Wow those pres sound absolutely fantastic. I love my 414s also but oh my does it have it on that chain. What a fantastic recording!....Very impressive tonal color as in none but real air and so so deep and sweet. Absolutely fantastic.

Thank you.

Where are the links?

[@joegridl]

Don't get me wrong please, it's awesome and great work! but I have a problem with the Cajon not being super tight all the time (although played very tasty!) and soundwise the cajon is "in a different room" and for such an acoustic production it sounds a little weird. To close also to the listener. Much closer than the main vocals...

[@DWFearnHazelriggIndustries]

I agree. The Cajon was the weakest part of this production. It was also the first time I recorded a Cajon and due to time constraints, there was not a lot of opportunity to experiment with mic'ing it. Despite that, I still like listening to this track.

[@cidicorp]

I see you’re using the Unity Audio Rocks! How do you like them? Have you compared them to PMCs?

[@DWFearnHazelriggIndustries]

The Unity speakers are very good. I think the PMCs are better in many respects, but I am always amazed at the Rock speakers. An excellent amp design is an important factor, in my opinion.

[@CvHLJC]

Hey Doug! You state the vocal mic is an C414. The mic looks unlike any C414 version I've ever seen, can you elaborate?

[@DWFearnHazelriggIndustries]

Christian -- It is a C414, in an AKG shockmount & windscreen made for the 414. I don't know if AKG still makes that or not. I've had it since the 1980s.

[@CvHLJC]

@@DWFearnHazelriggIndustries Thanks! I thought it might be a screen but there's no version like that available right now.

[@vadimm6506]
