Five large condensers and one ribbon mic on a F 5 style mandolin
Hi picking fellows,
I grabbed in the mic locker of my studio and did some mic shootouts: This time I chose five large condensers (all in cardioid pattern) and one ribbon microphone (figure of eight pattern) to display the different quality they give. I'd like to share it with you. Please tell me what you hear and what you prefer.
