I had a quick go with this - but this mic seems to have a proximity
effect - with close mic'ing, instead of more detail, it just gets more
bassy and loses a lot of the top. Maybe the mic is broken - it has
been dropped at least once! Maybe it was never up to close mic'ing....
most likely it's just my technique tho!

Yes - thanks for this! There is actually quite a bit of reverb on the
vocal already (calf). Maybe some echo/delay is also needed?
