Favorite Blue Mics:
Bottle Rocket Stage Two
Full Name: Adam Hirsh
"The Bottle Rocket Stage 2 has incredible clarity in the mid-range while maintaining warmth in the low end. I have opted to use it on vocals many times, leaving a bunch of very expensive vintage microphones in the closet. It's also a great acoustic instrument mic capable of capture air and top end without getting brittle. The ability to swap out the capsules makes it super convenient as well as cost effective. Absolutely a great mic.”

About
“I wrote my first song when I was 7 years old, suffice it to say it sucked but the point is that I’ve been writing music for the better part of three or four decades. Early on, I had classical training, then somewhere along the way I heard Hendrix at which point I decided this music thing might be fun. Nowadays I spend a great deal of time collaborating with filmmakers and so I deal with music as it applies to storytelling. Typically, a composition forms in my head before I even pick up an instrument and often, the center piece of an idea will evolve by experimenting with a sound or a piece of gear in my studio in the initial stages of the process. Although my primary skills as a performer are as a singer and a guitarist, I employ a much more expansive palette for my adventures in film and tv.”
