Oh no, I get it! I just meant it's totally possible to sit down with these synths and dig in without the need to ever touch a computer. There is definitely gear out there that requires you to download sounds or install its own app interface or whatever. I'm a fairly technical person and I've never hooked up my Korg digital outs ever.Tom Wanderer wrote: Mon Apr 29, 2024 2:56 pm I'm totally not trying to put features down. I know I kind of sound like a dick saying stuff like "no saving settings, no computer connectivity" or whatever, but I know the way I work and I know what feeds that and what creates unnecessary barriers. I do not have experience creating music on a computer or with software or a digital interface.
Just a thought - keep that other half to one side because there's a good chance you'll want to upgrade to a full size.Tom Wanderer wrote: Mon Apr 29, 2024 2:56 pm I ended up getting exactly what I was looking for at half of what I expected to spend.

You're getting it. Performance and delivery have always been 10-20x more important than the mediums used to capture it.llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Got a couple of old EV 665 and 658L mics in for cheap and made sure they worked, comparing them to another 635a and a 421. I didn’t have a condenser or ribbon out so I didn’t compare them to one, but I will at some point.
They all sound different and have cool textures, but aside from the omni getting more room, the differences aren’t night and day, and aren’t really great or bad either way.
That seems to be the case w/ any type of mic I sing into, incl. ones that cost 10x as much. Unless I’m battling gain structure or getting popping or bad nasal resonances, I’m learning to pretty much roll with whatever’s in front of me as I get used to recording.
Is this just how it works after a while? Just put something in the right spot and go, change it when there’s a problem, and try not to kick yourself later? I definitely dislike my voice on certain mics but I also keep waiting to fall in love or react to the plain sound of one and it’s not really happening.
I don’t mean that in a negative way, but the stuff I like pretty much all driven by the performance and song and turns out to be less and less about the sound from the mic itself. Just wondering if I’m not listening to the right stuff.
