New Rode NTG-1, NTG-2 shotgun mic comparison files are up

[Ty Ford]

Bottom line, Ken, Ty was spending his free time trying to let people know about two new shotgun mics, period.

If you can’t decide on your own by how they sound by liistening to the .wav files, you shouldn’t even be on this board.

BTW, If you want to make snarky remarks about me, pick the place and say them to my face.

I do not know Ty personally,
but standing at a distance I can see this flock of vultures waiting to tear into his flesh.
What a waste!

IMHO, Ty posted a link to a simple A/B comparison between microphones.
He stated the amount of gain that needed to be added to make the mics equal in output.
He provided normal use readings, as well as off axis response readings to show noise rejection.
And while I’m not a brain surgeon, I was able to decipher which mic was in channel 1 & 2.

The only problem I see is Ty’s lack of hand holding.
People don’t want to have to decide for themselves what to buy,
they want someone else to do that for them.

What tires should I put on my car?
Should I get a Ferrari 360 with a 6 speed or the F1 tranny?
Which computer platform should I use Mac or PC?
Which microphone should I buy?

Shame on you Ty!
Providing information, and letting people make their own choice.
Shame, shame, shame!

Hmmmm……
I was trying to stay out of this, but….
There are a lot of people here on the Cow who promote their books, websites, DVD’s, what have you. As far as I know, it is not against the rules or even discouraged.
What ARE discouraged are personal attacks and threats. I’m as guilty as the next person of getting a little snippy at times, but this thread has gone way beyond snippy.
I respect both parties involved in this exchange. Matte and Ty are both knowledgeable and helpful guys. We all present ourselves to be professionals here.
Lets close down this thread, act like the pro’s that we are, and move on.
Please?
