VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Hi Everyone!

I'm trying to decide on which mic sounds best with my voice, for what style of read, whether I should sell any of them, the usual song and dance, and I'd love your feedback! There are 6 reads:

1. 416 (hang ten distance)
2. 416 close (closed fist distance)
3. Nt1
4. Nt1 Close
5. Blue Mouse
6. Blue Mouse Close

Interface is the Audient ID4

I'd also love feedback from folks who've used the Blue Mouse. It sounds pleasant to me, but I definitely haven't found the sweet spot. Viusally, the wave form seems more prone to plosives, but I can't actually hear it. If you're interested, here's the same read with two more positions (capsule up towards ceiling, and down towards my chest.)

Thank you all for your time and feedback!

I liked the 416...to me, a little better at the "fist" distance, at least for the copy you were using.

+1 to what Alan wrote.

No.2 stood out to me on the iPad. Might be different on good monitor speakers. (Even with good monitors no.2 is my choice)

Not to confuse you any more than you are at the moment, Bock Audio brought out the 195 again Smile

In any case they all sounded pretty good to me!

Thank you, gentlemen!

I saw that, Scott! Yet another mic to try. Wink

At least they're all usable!

All sound great. The 416 was the best. The Rode was a little bass-heavy. I'm finding I need to be at least 8-12 inches away when working mine.

Yes, 416 especially in the closer position.

Thank you, Jackson! I learned that technique from Scott Burns during our Seattle workout group. It's really great for those Intimate internal monologues.

Thanks again everyone who offered their thoughts. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
