Just got my Some Ether for a project I'm working on and can't wait to start recording things. Thanks for doing this video!!
Thank you for watching Luke!
Very nice and interesting how you approach these devices. The Soma Ether is on my wishlist now :). So far I already have the Lom Elektrosluch 3+ (kind of close mic stereo compared to the Priezor) and the Priezor. It's a lot of fun to discover all kind of sounds and looking forward to your next videos. Thanks!
Glad you like the video and yes we have more coming up. If you can get the Ether the sounds will be different for sure. More variety to work with.
Another great video Marcel!
Thank you!!
Beautiful video. Just discovered this and i think it's amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
wow this was a very interesting watch, i can just hear some of those sounds being used in a game as some high tech equipment or robotics or even just radio distortion the possibilities seem endless, especially once you start playing with it in Cecilia! I may have to pick up both of these!
Yes for game sound design it’s awesome but also electronic music production. Endless possibilities:)
A robot arm would be a lot of fun to record, though you can get some of the same effect from more common 3D printers too, not sure why I haven't recorded my own 3D printer yet, time to gab my Ether!
Thank you very much for doing this comparison !
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this; I ordered the Soma Ether as soon as I saw your Instagram post and it has been making its way across the country from Burbank, California (from Perfect Circuit) to Maryland and it should be here tomorrow. The mini-to-XLR adapter, I paused the video to order through your link; it will be here the day after (I'll explore with headphones until then). Also, I began to play with Cecilia 5. Now, back to the video.
Hi Yenra! Oh yes they have a distributor in the US as well. So glad to hear that and have fun exploring the world of sounds. :)
This is such a cool video!!! I have never heard of the Lom Priezor but I own and use my Ether V2 all the time :)
Great to hear you like it :)
Great video Marcel. I don’t have either of these but I do have a small telephone pickup I bought from Amazon. That’s my first emf “mic” and it’s so cool hearing the electromagnetic sounds. Little tip. If you can find a plasma ball, definitely put either of these up to it. The sounds I got from mine were insane.
Hi Matt! Thank you so much and also for the recommendation. Yes I remember recording a plasma ball inside the Science Museum in Singapore. That was awesome :)
6 minutes in it's already clear to me that I need both, I love the Ether and I always wondered how it compared to the LOM's one, thank you for providing me an answer! Also gonna check Cecilia out, as a sound design nerd it's a tool I can see myself having TONS of fun with!
Hi! Great to hear that so make sure you message Jonas from LOM and hopefully they can make a new batch soon. :)
My Ether is a lot of fun, planning to build something similar to the Preisor to add into another project (a Raspberry Pi based portable infrared camera, figured EMF mic for sound made sense for such an odd device) too for even more versatility/variaty
Thanks a lot for another great video. I was eyeing the Ether for some time now and since the Lom Geophone is back in stock I was thinking about the Priezor as well. In my case, since I'm into more aggressive and dynamic sound and look for more sturdy and durable looking mics, the Ether is my pick. I also want to thank you for showcasing Cecilla 5. I recently found the software myself in a article naming other free to use programs such as amsynth and zynaddsubfx. I've also found out about Kenaxis which has been used by a lot of high-profile names in electroacoustic improvisation such as Keith Rowe.
Hi Yves-Christian! Oh the Geofon was sold out in 2 minutes. 390 units! Crazy. :) If you're on the website from Ajax Studio check out Soundgrain as well. It's really cool. Thanks for the other plugins. I check them out right now.
Interesting stuff. Cecilia 5 sounds like a good plan for one of my projects
Oh yes its awesome
I use also a Pick-Up Coil from Jez Riley French. I like Ether v2, where you can change the length of pick-up the electro wave signal, but with Pick-Up Coil you can record a kind of different sounds in closer distances like I do with Ether v2.
Thats true. I had a pick up coil too but lost it :(
I have the Soma Ether and it’s a lot of fun. For holding it on a boom stick I use a plastic universal phone holder, it helps gives you extra reach. I love the idea of that software and will check it out 👍 I don’t have the Priezor...yet. I’m sure it will come into my life at some point 😂
I’ve loved your Malta series as it has bought back many happy childhood memories when we lived there for five years. Thank you 🙏
Ah that is so glad to hear! We have two more videos coming up that we film here in Malta but we're leaving soon and heading to Georgia (country) next. We stay there for 1.5 months.
@@FreeToUseSounds ...Georgia is a beautiful country I look forward to seeing it and more importantly hearing it 👍
@@soundhobo Stay tuned :)
I wish you were my elementary school teacher and all my classes were electromagnetic field recording
I really like holding the Ether V2 close to trees. Often I'd receive radio, which is probably a no-no for your purposes but it is at least a fun adventure.
If it sounds cool, I would do it too.
Hi Marcel! Ether is much more aggressive and I think it lends itself better to editing with programs like Cecilia 5 to get that kind of sound you created (perfect for science fiction movies!). I've used Cecilia 5 a few times and it has great potential considering it's free! "Who knows what music that guy is hearing in the car?" people must have thought seeing you so enthusiastic in the car 🤣
Hi Giancarlo! Oh yes Cecilia is awesome and yesterday the founder said on the Facebook page its already 30 years old what is amazing.
You get all the cool gadgets overseas. I would love an electromagnetic microphone, but finding one to order here in the USA is proving difficult.
Great video! Btw, are you the only source of information about EM recording on the entire internet? So hard to find anything other than paranormal activity. And why aren't there dozens of various viable recorders available instead of like... two? Strange. Also, Cecilia looks very interesting and useful - and it's FOSS too. Again, never heard of it from anyone else. Thank you for sharing these gems!
P.S.: _Sadly, like you say, Lom's completely sold out. But I found out they are based "nextdoor" in Slovakia (I'm from the Czech Republic), so maybe I could visit them each day and ask "do you have one now? and now?" until they make some...! ( jk, don't worry :D )_
Thank you and yes there isn't much out there. But one bigger music CZcamsr made a video about music production with electromagnetic fields. I think you can find it. He used also a LOM product. Correct Jonas is very close. :)
I've been using AFILS receivers as EMF pickups. They are interesting because they are self powered, have level controls, high pass filters and a figure 8 pickup pattern. Ampetronic CMR3 and ILR3. Usually used for testing hearing loop Systems but work great as EMF pickups too.
This is interesting. I will look into it! So you just record the output 3.5 to the XLR port of a field recorder?
Edit: Just checked and it comes already with an XLR cable. Maybe I can find one here.
And the CMR3 doesn't have a level control, it's meant to be used as a calibrated source for measurement of induction loop systems. The ILR3 is probably the more flexible device but you'd have to make a 3.5mm to XLR cable that only feeds the output to pin 2 and ground otherwise it won't work with a differential (XLR) input. 3.5mm to 3.5mm TRS is fine though - perfect companion to the H1n.
Plese do the train recording
The Soma Ether is the one that interests me the most. It seems to have a lot more going on harmonically. Thanks for the demp of Cecilia 5. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks again for all your work on the videos I cant wait to catch the next one.
Hi Stephen! Make sure you download the sample sound library for the Ether so you can play around with the files in Cecilia 5 :)
@@FreeToUseSounds I bought the sound library last week. Just got to make time to check it out.
@@Steveohugs I just released this one a couple hours ago :)
Purchased thank you.
@@Steveohugs Thank you so much for your support Stephen.
You are cool man !!
The windshield wiper sounded exactly like it did in the 50s and 60s when EMI control was not a thing
Seems like the Ether is more amplified and brings out more nuance from electronics. Whereas the Priezor you have something cleaner and more finicky about source direction. I own an Ether and love it. Sounds incredible on toothbrush chargers and our foot massager. Pro tip for everyone. Record all this stuff at 96khz or more. Then pitch it down and you'll still hear tons of detail. ALIEN WORLDS YO!
I experience a whole lot of noise when I'm recording EMF sounds (I have a DIY priezor). I'm curious if this is just something I should expect, or if there's a way to do noise reduction without degrading my intended signal too much. Marcel, would you, or anyone here in the comments, have any thoughts?
Hi Austin. Sometimes when the signal isn't strong enough I get noise in the higher frequency with the Ether but not with the other devices I use. So, I would try getting a stronger EMF signal. Its really up the device.
Soma simply behaves like a radio receiver with a tuner knob and volume control - by touching the antenna you are simply 'retuning' it. You could get the same result removing the antenna from you AM/FM radio and plugging that into your recorder.
Great to know!
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT KNIT HAT,WITH THE "STOP" ,"RECORD ",and "PAUSE' BUTTONS ??
Hi! Thanks for asking! We made this one. You can find it on our website.
www.freetousesounds.com/product/stop-record-play-beanie/
The Ether works great in the Supermarket or Train/Metro station.
Oh yes I will try this tomorrow.
Have you connected them both at the same time to recorder.. used them both together?
Not at the same time but right after the other. Should be visible in this video.
I'd like to get both of these. Very impressed with the Lom gear, the Elektrouši is great fun.
Oh yes if you have both like me you have a lot more options to record these sounds but the LOM one is currently sold out. :(
You can built both Priezor and Elektrousi on your own actually. I did it but I'm really curious to compare the sounds of mine with original devices
@@nycekkuku I can't do that because I travel and have zero tools. I also don't play around with electronic devices. :)
@@nycekkuku Have you got any good links on self building something like the Priezor?
I’ll need to watch this later
My dog is going nuts at the sounds 😂
Oh yes these sounds are crazy.
Ether is super cool)
Yeah glad you like it!
I love everything SOMA does 🥰
Oh yes they are awesome and just released a new synth :)
@@FreeToUseSounds Oh yes, Rumble of Ancient Times! I may be on the pre-order list... 😇
This is a great channel, thanks for what you do!
@@praticle Wow lucky you :)
@@praticle Thinking about buying the Rumble of Ancient Times. Did you get it, and is it worth it? I am going to buy the Ether when I get home to be used with my music production.
@@stuartleighton No sorry, I cancelled my order after I saw Terra. I've told myself I'm only getting one more synth, and it's Terra 😅
which microphones do you suggest instead of the DPA Microphones? something a lot cheaper but good to start?
Check out the Clippys from Mic Booster.
@@FreeToUseSounds great. Thanks
i have soma ether. And I have a problem connecting it to the recorder. What cable did you connect it to the zoom, is it a stereo aux? balanced ie double mono output soma sent balanced XLR or only one contact and ground?
Hi! I use as XLR just the 3.5 stereo mini jack to 2 XLR male. That works fine.
Sorry i skip first 2 minute video :)
@@user-tp2kh2fo5b Most important part :)
Can you record high voltage power lines?
Oh yes of course but don't go to close.
Wait, this is your apartment? So beautiful~
Hi! It's an Airbnb and in Valetta. The building alone is over 400 years. Really cool but the walls are thin and the windows aren't isolated. The noise here is not very pleasant to be honest.
I want the priezor any one knows how to build it it's always sold out On Lom ... Thanks..
Hi! I think there is a user manual on the page about how to make it.
Both would be very simple to make and save allot of money.
But I can’t and I like to support the people who can.
@@FreeToUseSounds fair enough. I built a hydrophone and a contact microphone earlier this year. Currently working on a ribbon mic. I'll add these to the list.
Are they mono or stereo devices?
These are mono devices. The Electroslush Mini City is stereo
You can use a clamp like these ones on a selfiestick
Yes that is a good way of doing it.
it seems that Ether is much more like a radio
Подписался в instagram.
Yeah! See you there :)
Yeah now you can hear how bad those smart meters are for your health
