I got to cut an up and coming Female R&B singer this week. Holy lord can she sing and conjure emotions on command. The producer and I were shaping each line. "Start reserved, then get mad on the word 'soul', then just finish sad" would be a recollection of how we were coaching the lines. (The producer wrote the song and though I'm into natural performances, I have to say I agreed that this was a song that called for that perfect finesse of each phrase).
Anyway, the CS-1 was FLAWLESS. Open, warm, just so pretty. The song has two different 'characters', a low smokey voiced one and a all out 'Beyonce' type. The CS-1 just eats it up and gives you ...oh Larry Silverman, it just dawned on me. Your 'Perfect Lens' theory. It is that, but it just holds the performance on a silver platter. Fun mic. Especially with talent of that caliber!
