New AKG C414B-XLS/ST Microphones - Stereo Matched pair
Objective ; capture solo Bach movement for Violin.
Here's a quickie ; no setup care taken, no shock mounts... no tuning, no
shoulder pad... it's 1 am but never mind ;
I need just a quick whizz through
some Bach to see how my new Mics. sound.
I added a touch of reverb in Goldwave, and took away a touch of 15k in the equaliser in Goldwave. Result ; not bad for
a quick test !

| This is a quick trial.. no time spent. Very transparent E sound I think ! Warm mids, and some bass, finally ! |

| This is an Omni-Directional setting ; interface Fireface 800 ; No reverb nor editing ; raw mp3 download |
