To show you what this mic can do, I wrote and recorded a song on the spot using only this mic!
I had a lot of fun with this one! Please don’t mind the lyrics, I couldn’t thinking of anything better than “baby don’t go” and “baby oh please don’t go” haha!
I also finally got to use my Brian May guitar on a track!
I love doing these videos because it shows us how versatile this mic is! It’s a fantastic mic, it’s very well built, and at $399.99 I think it’s incredibly well priced.
In this video I used the LCT 441 Flex to record:
• Drums
• Electric Guitar
• Bass
• Acoustic Guitar
• Piano
• Vocals
➡️From lewitt-audio.com
Let us introduce you to the LCT 441 FLEX, our puristic multi-pattern studio microphone. It follows the way paved by the highly acclaimed LCT 440 PURE, putting top-of-the-line technology in a compact housing. Of course, as with any other LEWITT microphone, we had to add that particular twist, … - Well, you know us already. This 1″ true condenser microphone features eight types of directionality to choose from, including three reverse polar patterns that give you higher flexibility and invite to experiment. Comes with shock mount, windscreen, and pop filter.
Use the LCT 441 FLEX to record your vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar amplifiers, drums, percussion, and everything else. Do not hesitate to change your perspective by experimenting with different directivities. Its natural transient response and high dynamic range make sure that nothing will limit your performance on the technical side. Every session with the LCT 441 FLEX will result in vibrant and lively recordings.

Very cool review - as always! Thank you, Warren!
Thank you guys for making good product at normal prices!!
And thank you as well Lewitt! Just found this and am enjoying the first one I ordered immensely!
Great mics, Lewitt.
The Paul McCartney Award for writing and self-recording a blues ditty!
Haha thanks ever so much! To be mentioned even in the same sentence as Sir Paul is an honour!
This is why I love watching your channel. Serious testing, with a bit of humour thrown in. Keep up your marvelous work! :-)
Hi Gary, yes, I can never take myself too seriously! Haha
you prolly dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Kase Benton instablaster =)
@Layton Leo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Layton Leo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
That mic has really surprised me. It definitely sounds and feels like a much more expensive mice. Plus it has it's own personality, which I really like. It's got to be those Lewitt made capsules.
I've been using it on the vocals in my new music videos that I'm putting out on Mondays and I've been really happy with the results. Hope you're well!
Dearest Warren, would you say the 441 flex in cardioid is similar to the 440 pure (cardioid)
I have the same question.
A single versatile Microphone, I'm in for that one, Cheers Warren, and thanks to Lewitt for the chance.
I love how quick you come up with something, to demo these items.
By the way, I Hope those fires are well away from you !
Great mic and versatile. The only thing I didn’t dig was how the snare went “Splat,” probably more of the way it was tuned. Loved the tom sound in the room. Great video Warren!
Sean Guaraldi yes, that’s definitely the sound of my snare detuned!
Pretty "warm" sounding mic I like it. I wonder how it would compare in a shootout with the AT4050 which is priced similarly and has similar features.
monkey dangus yes! Great idea!!
Excellent showcase of the product sir.. in a critical stage to choose a mic for my recordings.. very helpful esp with the Lewitt 441’s.. thank you 🙏🏻
Nice video Warren! I always enjoy your one mic stuff.
Thanks ever so much my friend! You Rock Miguel! I hope you're well!
Hi Warren, I absolutely love it when you make vids like this in addition to full "How to mix" tutorials. Thanx and Cheers.
One of the great things about this mic is that the frequency response doesn't change much in different patterns, so you don't see huge peaks in omni, or figure 8.
Great as always Warren! Have two LCT-440's as well as two LCT-840's... love them... Looking at the frequency response of the 441 it looks like the figure-of-eight has a lift in the 5k area and in cardioid it's more of a lift around 12k - so that probably what you are hearing...
Thanks for the great feedback, Martin!
Hi, which one would you say that there is any sound difference between the 440 and 441 if you keep the 441 on Cardiod?
Hmm I’ve never tried that side by side! So I can’t comment
@@Producelikeapro Thank you I appreciate the reply. I'm an acapella singer and have started mixing multiple single tracks or myself singing different parts for a complete harmony. I also record podcasts and audio books for church. Im using a Yamaha MG10xu as the interface and have a Senn E835. ..Based on your videos I decided the most efficient upgrade path to better sound would be the mic at first. So I'm looking at the lewitt (your videos influenced) or similar as my first condenser that I can grow into.was considering that since I had one mic that maybe the 441 might be more flexible if I have different situations. But as with everything one has to evaluate the cost vs actual benefit. . I also appreciate all your videos. My eyes have been opened to a l lot.
Incredible mic... So versatile! I getting one of those!
Yes Daniel! It's a fantastic microphone! I had a lot of fun with it!
I used to get a pretty good one-mic drum sound by placing a single condenser behind the drummer, snare-side about 6-feet high, pointing down towards the kick drum.
holygoat great! Yes, that works great! I like it behind the shoulder, Bonham style! Nothing beats three mics, but this one mic works great too!
That was a fun video. Two of those mics would be excellent to record my nylon string guitar. Congrats on the new guitar-its a beauty.
LAstudio8 agreed! A stereo pair would be extremely useful in many situations!
Great sounding mic, someone is going get a nice upgrade/addition to their mic locker! Soon I hope to be able to add a nice $3-400 mic, for now its 57s and an at2035... it gets me by 😬 thanks for helping make my mixes better Warren, You da bess!
Thanks ever so much Loudtim! You Rock my friend! Glad to be able to help!
Great demo Warren, love your blues 'ditty' and love hearing that Brian May!!!!!!!
I have several Lewitts....I'll be getting this one to.......
Marvellous! Thanks Jerry!
I learn very much from you videos ! Thanks !
Cool video mate, from Australia here just wondering whether that was straight mic sounds or if you messed around with eq compression etc
guitarabuser567 marvellous question! I added some 60hz to the drums to bring up the kick! Vocals were flat, guitar was flat and bass had some 80hz added from the RBass by Waves. I hope that helps?
guitarabuser567 PS it was recorded with an Audient iD4
Way cool. New Guitar sounds great 👍🏼
Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, I was very impressed!!
THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS I LIKE!
MORE PLEASE )
Andrey Gaiduk Thanks ever so much! I love doing these videos!!
I know it’s 4 years in, but thank you. I’m thinking of getting a pair of these in the offing to use for recording vocal and acoustic guitar simultaneously using figure-8 for the nice side rejection.
Very cool review and demo. I think it turned out pretty good. Nice shred at the end there too using the Brian May guitar. The biggest surprise for me was when you actually pulled out the manual..wow.. i dont think i've seen you do that before.. Anyway.. Great stuff Warren!
trollstjerne thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, I love the Brian May Red Special!! Wonderful guitar!!
trollstjerne haha and yes, I did have to make sure I understood how it worked by checking out the manual! Haha
I'm looking forward to getting mine!
GaragebandandBeyond that’s fantastic to hear!!
Looking forward to your thoughts on it!
I seen it on your'e Channel already lol
Hey Warren,
I was just wondering how you doubled and panned the electric guitars because they almost disappear to me listening in mono? Mic sounds great though! Keep it up!
Hi Felix, interesting! They don't do that for me?
what a mic warren - those acoustic licks at the beginning just oooozed tone!! I want one! it did not really sound bad on anything.
Many thanks, Dylan! Glad you like it!
Dear Lewitt Team - Thanks for your message - Im sorry that I have only now had the chance to reply, have been on the road touring.
Your welcome to send me a mic to try on some sources and show & tell to fellow engineers and musicians …. Let me know if your interested :)
Ah, the Brian May guitar!! Class. Looks like a great microphone, would love the chance to win it.
Roscoe Macpherson yes! I love the Red Special and the Mic!
Thanks to you, when I hear drumming, I hear "Debbie Boone, Debbie Boone", lol...love it!
I purchased the Hewitt 640 TS on your recommendation. Excellent mic!
Fantastic news Billy!
Have amazing recordings with your LCT 640 TS!
I already have, it's an incredible mic, love it, and highly recommend it!
i want to buy id14 + lct 440. is this nice for vocals?
I used an iD4 to record this!! So yes, I am a fan!
Unbelievably cool, simply awesome Warren. I love the Lewitt microphone and the sound they capture is musical and pleasing. Nice 😎
Thanks ever so much Martin!
Thank you Martin!
Hi Warren, awesome, you did a fantastic job of reviewing this microphone, you are very talented, All the best, Darren Ross.
Darren Ross you are far too kind my friend!
Really cutting a rug on some of those acoustic runs!
Bill Hesse thanks ever so much!!
How well do you think this mic sounds compared to the AKG C414 XLS or XLII?
jdrodi I can neither confirm or deny that I believe this mic sounds so close, and for the price is truly remarkable!
@@Producelikeapro Ba Ha Ha Ha
How do you like the Red Special vs that grey Yamaha guitar? I remember you speaking highly of the Yamaha.
I love them both equally! During the day I spend around 50% of my time on each!
Great video. What kind of post production was done to the tracks, if any, and what was your signal chain?
Julian Holman I used the Audient iD4 and there was some Reverb and delay on the vocal, boost of 60Hz on the drum mic. Not a huge amount of stuff, it was recorded and mixed in about 45 mins
Produce Like A Pro Thank you and wow! I guess that really does show off the quality of the mic and the id4, and of course your room!
like the sounds picked up by the mic. so envious of your red special!
Yes, agreed the Red Special is amazing and the mic is truly wonderful!
Thanks Harmony, glad you like it!
Warren..... I love your drumming !!!!
This aught to be good, Warren! Great Sound, play well too. 😉
I thought you'd add drums, not play them, very cool.
Piano and sings, WOW, your so full of surprises, my friend. 😆
I'm not entering the Giveaway, just checking in... ☺
Shared it on Twitter for you...
Nancy Femmer thanks ever so much for your very kind comment! I’m glad to be able to share what it’s like to actually use the equipment!
I gotta study those variations within that thing. :)
Thanks ever so much Audrey! You Rock!
Warren I luv ur videos and also share ur videos to my friends to see ur great personality
Thank you ever so much my friend!
Produce Like A Pro thanks sir .........
Produce Like A Pro can I win this equipment
I followed your channel from the beginning, and after a couple of years I came back to have fun with recording stuff and obviously the first channel I visited was this one! Compared to the first Warren this guy is more brilliant and less shy on playing instruments or on using humor.
Great review!
Oh god, I have to manage my wife again buying this microphone.. Your fault!
loved that harmonised vocal. sweeet. :)
Aw shucks thanks ever so much!
Warren on drums, yeahh =D awesome.
Do you have any thoughts on meinl cymbal sounds on studio?
it's a nice song!
and I test ready to Mike it's a very good Mike.
avi cohen thanks! Yes, great mic! Glad you like my little ditty!
Thanks! Glad you like our newest creation!
This is so inspiring! Love it!
Czyszy thanks ever so much my friend!!
Then I looked at your drum set. AAHGgggg! ( instant jealousy reaction, ) Warren, explain the history of your drum's 'boy scout' logo. I have always adored that whole series of early sixties (?) shells. Bohnams is more known for his later Ludwig's in the yellow acrylic. What is it about the 'boy scout shield' certain of us really dig?
Jeff Lynne wants his song back!! Hee hee, just teasing. You've inspired me to try and track something with one mic too, thanks!
Whisper Thief wow! That’s very kind of you my friend! Jeff Lynne is incredible!!
I hear a little floyd in the vocal. Me like. great Job Warren :)
Thanks ever so much Tim!! That is very kind of you!
Wow thats a great mic if only i could get one of these baby :D
”Baby don't go...” :) thanks for the review.
Entering the contest now! :)
Haha ah yes, my amazing lyrical content! Hahah
Budgie's version "Baby Please don't go" LoL
Yeah! Great :)
Haha yes, indeed SirEggbertfartalot!
Thanks ever so much Music Nerd Revolution!
very cool ,i want this mic.
sourish mukherjee thanks very much!!
Reverse polar patterns for those of us too lazy to turn the mic around?
Baby don't go, please don't go away,
But if you choose not to stay,
Don't take my axe signed by Brian May.
Hi Adam! The reverse patterns are for putting the mic against a cab, the rear facing the cab. This way you can set the mic anyway you like without turning it around. Great idea! If you want to, take a look at the picture from the Lewitt homepage.
Ah ha! Just when you think there isn't a use for something, you find out there's a use for something.
Adam Fox haha so you love my ‘lyrics’? Hahahaha
Jürgen Schuler yes, indeed!!
Produce Like A Pro Mmmm, they've got potential. 🎙😜
Did you use samples on the drums? Snare in particular? sounds great!
y0 TRMZY great stuff! It’s just a 60hz boost on the drum mic and some compression
Me need one!
Yes! I am impressed, the smoothest top end I've heard on a mic at that price range!
Did anyone notice that the mic was wrong way around in the picture in front of the Marshall?
that's one reason why we added those reverse patterns ;)
Haha luckily we can use both front and back!
Smurf431 ! FYI Eric out the mic back to shoot a photo of it after we finished tracking vocals and made the mistake!
Great mic! Please use some 3-in-one oil on your kick pedal :-D
I'd have liked a bit more on it's ability to handle vocals. I have one of these on order and a tube condensor - both of which are delayed due to Brexit. The Lewitt will arrive this week so I'm wondering if it's good enough for me to cancel the tube which won't be here for another month.
i want this mic because i have no money to purchace a mic
I have a challange for you: choose 3000 USD worth equipment in your studio and record a song (drums, bass, guitars & vocals). Equipment could be: mics, pre amps, compressors (and other outboards) audio interface, d.i. boxes, while all instruments, guitar amps and the console mixer (along with studio monitors, headphones etc) and computer with protools are not included in the 3000 dollars but it would be nice if you don't use all the marvelous features of your mixer (or expencive plug-ins from protools) to "cheat" on the challange as the goal is to focus on how to choose equipment that are versatile. Hope you'll read this comment and make this challange. Have a beautiful day, Alberto.
You are a really good guitarist
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Nick!!
Lewitt 440 or 441flex? For vocals mainly. Male
Just noticed I asked the same question. Have you decided which model to pick up? I know sometimes fixed cardioid versions of mics sound a bit better than the multipattern, but I’m new to this mic company.
@@geoffball9591 did you figure it out yet sir? Looking for the same answer.
@@srbh1233 I picked up 440 and though I thought it was a great great sounding mic with lots of character, I didn’t find it to be that “pure”. I wanted a very transparent mic for vocals, so I bought the Røde NT1 (2014) and I’m really happy with it. You could also checkout reviews from Podcastage.
That was great , sounded like Paul and George
You are far too kind my friend!
Thanks for the video! What sounds better in cardioid, the LCT441 flex or the LCT440 Pure? The 441 looks like a great as a Swiss Army Knife of mics, but I’m mostly a Singer and Guitar player and as you have said, 98% of the time I’ll be using Cardioid in a less than perfectly treated living room. Thanks in advance!
Thanks Warren, great performance.
Gilles Saïssi Thanks ever so much!
To be honest, your voice sounded a lot like Eric Clapton! :-) Nice mic, thanks Warren!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Bernd!!
very beatlesesque warren
You're far too kind Ryan!
Hi. So, according to the "Front" sticker (2:07) on the mic, doesn that mean that Lewitt themselves has placed the mic the wrong way in front of the Marshall (3:18) on their website - or is the source supposed to go into the back of this mic? 😆
This mic has several reverse patterns as well, which flips the hot side of the pickup from front to the back.
Nice action. Ooh, nice action :)
Thanks ever so much Calvin! I really appreciate it!
Which one is better 440 or 441?
The sound is very similar - the LCT 441 FLEX is the multi-pattern version of the LCT 440 PURE
@@LEWITT-audio hi.. under one of the questions you had said 440 uses a different capsule, how different is it from the one in 441.. is there any significant difference in the electronics as well.. I'm basically looking for a microphone for vocals but if the 441 offers even a slight improvement over the 440 on vocals, I would rather buy it.
I am thinking about just running nthe most efficient mics I can through tubes. I am also looking at the how the smooth Ness factor, I mean a flat what you see is what u get sounding mic, I figure you can add the rest. Nothing to artificially hyped. Nt1a, 2a's, lewitt, nothing more than 12 db self noise. Advance Sir Warren? Musical Knighthood, not that I can confer that honor.
Those Brian May Guitars deserve more appreciation 😀
Stellar job 👍
They are amazing!!!
In your opinion is it better than the OC16
Thanks for another ace video. Entered for sure.
Just wondering what your opinion is on condenser mics on guitar cabs. The studio where my band is recording (because I learned its best to be on the performance side of the desk with this band) uses condensers and the tone is so accurate to the sound from the amp I was really impressed.
Anyway would love to hear some opinions and even suggestions of condensers that work well.
The Reason i bought them in the first place was because of you Warren , and the great info !!!! Otherwise I would never had heard of them !!!!!!! Produce like a pro is important for me to listen to, Like tape op is for me to read !!
Thanks! I’m sitting here getting my hair cut and reading these comments means a lot! Thanks ever so much
I’m glad to be able to help! Happy New Year
Which Yamaha acoustic guitar is that? Could you mention the exact model number? It sounds out of this world🤘
I would be curious to hear it on the bass drum.
That's a great idea! You know me I just wanted to do the whole song with one mic! Ha
No harm in that.
Thanks Clay!
Very nice and charming video. Very interesting how the microphone works in a room and with the piano, because with the 8 you have a good mixture about the percussive sound and the overall sound in the room. I'm not so happy with my Rode M3, singing yes, but piano doesnt work.
Guess I gotta get a Lewitt my next birthday. :-)
nice one warren dig it
Thanks ever so much John!
excellent video, can you do a review and test of the Behringer C-2 and the SE electronics SE8?
This is fun!!! I loved it😁
Thanks ever so much AMB!
amazing as always, btw which model and brand are those great looking white headphones?
Ha Ha Excellent review! And the song..... oooooh! Thanks Warren! ;-)
Claudius LeBlanc thanks ever so much my friend! You Rock!
Great song warren great video as always
Steve Berg thanks ever so much!
Produce Like A Pro thank you for entertaining and educating
Very cool giveaway
Thanks ever so much James!
Really inspirational session! So fascinating to see your process and your song...Very cool mic that facilitates creative options and exploration...Well Done! cb
You are not as clever as we all are? Could you please stop fishing for compliments in such an obvious way? You, Sir, are one of the most clever and most talented guys I know... not personally... virtually... impersonally? Oh, boy, you know what I mean.
And your red beauty sounds phenomenal!
And the mic sounds amazing! And the reverse polar patterns are a great help!
Hi Jürgen, haha you are far too kind! I have been blessed to work with guys like Steven Tyler and Vinnie Colaiuta so I have ZERO ego about my performances! I am merely a beginner scraping the surface!
how would this do with vocal foreal like who records sing or rap on it daily?
Is this mic better than NT1, NT1-A, NT2, AT2020 & AT4040?
I like lewit even more now ...an awesome and entertaining presentation
Hello, thanks 🤩😃..
I also have Lewitt Lct 441 Flex microphone. The sound insulation is not good, it picks up the surrounding sounds, but a large diaphragm microphone, this might be normal, a very chubby sensitive microphone. Is it the same for you? bm800, Zingyou zy-802 poor quality microphones are also sound insulation, but of course Lewitt recording is very high quality ... Lewitt Lct 240 pro sound insulation is good, that is, it records less distant sounds. I am satisfied, but I want to know the details.
Hmm, The Lewitt Lct 441 Flex self voice at my normal room is a not a very strong sound, recording while listening.
Please a answer to my ask, problems.. Thanks 😍
Nice . Thanks Warren
What's that lapel mic you're using Warren?
You sound like Macca !
hey Warren!
you could make the whole album all by yourself, like Rick Astley did with his "50"
Haha I love the Rick Astley comparison? Haha
yeah) btw he has a great voice!
did you hear his last 2 albums? it's marvellous! )
Andrey Gaiduk I’m sure he does! I remember him being on a live show when I was a kid and he sounded amazing
Holy shit you can play
You’re very kind!!
🌓You are so talented! Great video.🌗
You are far too kind Lillian!
Oh warm audio wa14 sounds great on female vocals for females with smooth voices.
