are we all pretty much doing the Usual Cardioid Thing here, or is having a ribbon (or something-else) on hand, aside from a short-shotgun thing, all that is really ever wanted...? _________________ SoundscenesDC, main talent and production offices just 385k km up the gravity well in LuNoHoCo Center, old satellite studios still bookable at the future site of Johnson City! |

I would love to have a buttery old ribbon mic like the RCAs I used in my early radio days, but I have no idea what I’d use it for today. I’m stuck in a rut using the shotgun 90% of the time and a CAD when I think I need something different. Not exciting but at least I’m not having to add mic choice to my list of concerns.
