Blending Ribbon and Dynamic Microphones

In the field of recording, it's a common practice to blend ribbon and dynamic microphones! Ribbons tend to pick up warmth and depth, while dynamics pick up the brightness and high end details that a ribbon microphone sometimes doesn't cover. Sometimes, the blending of ribbons and dynamics is a match made in heaven! In this video, we listen to a 1960's Turner Model 87 Ribbon Microphone and 1970's Shure SM56 Dynamic Microphone both soloed and combined.

You get some of the most beautiful tones

Super helpful, thanks! Damn do I love ribbons

Do you EQ the audio in your videos or are they raw recordings of the mics?

[@colepicksvintage]

I don’t use EQ for these videos! Sometimes I will use compression if it’s needed, but I try to keep them as clean as possible.

First up, we need some full songs, my man. Always nice melodies on your playing. Second up, I don’t even know what to say about that Matchless.
Third, love hearing all tones of these old mics. Seems like full frequency response capturing is pretty overrated.
