I shot a "short" comparison between the darker type of microphones from my locker. The mighty Coles 4038 Ribbon Mic, the Warm Audio WA47jr. large diaphragm condenser microphone and the Oktava MK 012 small diaphragm condenser microphone.
All mics go directly into my X32 Behringer desk with very clean preamps to Apple Logic X with some processing. All Overhead-Mics run through a Waves BSS DPR 402 compressor to tame the snare and bass drum a bit, and through the IK Multimedia T-Racks Neve 1073 Plug-in to add some color. Summed with some parallel compression into another 1073 and a Tape-Maschine plug-in.
Drums are my trusty Ludwig Classic Maple in 24,13,16 and my Zildjian Cymbal Setup.
The Room i recorded in is a basement with stone walls and some minimal treatment at the walls, no treatment at the ceiling.
This should not be a better or worser comparison, all mics have their duty and serve very well in my ears.
I think the difference between ribbon - figure eight, and the cardoid condenser microphones with a large and a small diaphragm should be noticeable.
Let me know what is your favourite mic and fell free to ask and comment, hope you enjoy.
