I worked for Brauner development. You can't replace a Neumann, Brauner,
Schoeps etc. by a cheap microphone and an EQ. get a Haun capsule or
similar and build a less expensive microphone yourself. I don't have a
good microphone myself. Regarding to the music and recordings you do,
you don't need a good microphone, but as soon as you'll record more than
just your Rock'n'roll vocals by Shure classic sound you need a good =
expensive microphone. An EQ only can readjust what is existing, but just
is too silent or too loud. You can't readjust response characteristic,
directional characteristic, missing frequencies.
