The Ride

Diana

I recorded a track using 3 different compression drivers as talkboxes to see which performed better. I used the same synth (microkorg with custom patch), mic and amp for all three, and did not adjust the volume, or any other parameters on any of the gear. I simply performed on one, disconnected it, and moved on to the next.
The Pyle PDS772: Not bad overall. Sounds a little bassy for a talkbox driver, and has a tendency to get a little fuzzy at low and high pitches. (I used this on my "Time machine", and "Until the end of time 2012" tracks).
Electro-voice 1823M: Super clean sound. Sounds good at all pitches. It also seems to compensate when hitting high notes. Almost as if it has a built in compressor/limiter.
Electro-voice 1824M: Also has super clean sound. Also sounds good at all pitches. What seperates it from the 1823M, is that it has superior power. The notes came blasting out of it as if I had turned up the volume on my amp. The 1824M is flawless in every way.
Verdict: The EV1824M is the winner. Despite the 1823M's 100 watts (the 1824M has 65watts), the 1824M, without alteration, had a more powerful presence, without sacrificing clarity.

This is the audio that plays during the war scene of my track "Assimilation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVYv7x5SAXc&feature=share&list=UUvU1tZ1G34KnAA0mrB0H_0w
Hearing it without the video playing makes it trippy to hear. Check it.
