I try to post as much as I can here, but
questions come up in other forums and I try not to push other
forums here, but I'll make an exception this one time. These are
some of the other forums I hang out at:
www.prosoundweb.com/
I have my own forum there, and we do a lot of similar microphone
discussions. Here's one such question, and one of the responses it
received:
Post subject: E.V. RE-20 / Sp C-1
Hello ,
We are curently using a SP C-1 and are thinking of adding a E.V.
RE-20 as one has come available to us for a nice price, it would be
used for studio only, Mostly Rock male vocal, would this mic give
us a different color and what other differences could be expected?
if its too close to the C-1 ill take a pass on it..Thank you.

This was one of the responses:
I also like the RE20 for voice over. It has served me well on
some vocal sessions though!
The RE20 is always one of those mics you should have in your
locker.

Gotta love it!!!

I originally ran a forum there, but now I mainly hang out lurking
on Stephen Paul's forum, or co-chairing a forum with Alan Hyatt,
Brent Casey, and Malcolm Toft.
Harmony Central has some good people answering questions there, and
I'll post there from time to time on subjects where I feel I can
help.

I primarily hang out at George Massenburg's forum, and sometimes
it's a fascinating glimpse into the world of high dollar studios,
but it has its share of very useful information and occasional
amazing insights from George himself.
www.gearslutz.com/board/
Gearslutz is another good forum where I mainly just lurk.
In general, I find that any forum that has posts from Fletcher, Bob
Olhsson, or Mixerman is worth while investigating.
And of course, rec.audio.pro is where you'll always find me. For a
recording engineer (at any point in his career), it remains the
single most valuable net resource in the world, IMHO.
The rec.audio.pro CD compilation sets are a great tool for
beginning recordists. You can actually listen to a track from
people like George Massenburg, while you read his notes on the mics
used, placements, and reasons for his choices.
This year, the 5 disc rec.audio.pro CD compilation set has cuts
from Karl Winkler (Neumann), Mixerman, Fletcher, and a host of
r.a.p. regulars, about 100 contributors. The liner notes alone will
run 70 plus pages. One of the great recording bargains of the
century. Almost every genre of music is represented on those
discs.
Anyway, those are the other places I either lurk at, or contribute
to. All of them have some things I find of value.
