4. Using the Microphone
To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source or even
move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at
which walls face the sound source can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has
been achieved, should you start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all (remember:
less is often more!).
Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high sonic resolution of your C-1U, there
is no need for high-frequency “EQing” that can heavily influence the signal and unnecessarily
increase the noise level. The C-1U provides that much-desired transparency which often gets
lost during recording and mixing.
