I prefer Mr. Reality... but Mr. Sunshine has a very nice sarcastic ring to it.
I know stuff can be tough to hear sometimes but is it really better for someone to live in a fantasy thinking they just need to find that one magic mic or does it make more sense to to take on the actual issues and maybe make real improvements?
How many people here do you think have bought an SM7b or an even far more expensive mic hoping for it to fix either poor singing or a lack of understanding of recording basics or both when instead learning how to properly make use of a cheap but decent mic would have gotten them a hell of a lot further in making a good sounding recording?
The OP here has a very nice OC818, a $1200 condenser mic that in no way should be blamed for bad sound, likewise all the other mics in the OP's mic locker are capable of very good sound if employed properly.
Gear can certainly matter a bit once one has all the basics down solid but many are a long way away from a "better" or a"different" microphone, or micpreamp, or whatever piece of gear making a better recording for them and oddly that's almost always the answer people offer here.
I'm just saying here... If I was trying to fix the engine in my car and failing at it would you suggest that I buy "better" wrenches if the ones I were using were perfectly capable of doing the job???
