However, I wish the RE 27 had been used because I believe it to be "hotter" that the RE 20, in some respects. Let's have some more shootouts including the SM 7B.

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:03:32 +0000 http://www.homestudioguru.com/?p=2298#comment-4290 It all depends on your own ear, folks. Beauty is in the "ear" of the beholder, so to speak. To me, the second mic, the U 87, is a little hotter on the upper end, but the Audio-Technica could be made to sound the same with just a tiny bit of EQ. Certainly not two grand's difference. I love your Mic shoot-outs, Big Al. Keep up the good work.

I use it with Logic Pro and it works great. The Impact Twin comes with a software interface called TC Near Control Panel. You can keep it open (as another program) while you're in Garageband to change settings, though some settings are adjustable from the front panel of the Impact Twin. Good luck with your purchase.
