Using the microphone

To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the
sound source or even move the microphone around in the recording
room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound
source can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has
been achieved, should you start to use equalizers and signal proces-
sors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!).
Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high sonic
resolution of your C-1U, there is no need for high-frequency "EQing"
that can heavily influence the signal and unnecessarily increase the
noise level. The C-1U provides that much-desired transparency which
often gets lost during recording and mixing.
