    I love this video. I recently picked up a matched pair of the R-10s, and this video was one of the things that helped me make the decision to pull the trigger.

    I'm obsessed with the idea of using only one stereo pair of ribbon mics in a fixed position for everything. Fixed gain, set ahead of time for whatever the loudest track is. Adjust mix by moving the instruments around the room. Sort of a binaural thing, but recorded one track at a time.

      🙌 We're noticing this being done more and more with the R-10! Let us know if you do - we love to see it.

    I was looking for a demo of the R-10, I couldn't find a better one! Great sound, great song, and the explanation of the chain was really useful. Thanks!

    You sure made those R-10's sound sweet! I'm not familiar with the boosters you mentioned. Your vocals are so transparent and sound un-effected, all in a great way, no effects needed, nothing to hide! Great song! Thanks for sharing Trevor!!

    Absolutely fantastic! Beautifully recorded! Great song, great performance! I'm using Neumann NDH 20 Studio Headphones and It sounds incredibly 3d in these cans. There's incredible depth and space and presence to this recording. Trevor you are one very talented singer/song writer/ producer!

      I agree it’s fantastic. Kind of a cheesy sappy song but overall great production

    I used an R10 pair to track a grand piano, thru ribbon mic specific preamps. They sounded amazing, almost like condenser mics. I redid the take with Schoeps omnis, and however wonderful the Schoeps sounded, I preferred the R10 sound. It's a totally amazing ribbon.

    Was a lovely song, sort of Beatles, sort of Passenger sounding. Good mics too.

    Reminds so much of a John Lennon song. Beautiful everything.

      It’s the major to minor chord patterns. Sounds like a lot of other songs going for that twee falsetto thing.

    What mic did you use to record the piece to camera?

    • @trevorthorntonmusic2054
      @trevorthorntonmusic2054 Před 2 lety +2

      The mic I used to explain the chain was non other then the R10! The R10’s and dBoosters were the only mics used on the song. The audio of me talking was one R10 and a dBooster.

    Sounds really close to "Something" by the Beatles to me. Maybe too close.

  • @chrisw5742
    @chrisw5742 Před 2 lety

    hmm maybe point the vocal mic down towards his throat more than his nostrils. It is making him sound s bit too light in the loafers if you know what I mean...

    • @chrisw5742
      @chrisw5742 Před 2 lety

      Most people kiss as$. I tell it how it is. Would like a bit more reverb on the vocal track as well. Sounds a bit dry and nasaly....
