[TheOminouseRecreation]

So i just got a AKG perception 120 for on the road recordings, as i do not wanna take out something like my 420 or 414s but i am not sure if i like the sound of this mic it sounds very gratey specially on vocals i cant decide wether to take it back and get something more reliable like an SE 2000 any ways ive done a cover of cat power and very bad mix on laptop speakers your opinions would help me Swede my fussiness!

Hi,

I have a few of those, solid entry level mics. I think what is most important is the style or type of recording you are trying to accomplish. Some mics are better suited to certain vocalists and not others based on their voice harmonics and mic sound color. Overall, you should be able to capture usable quality recordings. I don't think that when you finally accomplish your record, people will be "OMG, he used an akg!". Just rock the heck out of that Akg.
