“The top end is bright and not hyped, and it's open and airy, the way you want, especially for modern R&B, you want that top end on there, but for things I would usually do for an R&B or a pop record, like boosting EQ to brighten it up -- I don't need to do that with the TF11. It just sounds that way right out of the box, which makes the whole process easier for tracking, and then of course, all the way through mixing. I'm having to work less to get the right sound.”
