hear the RAW Track(s). Sounds a bit Processed.  But beautiful voice nonetheless. A fan of the 47 FET here. Am planning to use my BZ Elly Studio mic... For an eventual narration, of my planned children's book. (Hopefully will move to TV) Even narrower pattern pickup, than the Neumann. Then combine it with my RealTraps PVB. BTW... I do believe Post-Pandemic... Sonic expectations have relaxed in many Vocal Recordings. Both Singing and Speech. Chris P.S. I never use a Pop Screen. Like using/not using headphones... I agree with Bob Olhsson on those two things! |
