Description

A freshly re-strung Taylor guitar, recorded through an Apogee AD16X, lightpiped into a Fireface 800, into Samplitude Pro.

There is no processing on the SM81, but the CS-47Y was slightly compressed by a FATSO on the way in. The CS-47 is panned mostly left and the SM81 is panned mostly right. I also made the SM81 side a little louder than the CS-47 to sparkle it up a bit. The purpose of the CS-47 was to add a little warmth and body to the brighter SM81.

Note: this is not meant to be a "shootout" between these two mics as they are in completely different positions with different signal chains.  The purpose is to show how the two mics come together.

  • The CS-1 thru the vipre seems to do a good job of giving the guitar body, without being TOO boomy. Most mics have a hard time pulling that off. Nice job.

  • Different mic and different pre? Too many variables to leave any meaningful comparison I'm afraid.

  • This recording is not comparing the CS-47 to the SM81. It's demonstating how the two mics sound together as a pair.
