Chopin Motifs - Omni - S1ex

Posting this via PianoWorld Forum PM also. Focusrite sent me a free plugin from Sonnox called "Soften." It's intended to remove harsh and shrill tones. I think it works very well. Here is the FET file I uploaded a while back with the Soften plugin applied at 50% strength: https://audio.com/mrsh4nkly/audio/chopin-motifs-with-sonnox-soften-plugin

Seiler FET

The Omni had that magical sound, a charisma that involves its deep frequency reach, even with the soundstage not matching the cardioid.

Hi, your 414 Cardioid was a great victory in center; the Omni didn’t capture that. The geometry for the cardioid had the magic sauce. I am hoping you might explore that. The Soyuz’s to me doesn’t have the beauty of the 414’s. I did apply some inverse eq, anti Akg’s builtin presence peak. It has little smoother 3k-7k. I’ll work on the Soyuz tomorrow and get something posted tomorrow afternoon CST.

This is a huge improvement over my omni. As mentioned below, the only thing I don't like about omni is its lack of clarity when recording in my setting. I'm wondering what you think of my FET setup, and whether you can work similar magic with it.

I got an email saying you commented (presumably re: my comment); however, I see nothing, and the link in my email is dead.

Can't reply to your forum PM. Banned until June 10 for replying to a personal attack with the words, "drama queen," and supposed "repeated attacks" of my own. I don't abide people who lack reading comprehension and other fools well. Anyway, this sounds nice. The only thing I don't like about the omni in my home is its imprecision. Made this on Sunday with the Soyuz SU-013 FET cardioids: https://audio.com/mrsh4nkly/audio/chopin-motifs-fet
