Neumann vs sE electronics: Is it worth the price? Large diaphragm condenser shootout
I have a Neumann microphone. I also have another one. So I put them both to the test to see how they fare against one another.

    • @uselesstunes3888
      @uselesstunes3888 Před 4 měsíci

      There are many ways to answer this. I really think the instrument is quite interesting because in a way the person playing it is more connected to it than a drummer would be to their kit. Changing a snare drum's pitch as you play really isn't a thing. Also as small as this channel is, it is giving the instrument a platform and maybe some people have learned about it that way. At least that was the intention, to introduce it to people that may be unaware of it. But personally, I don't listen to almost any of the music in which it is involved. I appreciate the Bodhran in a less direct way and hope to share that appreciation with others. Hope that serves as a daring answer.

  • @LucifdeLuther
    @LucifdeLuther Před 4 měsíci

    Basically EQ of lead channel is similar to rectifier in modern mode. Just misleading naming unlike ENGL E430 Tube Toner preamp. Lo mid is just usual middle, Hi mid is usual treble while treble is preamp presence (Hi cut) as in rectos or E430.

  • @okay1904
    @okay1904 Před 8 měsíci

    I preferred Microphone A, during the "blind listening" portion I felt that Microphone A was "smoother". Microphone 1 had a bit of a bump up in high frequencies., i.e gritty, it was ever so slight in the audio. By the time the microphones were revealed, it was a relief, I had guessed right. There is a tell tale sign for the more capable microphones, a smoothness, which I have begin to hear, in all of the highly revered microphones. But its not only expensive microphones which have this. Some cheaper budget microphones, such as the MXL 990, also have this smoothness - an evenness across the frequency spectrum, and an increased resolution. I think the head basket design, may be a part of this improvement.

  • @yantz8281

    Man I need a secondary guitar with P90s. I freaking LOVE early Black Sabbath tone. Say what you will but those early Iommi riffs were as heavy as anything with taste....although to the bands credit, Black Sabbath's rhythm section made those guitar riffs sound so much fuller.

  • @rangersmith4652
    @rangersmith4652 Před 9 měsíci

    Almost nobody can hear the difference between the Neumann and the sE. Most listening gets done on crappy PC speakers or on a smartphone, so it makes littler difference at the listening end anyway. Unless you're selling your voice for a living, even the sE is probably more mic than you need.

  • @ClementBaudoin
    @ClementBaudoin Před rokem

    Oh yeah, I was worried at first because I saw these foams and was ready to buy them, and you talked about the fact that they aren’t any good for sound dumpling, but then you say that they are great for echo and reverberation cancellation and sound uniformity, which is indeed what I search these foams for. So yeah, let’s go buy those things. Thanks for the clarification !

    I will not ignore the importance of good mics, but even SM58's are being used in studio's to record vocals. David Bowie maybe...? So who cares at the end. If the recording is good, it's good. No matter what mic was used. It's a misunderstanding that whatever equipment will guarantee you whatever result. I think the differences between the SE and the Neumann are not of that kind that it would matter. For your wallet it would matter...

  • @Illsamustache
    @Illsamustache Před rokem

    The standard P-90 has more presence. Hum cancelling a P-90 defeats the natural tone and makes it sound muffled. Also, P-90’s have a lot more of a mid focused tone than humbuckers do. That’s what makes them so different.

    • @Dr-Curious
      @Dr-Curious Před 8 měsíci

      The silent p90s at the moment just aren't very good. Someone will nail it in the end. Though I have to say, under high gain, a very bright top end can become hashy.
