Thanks for the feedback, guys!
How critical is it to have a calibration file for the particular mic? The mic I am looking at is this one:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RTAM/
I have heard multiple first hand reports that it is much nicer than the ECM8000. I am only going to get it if its a good enough discount, otherwise Ill just order an ECM8000. One person told me this mic would be flat enough not to bother with needing a calibration file at all.
When I use the RS meter to set my 75dB level, I just hook it directly into the soundcard, not through the mixer, correct?
Thanks
