Adam Fancey home recording 4 part harmony. Testing out Behringer B2 Pro Condensor Mic - Video
PUBLISHED: Feb 03, 2014
DESCRIPTION: Bought this mic from Musiciansfriend.com last month and finally tried it out. I state in the video it's around 6700 Hz range that it was out of balance. It's actually about 1300 HZ that I had to bring down -3dB and the treble -1 to balance it out. I got this mic to use just the body for a DIY mod project, but trying the mic out first it's a great mic for the home enthusiast and would be great for a demo cd. You really gotta get some soundproofing going on cause this mic is 4 times more sensitive then my Shure Beta 57A, it's no comparison and well done for Behringer. I'll still probably mod it but I think I'll get a 2nd one to throw up against it in 6 months when I expect to have this project done.
I've been on the search for a good mic for a country type of singer who's tone is more in the baritone range. Most demos on mic are showing females singing or opera/broadway singers. So hopefully this helps someone else out who's chasing the same sound as I am. The recording program I'm using is Cool Edit Pro (1.0), a program about 15 years old, depending on your sound card, I'm sure you can multitrack but it'll be awhile before I do so. The Mackie board is probably 1/4 of the hiss you hear, the rest of the background noise is the fans off the 2 laptops sitting right in front of me.
No copyright infringement intended doing this tune, and no disrespect to Open Road Recordings or to The Road Hammers. They're one heck of a rocking country band from up in Canada and I hope to hear a lot more from those guys! If you have any questions about my setup in the video, please feel free to write. Cheers
