OK, so i picked up this mic awhile back, and it was one of those NIB, closeout kinda deals where it was cheap enough to where i figured: 'WTF, if i don't like it I can always sell it for the same - or if not, only lose maybe a few bucks on it'. Anyway, so i try it out on my own voice just for a test & I'm more or less not all that impressed, but it didn't totally suck either - so i stick it back in the box & never use it for perhaps a year, thinking at some point it might find a home on the right track somewhere. I have plenty of other mics, and the meanwhile since, I've never found the occasion to pull it out. Fast-forward to a session I'm working on right now, and I've recorded these guys before, and they're a nu-metal/industrial-metal-ish type band, and the singer alternates between actual singing & cookie monster vocals in most of their songs.
Vantec Nexstar Driver. The first time i worked with them, we used the Soundelux E251c on the singing parts, and a Mojave MA-200 on the cookie monster stuff. Worked out great that way, actually.
And it wasn't that i didn't want him to growl into one of my more expensive mics, it's just that the 251c didn't really come across as well as the Mojave did with those type of vocal tracks. These guys are all about doing whatever sounds best, so they're a pleasure to work with in that regard, and the singer had no problem with the idea or execution of doing different parts at different times into different mics.

This time, I thought I'd see about trying something different, letting the singer do a take all the way through on the same mic, just to see if it affected the vibe of the vocals in a positive way. So which mic to try? I already knew that the 251c, which complemented his voice on the singing parts, but not on the cookie monster stuff, wasn't going to be it. We had already tried several other mics on him before, and they didn't sound as good on him for the singing parts, but one mic we hadn't tried was the GT-66, because i didn't even yet have it the last time i worked with them.
