dynamic mics are ment for live
Listen, NEVER worry about what something is "meant" for. I use the de-esser in pro tools for something it is NOT intended for. Don't even trip off what it is cause I'm not gonna tell you, but the bottom line is if something captures the feel or sound that you want you should use it. Also, YOUNG MOE uses a 58 runs it into an aphex mic pre amp. Go listen to his music and after you do so get back at me and tell me if dynamics are only meant for live.

but hearing the sound better will help me preperly mix it better
No, getting in a good room, using good monitors and having them placed well will allow you to hear the sound better. Like I previously said, the soundcard does not matter because the device is not going through the sound card. Where the sound card WILL matter is when you mix and use plugins (hardware/software latency) or if you choose to clock to another source.

My guess is this is some type of low frequency roll off in the 70 to 100hz area. I have no experience with software pre amps and what you're using, so I'm simply guessing.

For phase hit this link:

look up phase invert also (should be on teh same page.)

yeah, When it comes to rap vocals, ain't nuthin' wrong with an SM-58 and a decent pre-amp.

RZA used an SM-57 for most of the early Wu shit, including the entire "Enter the 36 Chambers" LP. That's just one example of many well-known classics that were recorded with a 57 or 58..

Can you tell us....or is it TOP SECRET? If I had to guess I would say Hi-Hats.
Did I win:)
Naw, its not top secret, I just don't like sharing my own techniques, but I'll share this one lol. Ok, you know the telephone or speaker effect that a lot of people like? You can get that effect with a de-esser (I like to use the pro tools one) without the use of another eq, and you can get it in seconds instead of trying to find which frequencies to cut and boost if you would use an EQ to get the same thing.


Put the de-esser on the track. Click on the KEY LISTEN button. Adjust to taste (just move the slider) and thank me later. Thats ONE of the different uses that I've been able to pull off with that plugin alone.

That actually worked pretty good, I just tried it.

Thanks!
