whose kidding who if you have one of these your lucky it
is used for certain on acoustic guitars and excels over my newmann 83i
or the 84s ! it should be used in conjunction with a smaller cond . in a
stereo pattern. this mic in the 12 fret position and the smaller mic
needs to stay far enough away to not phase but find the body-tone from
the guitar its sensitive to breathing (from the nose ) if your
guitarists has that element while recording. i find the akg 480 a
excellent companion in this set up for finger style guitar not
recommended with a vocals in the room while the guitars is being micd
with the 4033 . for vocals its really nice for female voice were there
is intimacy needed.or were the vocalists comes really close to the mic
it doesn't reach down the throat or get out of hand with proximity
effect just reminds interment remember its fixed charged! and the best
fixed charged mic on the planted rumour has it Dylan uses this on his
voice.

I have been recording and producing for 15 years. I use
many Daw and plugin programs such as Sonar, protools, acid, reaon, giga,
waves, steinberg and universal audio. My mic collection consists of a
Gefell M92, Neumann u-87, tlm 103, AKG c414 uls, and some others running
though an Avalon VT737sp monitoring through Swedish Dynaudio BM5's and
BM 6's.

This is one of those love it hate it mics, and there are
possibly a few reasons for this, not the least of which is
indiscriminate ears and cheap monitors, however, I believe that one
reason is that this mic is very sensetive to different preamp types and
models. the Avalon, while colored, has a very smooth creamy tone, and it
works well with this mic, and as long as the preamp you are using is not
overly flat or forward, the AT4033 will excel. I noticed one review
lauding the at4050 over the 4033, this is surprising to me, as I do mic
shootouts involving those in my collection as well as trials from the
local music store regularly, and the 4050 is almost last every time. In
fact, the few who describe the 4033 as honky and harsh are really
decribing how I hear the 4050 (but perhaps I tried a bad 4050). There is
a reason why many, many engineers complained bitterly when AT tried to
replace this mic, and that's because it simply sounds good. Not on
everything, but what mic does? This mic is full, rich, smooth, and
forward (I thinks that it is the "forward" quality that some preamps
tend to accentuate.) It is also one of the few mics which add a real
"dimensional" quality to a lot of sources. If you are looking for your
first "do all" mic for your project studio, pehaps a Rode NT2a might be
a better swiss army knife, but if you have a couple of good mics and
just want another tonal color, the 4033 is it! This is also a great
"contrast" mic. In other words, recording lead vox on one mic, and
backups on the 4033, or vice versa. For 300 or 400 dollars, you can't
lose.

Project studio owner with picky tastes I don't have a ton
of money to buy junk, so if I own it, it has to fulfill the muti purpose
task and do it with aplomb. been recording since 77 got my 1st daw (
midi only ) about 16 years ago. I only have used mac's and I'm now
running a G5 and all motu stuff, Its my 3rd complete set up,master with
Bais Peak and waves. own 8 condensers and the 4033 I've had for 10 or 12
years (can't remember when actually, along time ago). I was at sam ash
in edison when this first came in and they were plugging it in to a
Aphex preamp, I was there to buy an RE 20 and I bought this with the
preamp instead. was blown away then and I still am now. I used it today
to record acoustic guitar 12" off the bridge. I'm listening through a
set of Event BAS 20/20 monitors and a second set of JBL studio monitors
from circa 77, sorry don't know the numbers the woofer is a K 140
though, run through a qsc USA 900 amp.

I love this mic, and quite frankly I use it on all sorts
of stuff. I'm mostly impressed with it when I run it through my Aphex
tubessence for (get this) vocals. Yes you heard right, It produces a
wonderful chest and a clear upper nasel and as far as the other
reviewers here I can hardly ever claim that I hear graininess. Maybe the
tubessence has something to do with it. I keep it 10" off to the upper
nasel, behind a popper stopper, other than that I also love it on Djembe
about 12" off the top, used it very successfully on tympani, hand
percussion, accordian, and as a room mic for drum kits.
Now the pit falls, sorry not for the woman folk, I've got a KSM 32 that
is far better for them, also not for very close micing vox ether , even
my vox likes it better a bit away, I find its loves midrangy Q say 600
to 1500hz, I also feel that for the money its way better than just about
any ( even more expensive ) chinese mic's. I say this with impunity due
to the 2 doz I've had in the studio and returned over the last two
years. As forrest said ,"cheap is as cheap does " and thats all I've got
to say about that.
Buy the way the next bargain mic I bought was a Rode K2, yes its more
expensive but worth every cent,and do pick up a grace preamp its a great
combo, thanks for listening,Peace.
