soundcloud.com/shannon-rhoades/sets/micrehabcclick on the link to get to the page where you can switch between them...I don't know if I really hear much of a difference between models - which is kind of the reason I haven't tried it...BUT, I think the mic sounds better after the mod in every incarnation. https%3A//soundcloud.com/shannon-rhoades/sets/micrehabc

Thought I would let RGO hear the first release ones, the mod makes a bigger diffirence than I though. I still have other things that I have not yet implemented yet. but it’s a start.

Not to rain on the parade but as the stock mike is supposed to be the basis of running the slate emulations: why the mod ?
To use the mike stand alone ?

Tricky. If the mod is expensive, the buyer might as well grab a real mic instead.
But if you can make a $200-$300 mod that really improves the thing, then there's 1000's of these out there. You could retire early.

Bit , I responded to peoples inquiries of same problem that most other Mic have. I also kept response flat and made the stock Mic sound better as a stand alone Mic. Then when all said and done the differendt Mics applied we’re. Exponentially better |

I am not against the idea if you have this system : why not have a better sounding mike ?

Awesome!
Are there any limits to what you are capable of Shannon?
Cheers

I'm certain the mod is excellent.
But I still struggle to understand why someone wouldn't just use a real mic.
To my ear, a Beyer M88 dynamic beats out any of these modelling mics.

I definitely get it...but take a situation like my own. I can’t afford a 47, 251 and 67...I’ve got to pick one. So I went for (for all intents and purposes) a 251. Sounds freaking great on me and most people. But there’s one girl that it just sounds like ass on. And it happens to be the girls I record most often. So - if I could have one great mic and one like this that could be a utility/jack-of-all-trades mic, it would be fantastic. But it still bothers me that you have to record it through the mic pre. |

But wouldn't that make the "models" be off? Whatever. Ive been a skeptic about this whole concept from the beginning, have gone around and around with Steven a couple of times, I tend to look at the whole thing with a somewhat jaundiced eye. But if Shannon makes the mic itself into a desirable piece of gear that's interesting. I wonder if Steven would sell it without the software?    |

The way I kind’ve look at it, it’s a mic that can have different colors via the slate process. Who cares what they’re labeled.

I have to give SLATE credit, back when this project came around Slate was doing the samples of Blackbirds Drum collection . long story hopefully very short ......... John Mcbride had spoken to Slate about Modeling the "GOLDEN MICS" referred to as the ones that have majic Unicorn Piss dna, , Or Martina's 251. No matter
John has collect some of the best sounding mics in the world. that truly locked away. I know I and very few people have had a chance to use them . Nikko bolas was one and Al S on the WEST Coast small list. But i was worried what if the translation would never never do the justice.. it would tarnish the whole life of work
Now on the other hand the icons of 47- 67-251-800.......those not all get to hear or even use in a life and some of use cant even eat if we havent heard atleaset 3 vintage mics before lunchtime we got into withdrawals of bleeding ears and sick because that is life to us.. So i had concerns about how they would sound,..... that system did the best it could to emulate those mics and did good job. and what a job to take on. i did want to tarnish anything he had done but faced with chance i could help the the results were honestly were great . the things i was asked to help out and they really do sound like what they are supposed and we all know not 2 vintage sound the same . but the traits are there, the mod makes them even more real, or as real without being real or whatever lol...........
