Permalink Only ribbon mic for surf tone?!

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Hi all! For last year or so, trying to reach the surf tone at home. And after all the experiments this is finest top so far. Not saying that thats a final destination, but interesting to hear your opinion. I have ended up by using only One vintage ribbon mic and a surfy bear. That simple as it can be. So lets start listening Smile cheers

Yeah, good sound you have there! When I had my ribbon mike brand new, I recorded all instruments for Je T’aime with it. Worked great. I think the 8-pattern adds more air to the sound than a kidney-pattern does at the same distance, in the same room.

You can get the boy out of the Keynes era, but you can’t get the Keynes era out of the boy.

I like ribbons, cuz you can use only one mic and don't worry about blending it with other mics, and you really fast can get a result Smile and as you said, even with close mic position gives a lot of air and space
