Here’s a quick sample of a variety of microphones recorded to Pro Tools 10 with an RME UFX via a single Awesome Channel Amplifier. The EQ on the amp was engaged, in “back” mode but flat. With the exception of some of the dynamics (the 121 in particular) all the mics were recorded at the same input gain setting, at 6 O’Clock.
No compression, EQ or additional processing of any kind is present on these recordings. Just the mic plugged into the Awesome and a faders up bounce to disc.
