The rapper said no difference. 😁 For shouting random words, really who cares. 😃 Jokes aside, great video, thanks. I worked with the 440 pure and it is really great. Now thinking about getting the pure tube, still not sure. 🙂👍

The RODE nt1a is a little bit harsh but the order nt1 is soooo god. If you see it chep used go for them!

The CAD Equitek microphone features a Battery that operates in conjunction with one of its front switches. This particular switch serves as an on-off switch. It is important to note that if left in the "on" position, the Battery will deplete and require replacement. For detailed instructions, a quick online search will yield the manual.

No WarmAudio mics?

Saw Styx recently in Halifax. Great show, however, I felt that the low end was too much of a good thing. Loud, flabby kick drum after the first song. Now Sting and Super Tramp sounded great in the same venue. John Mellencamp had a ridiculous amount of low end happening there, while Cheap Trick, a band I really like, sounded like total crap out front, and we were seated directly behind the foh setup for that show. The above is based on my humble opinion as I'm not a pro live sound person.

Anyone knows what of equipement he using for testing the ears phone?

Been wanting to record my acoustic in stereo, only decent mic i have is a 414 B-ULS. Should i buy another LDC to pair with it, get the V44S, or get a R88? Thanks!

My boy in nashville keeps all his mics in their shockmount and attached to an orbit attachment on the shelves in his glass showcases (used from some jewelry store or something)so that when he grabs one, he just clips it in. Huge time saver even if expensive up front for all the adapters…worth it!

I would sell and get two BAE Neve and Preamps and get two Shellfords if I were you mate. Neve 1073 is clear winner here. But there are even better copies of it like BAE... plus old hardware components will soon die and when you service them they will not sound the same... newer components will change the sound of 1073 cause newer quality components will have less harmonic distortion etc. So sell them while you can at top price mate.

But I want it! 😁 Any special tips for cleaning pop filters? Do you keep a bunch of them on hand to quickly change out for a new vocalist?

Very impressive collection, I'm jealous! But where is the U87 ? Even if it's broken, you need to have one. ;-)

That’s quite the collection!! Could you please tell me how did you manage to attach your RCA mic to what looks like a baby pin of an Impact c-stand?!

I live near Erie Pa, and I want to start working toward making a living recording, and mixing. Just don’t know how to start

I got 64's AT6's and it's the best thing I've ever bought gear wise. They're amazing for playing drums and surprisingly great for tracking and mixing 🤘

I understand this was a blitz but it seems re20's don't get a lot of love. I personally haven't used one but I have friends that swear they are great at kick and other things, Is there an application you think it shines.

ALL YOU NEED IS A 57! :P

I’ve been interested in the Clarion for a while. Anybody have first-hand experience with it and it’s tone. There’s not many reviews/demos online for my taste.

On the equetek there is a battery in it maybe it need to be replaced I have the 3 version and I haven’t used it in many years but I do remember the battery not sure it need to be in even if you are using phantom power or not

PLEEASEE release this song. it slaps soooo hard man

you don't need that many mic...we just live in a society that teaches having more and more....I use martin kantola mics Nu 100 and Nu 47 ... Mojave Ma 1000 and 300 ...thats' it.....i am not buying no more mics....i did peek interest in the lauten you have

😎

im shocked I didn't see a Neumann in this collection. I kind of like that. A ton of different options.

Did I hear him say he "didn't" have a locker? Maybe not a physical locker, however....

Haha, I already bought the Lauten LS-308 and the Mojave MA-D after seeing your videos. This video will be my doom!

What did you mod the at2020 with?

"No flex" - proceeds to show AEA R44 and R88. 😉 Lots of tasty stuff in your "locker" -- The OC818 and the Clarion I have I def use a lot. Love the Clarion on most things but recently bass cabs is my fav. I want that Vanguard V44s.

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you want to be a top level commercial facility that high level producers rent out, it seems like the mic locker needs to be pretty robust. If you’re a home studio and or small commercial studio, a well curated collection of mics is all you need to get the job done well.

The first thing that struck me was that snare tone. It fits the song so well. As for is one better, i think that’s hard to quantify. They’re different and somethings are easier in the studio than at home.

Hey there! I’m having a similar issue with my mic. What ended up being the issue with yours? Thanks!

They sent for about 5K of goods and forgot about it… they must make some decent margins.

Yes, Beyer M160's are the best mics for overheads. (Runner-up is Coles 4038's.) The M160 is also my favorite mic for guitar cabs, and always was, long before Royer made every recording engineer aware of the how good ribbon mics work on guitar cabs. The M160 is a superb all-around mic (excels on violins and horns). The Beyer M88 is another awesome mic, and it did work well for the vocal style on the recording you presented. However, it doesn't have the articulation or depth of a great tube mic and would not be my choice for vocals on 'beautiful' or melodic music. Jeremy, although I'm not a fan of the kind of headbanger music you presented here, still I want to compliment you on your magnificent performances and your mix. Great job! I'd love to hear more from you! Sadly, I could not distinguish one single word of the lyrics, so the song could be about the Irish potato blight or the price of pistachios in Venezuela for all I know. Even the title of the song did not make itself known. But considering your level of professionalism, I gather in that genre of music it is detrimental for the lyrics to be heard and understood?

Check out the KZ ZS10 S Pro - Phenominally good for an insanely low price. If you're on a budget and you're not a pro touring musician these are a great option

Bro!

Wait, did you track the guitar twice to get the sound of both circuits? That part was a tad unclear.

I personally have been rocking FIIO fd-5's for three years now. Now the fiios are not flat. They're not honest. But they are AMAZING at soundstage and how wide they are. They give me a better idea of how my mix sounds to the person wearing more normal "consumer" in ears or headphones. If you want honest, don't buy fiio. Go buy a pair akg k-712 or bayerdynamic dt-990's. But for plain just fun in ears, go check these out. (If you end up picking these up, strongly recommend songs like left and right by charlie puthe, Comfort zone by Taylor Crawford or anything by phoebe bridgers..) did I mention that they are also incredibly detailed in the lows, like actually the tightest low end in any headphones I have ever heard. And the highs are gorgeous without underrepresenting the mids

The last gentleman in the video is just a wealth of wisdom. This was great to watch!

🔊❤️ Cheers from Texas!! I knew you had it in you! And wow!! very amazing track! THAT is a proper mic demo Outstanding! 🤟😺🤟 Listening more. Good timing for my family. No storm can shake us! #JusticeForMica

I like this video because I've just been rocking Shure SE215s for the last 15ish years and they work just fine, but they're not *that* comfy, but not uncomfy enough to warrant spending hundreds of extra doll hairs. I wish there was a way to try stuff out before spending such an exorbitant amount of money and being a drummer I'm already spending that on drumsticks these days 😬 This makes me interested in upgrading to something a little more substantial.

Nice.

Heck yeah!!! More personal projects please. I watch a lot of your videos but this one was special, performance and mic.

Wow! Great song. Great performance. I'll tolerate that shit any day.

Your product reviews are excellent

Using IEMs as a production tool is sooooooo underrated. I currently use campfire audio iems for work, it’s incredible! And as a bonus, music from any source sounds incredible now! And yes, you get what you pay for, but there’s real good stuff at each price point. :)

I feel like I'm doing something wrong because I can't keep them in my ears

I think the conclusion of this video is spot on--knowing what you want is key to getting something you like. As someone who's gone through a few pairs at this point, I feel like I've finally figured out what I want out of in ears. Currently running a 4 driver set of customs that I paid a bit under $900 for. They're "reference monitors" and are incredibly transparent and clear. I swear by them as someone who primarily records and mixes, but performs sometimes. I especially appreciate them for vocal tracking as an engineer, since the space I primarily work out of is only one room and I monitor on headphones. They're also a good check for low end in mixes, and though I could use them for the entire mix I just prefer mixing on monitors. Having said that, there is a downside to a super honest monitor that I've found while performing. In the absence of a dedicated monitor engineer who knows what each performer wants, the mix can sound flat, boring, and uninspiring. To me, that's a reasonable trade-off, since I'd rather hear everything clearly than be able to groove to the low end, but it's something worth considering, especially for vocalists. I can't really speak to the universal fit vs. customs debate, except for saying that I personally prefer the isolation and comfort of customs. However, I have small ear canals (bad for universals) and got good impressions, so my opinion is biased. In my opinion, $1500 for universal fit is a really hard sell. Even $1100 is pushing it for me, but I get it. Great video all together. I really appreciate what you do here.

Once you add a quality wireless or wired unit and the rack mount eq, you should expect to have $5k invested in your monitors per person.

Yes, 100%. Ultimate ears ue 18’s etc can’t be replicated with a $500 set

Sounds amazing. Great tune too. Listen to it all the time.

I just bought this mic from Sweetwater and having a hard time getting a good sound on my acoustic guitar. I’ve spent hours trying to position it all over. Very harsh

I've heard the M160 before and thought it was ok but not great, but hadn't heard the M88 until now and it's going on my wishlist. Sounded so good on the guitar cab.
