I enjoyed the song
okay, so I put on my studio quality headphones, and listened very closely to those vocal samples both wet and dry.... thats how you can REALLY hear the difference, and I REALLY did... what I found out is the one that really stood out is the WA-14... it stood out with its sound and price point.... it was nice and open, cuts thru the mix, it sounds like a microphone that costs more than what it actually does, another one is the WA-251 (oh my God) the warmth, the character you get outta that one this one is soooo awesome... make sure your room is well treated for this mic (listen when he doesnt sing, you can hear alot of background noise), the WA-47 surprised me, because I originally thought that microphone wasnt for my style of vocal and music background, but now I reconsider, damn good sound out of that one.... lastly, the WA-8000 is what it says it is... as soon as the clip both wet and dry kicked in, you can hear that open, clear, but warm vocal cut thru like butter... the ones I didnt mention doesnt mean I didnt like them, they ALL sound awesome, but those ones I mentioned stood out for me, and I might be making a purchase for that WA-14 and see how it works for my rap/hip-hop/R&B type vocals, I need one mic to work all around and build from, this one might be it..
*High end* = WA-8000 (rap/dance/hip-hop) or CX12 - (Acoustic/Pop/Orchestra)
*Middle ground* = WA-14 IMO
*Budget* = WA-47jr
By the way..the CX12 is perhaps the perfect mic for you. Well done 👍
the 251, cx-12 and the wa8000 all sound fantastic with the edge going to the 8000
Thanks for this showcase! I own a WA-47 and been using it for a few years now and it’s definitely incredible and works perfect for nearly anything.
Thanks for watching! If you are a fellow subscriber, thank you for supporting the channel 🙏🏻
Is it a bright mic? Im thinking of buying it but wanna know how it sounds on the higher frequencies. My voice soudns really bad with a mic that exagarattes higher frequencies. Had c414xlii earlier hated it
In my opinion, a big issue with these comparisons is the changing distance from the capsules.
You get different characters because of proximity and room tone at various gain stages. I think you should stick with a fixed position marked with the pop filter to ensure getting objective sound samples of these products. Otherwise great content, thank you!
All that’s irrelevant anyway, cause your studio is going to sound different anyway.
Can You review the 512 audio brand of mics in particular the tempest it is a extension brand of warm audio thanks ❤
The 251 and 8000 sold me. Great replicas of the OG’s.
I went in thinking I was going to like one mic… but the 47F just set your voice in perfect focus and made me listen to the music.
Might be my next mic.
Love the content like usual! I said it before and Ill say it again. Microphone comparisons are my favorite from this channel🔥🔥 I got myself the wa 87 and did not regret at all! Loving it till this day. Tbh my fav has to be the Wa 8000 which has the most unique sound imo. Keep up the awesome content!🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!!

GREAT VIDEO!!! I have the WA8000 and its really nice although it can be a little harsh on the top end. I have the wa251 but haven't tried it out yet. Its funny that you released this video right as I'm planning to do a Warm Audio Mics vs the Townsend Labs Mic shoot out on my channel.
Did you ever do the video? Do u have a wa 8000 vs the Townsend c800 emulation. ?
@@GuttaontheBeat Yessir. Watch it here. czcams.com/video/71iKubhJOXs/video.html
W-O-W i am really impressed with the cx12. its perfect for your vocal. somehow i prefered the the dry wa8000 over the wet one
It is a great microphone 💪🏻 If you are a fellow subscriber, thanks for supporting the channel 🙏🏻
I agree the wet WA8000 it was a lil too bright
Yeah a different wet chain could have been used to better compliment the mic
I like his voice with WA-251
Wet signal has pitch correction which destroys the natural timbre of good mics.
Impressive collection & comparison. I'm happy with the wa87r2. Now I just need to work on my vocals 😀
cx12 is really amazing, its pretty identical to the real one.. i have the wa251 and i love it, recording through uad plugins
Thx for the great vid. Cant believe only 600 likes for such astounding content. WA47, WA67, the CX12 were so natural sounding. The rest all sounded great but did add highs or lows as designed of course. Thx again.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your insights and providing those raw takes to help us assess the sound quality of each microphone. Just keep in mind that the panning of the raw takes is slightly to the right, but everything else in the video is balanced and centered.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the shooutout. Great to hear them against each other. I do have one big request: Could we please have the wav files to do our own A/B testing in a DAW? That would be so helpful!
czcams.com/video/Pm7r8alam-E/video.html
I'll see what I can do 👌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic 🤩
@@EdwardSmithMusic Any news on this, Edward? 🙂🙏
Your voice sounds good on WA-CX12.
grreat video!! thx
I use the 251 and the 67 and the 47. I put vintage nos telefunken fuses in them.. love them.. the 8000 and the cx12 are gonna be next..
hi I wanted to ask you a question, did you buy the wa cx12 and what do you have to say about it
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you brother!!
Glad I could help!
CX12 sounded best on your voice to me. That said, I'm going for the WA14!
I got the wa 47.. and it's my favorite mic at this time.. but I want to try that cx12.. warm makes great equipment for the money
Such a great video Edward congrats! I am starting a studio at my school and I'd like to get a good all purpose mic. I'm between the lct440, the wa47jr or should I save for the wa14 what would you do?
251 rules! I like it better than my wa8000 tbh
It would've been nice if each mic preview was recorded with the mic that is being talked about in this particular preview.
🔥Excellent review. I love my WA87 R2. The 87, 251 & 47 were my favorites.🔥
Thank you so much for watching!! If you are a fellow subscriber, thank you for supporting the channel!
For recording pop vocals the WA 8000 is a no-brainer. It had far more top end sparkle that was still smooth that lends itself to that genre for live use and a more natural true to life tone for me WA 47F was the clear winner with its note weight in the low register, creamy mids and perfectly attenuated, smooth high-end. to me the 47F put your voice in the center of the music.
Do you mind sharing your vocal chain. Whatever it is it sounds great on these microphones I may have to look into that WA - 47
I have the 251 and love it recorded a whole album with it
If I ever want to buy a new mic, I think it’ll be the cx12.
Also make a side by side short of WA 251 and WA47
wow, in this video, perfect "wooden boxes" are presented (in reality, they have a plastic layer that only looks like wood). The boxes for the WA-47 that I bought were full of dents and damage, so I sent the first delivery back to the dealer. When the second one was just as bad, I gave up complaining and accepted that Warm Audio obviously cannot deliver better quality. Now, however, I am astonished that in this video there is no visible damage to the "wooden boxes". What a wonderful world full of surprises!!! But I am of the opinion that Warm Audio should present the products in advertising videos the way they actually deliver them in reality!!
It all screams fake to me. Microphones are good I believe, but the whole idea and the package seems so fake.
i loved the 67 and 47
my mic is behringer b1
i wanna upgrade my mic to warm audio wa-47jr
is it better than behringer b1 ??
The best choice
Good Content dear god!
Thank you for watching!!!
I like to much the 251/47/cx12 and 800, i dont know what is my favourite mic, but i think is the 47 or 800, but the cx12 is near to the other two
The 87 r2 got it
Great looking(and sounding) mics, great voice Dude!
The best all around is : WA 47 . Even the original didn't have 9 patterns. Best mic ever . For male or female . None better !
Hmm, I was wanting to hear an elaboration of the quality short cuts that some have rumored about on WA mics. I find the color combinations a bit wrong with the boring matte Aluminum look that most have, with then also chrome on the same mic which I dont think is attractive, and i might find distracting, but tend to lean to the sound of the 47 and 67 models
Damn! This is exactly the question I am asking right now. Thanks for covering this.
Thanks for watching!!
@@EdwardSmithMusic hello bro, I am also faced with a choice, tlm 49, 67, shur ksm 42sh, telefunken tf 11, 39, can you advise?
Great microphones with great sounding qualities
Great review
Dope content as usual
This is one of the very best videos I ever see about mikes
I was thinking about getting the wa-8000. And now, I don’t think I will. Hmmmm. The 14 is better imo. For that crisp high. And then the 251 for warmth. Thinking of getting the tonebeast(emphasis on thinking about it) or the mpx and the 73 EQ. Can add the warmth there instead of chalking out so much for the mic. Still gonna sit in my decision cause it seems that with AI, and all these companies giving away so many high end plugins, or either for super cheap, I think emulation might finally be on par coming up with whatever they have up their sleeve. So might just get a couple mics, upgrade my interface(RME I’m thinking, maybe Apollo) and just wait and see. Still kinda want that VCA style bus channel strip tho. I get wildly good deals on WA so that’s why I’m kinda stuck in their products. And they seem alright, if you don’t A&B them with what they are cloning. But that’s no problem. I’m not an established and wealthy engineer by any means. Good video tho. Straight to the point.
Another great vid 🔥 what room treatment do you use on your walls?
Hi Ryan. I use these acoustic panels - amzn.to/3zOnU9P
if it is worth acquiring the wa cx12 before the wa 251?
how can i do this edward
Thanks for that video! 🔥
Thank you for watching!!! 🙏🏻
Bro. RODE K2?
Sonically 251, cx12, 67 is best. Emotion and captures that make u feel a type of way would be 47 and 8000. Microphone is more than highs mid and lows. Alot of people talk about body and brightness but u see no people talking bout low end sentiment and high end openess.
Which mic would you suggest buying if you dont want that high frequency shine? Im looking for a neutral mic, something in the lines of RODE NT1A
the 1A is brighter than the NT1
What is your opinion of the 251 vs c12?
The 251 is a touch warmer in sound... where the c12 is a little more crispy and clearer. The c12 has a great overall balance frequency wise.
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you!! 251 will be my next microphone purchase.
I’m wanting to collect the 47, 251/C12, and SM7B for some music covers.
I love them all but 251, c12 and 47 tube are my favorites. What pop filter is that?
Here is a link - amzn.to/41NqPdZ
Is the Neat King Bee II any good? I would love to hear what you think about it. I keep hearing about it. They say it sounds great but is too big and heavy. But for the price I ordered it.
251 sounded the best from my iPhone
Is there a way I can get these in wav format so I can mix in my daw? to see which one I like best
Why is your filming and editing Oscar winning? haha
I appreciate you Casper! Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
wa14 or cx12 for your voice followed by 251.
The CX 12🔥
Best one for Saxophone 🎷recordings?
How about the wa47 (not wa47f) for the kick drum kick out mic?
I'm undecided between SE gemini II and Warm audio wa 8000. I can't find any comparison between these two microphones. Does anyone have an opinion about the two?
Stam SA-800G.
great, thx a lot 👍
Edward which audio interface u used to do these before?
Awesome review
high end midrange and beginner audio interfaces plz i requested u plz🙏🥺
I hope you make a video about professional setup not home studio
Which audio interface u use currently?
The 47 and CX12
Thanks for watching! If you are a fellow subscriber, thank you for supporting the channel 🙏🏻
My favs were 251 & 67...🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!!
WOW! CX12 is AMAZING!!!👍 Thank you for your review.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I need one that would work with the mpc one
Hi .... I wanted to ask you what your real thoughts are regarding the low range (20hz-300hz) of the WA-8000 Warm Audio microphone. Let me explain: I seem to understand that it's certainly not as full as the Sony on the low frequencies but those that the Warm Audio is able to steal are still sufficient? Do you think that you can get enough information to correct any lack of low frequencies where necessary? Are the high frequencies always nice or are they sometimes a little too sharp (harsh)? If you had to choose between the WA-8000 and the WA-251 (I really like this too), which one would you buy? One last question if you allow: Is this microphone (WA-8000) only suitable for recording male or female voices in the field of Rap Music, Hip Hop Music and similar styles or is it also valid for other musical genres? Thanks for any useful information about it and congratulations for the video !! PS: Sorry for all the questions I asked you but I'm very undecided about buying one of the two models I mentioned.
Man the wa-8000 is a 1200$ c800g.. Buy it lol. If u wanna articulate musical mic that will shine.. This is it. the CX12 is second in line
i bought the warm audio WA47jr Sounds very very low it's like am using Shure SM7b i have to put the gain to almost clip to hear my voice it's like i need Cloudlifter
is it how the mic should be or there's something wrong with it
The A!-47Jr needs phantom power to function. In your case, it sounds like your mic might be faulty.
@@EdwardSmithMusic yeah that's why i send it back to have replacement
Thank You bro
WA8000 or Lewitt Pure Tube ??
This is a hard one. I really like the sound of the WA8000... but long term, the Lewitt will last you longer because it's very well built... If I had to choose, I'm taking the WA8000
WA jr vs WA 87 r2 , which wins
Hi which music production software is best to learn and how to get it and install
Go with reaper. It's easy to get and use. What genre are you working on?
@@ankeviousoliver4472 Thank you so much
@@ankeviousoliver4472 hippop
@@cmtv1408 yeah reaper is a good start. I can even show you some workload tips in there if you like. I'm looking to collaborate with producers and really get into this but feel like not enough of us come together. Teams get to $$$ quicker these days.
thanks
the 8000 is fs their best mic
I have a Shure SM7B, and I'm trying to find a vocal booth since my room isn't acoustically treated. What do you recommend? I was going to build a vocal booth.
Hello! I would recommend building some panels and treating your room vs building a booth. Then your room will sound good while mixing too! Made a really great difference in my room! Stay away from the foam! Good luck !
@@kevinjones159 hmmm...Okay. 😂
@@princessl.d.g. Kevin isn't wrong. Would probably be cheaper than building a booth and more open feel to your recordings.
@@manuellujan5625 Do you think a vocal booth would be a waste of time?
@@princessl.d.g. Better to have a good sounding room for recording and mixing than a boxy sounding booth and a bad room for mixing.
251 and 87
Agreed!
I just stared using the 87 after using a lewitt 840. I love both. Lewitt is a little to smooth for my voice but is awesome
Wa 47 and wa 8000 are the best
@4:16 'otherwise very flat' lmaooo are we looking at the same chart? thats like a 5db dip at 6k????
You’re right, there is definitely a big dip at 6k. My bad for missing that one 🙈😂

All sound the same lol😂
This video proves that auto-tune destroys the audio quality of good mics.
Auto tune hardly does that. You just want to be a stick in the mud.
He didn’t even use auto tune what-
No no it’s not about auto tune ,the fact is the boy who is singing. His voice is not good on any microphone😂
If you don’t know what autotune sounds like don’t pretend you do please
