Just recieved my Oktavamod MK319 FD PEO

Well, there's no way I'm gonna record my shitty voice and put it on the internet... :lol:
...But vocal sessions are planned next week... So I'll post something then...
 
Don't be so hard on yourself bro, that sounds nice! The guitar doesn't sustain much, but I'm guessing that's because of strings, etc.

Also, surprisingly, it sounds nice on the cab!

Damn! Very impressive. Sounded like you were sitting next to me on the acoustic track! Maybe a touch heavy on the proximity effect, though.. That's more placement than anything. Try moving the mic closer up to the 12th fret aimed at the soundhole.... and buy some new strings!!!


Cab track: Again, damn impressive!

Did you buy the mic yourself & have Mr. Joly mod it? Or did you buy a modded one from him directly?


Thanks,
-0z-

BTW, One of the best tests you can do for a microphone is jangle some keys on a ring in front of it. There's tons of hi-end tranisents & can sound utterly horrendous on a lesser mic. Try that & put up a file! :)
 
Thanks guys.
Yes, this was just quick bedroom setup.
I bought the mic already modded directly from Oktava Europe.
It was the cheapest way to buy it for me.
I can't wait to record vocals now. It's definitely a step ahead of the usual cheap LDC.

My keys.... (Car + House + Mail box ) :lol:

...Plus a pair of cardioid small diaphragm capsule...:)
 
Mm, I like it a lot. I'm probably getting my MK-319 modded too when I've got a bigger arsenal of mics. Just recorded some drums and used the Oktava as the room mic, I compressed it to hell and got a really nice grunty and meaty sound. Almost makes me want to turn the overheads completely down for some pumping lo-fi goodness :lol:
 
I planned to buy an MK-319 but it's finished and it will arrive in some weeks. I end up buying a Superlux tube condenser mic because I can't wait (great mics too in my opinion)
