Aaron Allen sent me some miscellaneous PARIS related files that I've posted
on the web at www.mercysakes.com/paris. Thanks Aaron! I've also added a few
more tid bits I found hiding on my various hard drives. All this stuff has
been around the group over the years, but not available for download in one
place as far as I know. There's not a lot there yet, but feel free to check
it out and see if you find anything of interest.
Again, anyone who has any files they'd like to make available for download
on the web is welcome to send me the files (or a disc if the files are too
large to email) and I'll post them up for everyone to feast on.
I've been talking with Morgan from East Coast Music Mall and soon we'll have
a cool little challenge put together. The challenge files will be posted for

The harmonies from "because" off Abbey Road sound like what you are describing.
Too bad this mic has only one pattern.

I will be sending you some mic comparison files soon. They will be
comparisons of different mics. The first batch will be reamped audio of a
short sample of a Dixie Chicks song recorded 24/ 44.1 through Mytek A/D
converters. the first will be the original audio to be used as a control.
Next will be the reamped files using the following mics through a Great
River MP2-MH.
1. Rode Classic (original version-not Classic II)
2. Rode NTK
3. Rode NTV
4. Rode NT 1000
5. Mojave Audio (Mic #1-handmade by Mike Claytor - my *go to vocal mic for
years*)
6. Mojave Audio (Mic #2-also handmade by Mike Clayter-a little darker
color-probably due to the painted grille)
7. AT 4050
8. Studio Projects C1
9. Neumann U87
10. SE Gemini (Groove Tubes 12AX7 and 12AU7)
11. SE Gemini (Groove Tubes 12AX7M<the Mullard copy> and 12AU7)
12. SE Gemini (SE Electronics stock tubes)
13. SE Titan (Standard voicing)
14. SE Titan (currently a beta mic with different voicing)
The next batch of files will be a mic shootout I did here weekend before
last with a great flatpicker on a Collings guitar. We were demoing certain
mics to determine which mics or combinations of mics to use for a tracking
session. The mics and preamps are as follows:
Pair of AKG C460B's (Forssell JMP preamps.)
Pair of Neumann KM 184's (Forssell JMP preamps)
Pair of SE Electronics SE3's (Forssell JMP preamps)
AT 4050 (Sytek preamp)
Neumann U87 (Sytek preamp)
SE Titan stock voicing (Sytek preamp)
SE Titan beta voicing (Sytek preamp)
Mojave Audio (Great River MP2-MH preamp)
SE Gemini (with Groove Tubes 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes (Great River MP2-MH
preamp)
I'm going to try to get this finished up tonight and will contact you as
soon as I've got the MP3's edited and ready.
I've been very impressed with these SE mics and I guess I have to put up a
disclaimer here that I don't have any kind of *deal* going with these guys.
Morgan sent me a Gemini and a Titan a while back to demo and I liked them so
much that I got curious about these so he sent me more. I'm just enjoying
having a bunch of these mics here to compare to the mics in my cabinet, and
to use on ongoing projects.
Y'all stay tuned.
