Does anyone know anyone that does mic mods? (besides the Royers and other very well known, very expensive folk)
Thanks

What microphone do you want to modify and what are you trying to achieve? It ain't an easy thing to do--other than switching out tubes--which is why it is so expensive.

This guy does. He's pretty booked. So it may take a while.

TOP PRO TIP

Save money on mic mods simply by purchasing the correct mic in the first place.

This top pro tip was brought to you by The Keystore, Portgordon - your local convenience store.

Yeah, but it so much more gratifying to create a tool that sounds as good as perhaps a $3,000 mic for only hundreds....at least in your own mind.

Does anyone REALLY think that a cheap microphone can sound like an expensive microphone for a few extra bucks? If so, I would love to talk about some land in Florida with you...

like many journeys, the distance to greatness depends upon the point at which one starts.

I think it's fun to play with. You can get an Apex or MXL mic for $150 (or less) - tinker with it a bit - get a Neumann U87/U67 capsule for $150 - $200 and not only have a great mic - but a nice project as well.

I bought a MXL tube mic for less than $300 - and it sounded ok - I replaced the tube and it sounded far better than ok. Somewhere in this forum there is a side-by-side test.

I guess it's just what you're in to.

I'd ask that same question at studioforums.com - Jowillie posted the link above. You'll probably get 100 answers.
