The NT1-A mic is a crappy piece of gear and i am not surprised you get a bad sound from it. Just the facts of life. It is a cheap,mic aimed at ... no one really who want to achieve great recordings. It distorts really easy and the high is harsh and mids just bad. Try another mic and see what happens.
We use our Apollo Duo MK2 everyday as a monitor controller for our Apollo cards and will be used with our new Apollo X8P as soon as Mac Pro Trashcans are suported from UA. The Apollo Duo MK2 is awesome and should not sound like your experience even with a NT1-A. I found a Röde mic same as yours in the closet here and did a good recording test and even though your isssue is intermittent the NT1-A thru a External real Neve 1073 and into a real Hardware LA2-A and that mic is a sad sad thing. Even though the recorded vocals sound OK, the next recording with the same chain except with a Manley Reference Gold was from outer space compared to the Röde Mic. Dunno what to say more than if you want to get the Apollo Duo xperience full on you need to get better mics.

![]() Brandon: I can't read the last dropbox post, but I doubt it will help, I doubt any transfer function would help, ... but I was more curious why you had the HPF engaged... its a digital processor on the Apollo interfaces and not a true analog HPF (which I'd prefer) and I was wondering if you had it engaged for a reason or fi it was not engaged then something else would be wrong.

Regarding the LPF, sorry Im doing a million things and mis-read / spoke. the HPF was engaged just for low end attenuation. |

the REW shows THD less than 0.012% and the freq/phase graph show things fine too (other than the Apollo inputs are never perfectly linear). There's nothing showing wrong with the Apollo.

HPF/LPF sigh, you can tell I need caffeine (I edited my post). I'm not sure you'll get any more insight here. The Apollo converters are well regarded, and I think lots of folks will point to the NT1-A mic as a suspect. Even if you've tested with other mics maybe there has been multiple things going on from artist technique to maybe a damaged mic etc.
If you get this to happen again badly with a setup then it would be great to grab a recording of the dry input. And other clues of problems like hum pickup, decreasing apparent sensitivity etc. might be helpful to note. |

I've got a Lauten LA320 which i know is still not considered high end (but it should be better than the NT1..) but it felt more susceptible to that grit / dirt and I chalked it up to its tube-ness coupled with potential Apollo issues (which appear to not be there after today's investigating). |
