That's the Neumann KM184. That's a fantastic mic on things like overheads, acoustic guitars, violins, hi hats, and snare bottoms. I would never have thought to put it on the snare, but I'm really glad I did on this test. It's a little nerve racking putting a $900 mic where the drummer could easily hit it, but what's the point in having it if you're not going to use it. Thanks so much for watching and the comment.

I agree. I tried to get the mics super close together and all with the same polarity. I then looped the parts so that there was no variation in the performance. I then level matched the audio so that all of the hits and blends were within 0.1dB. All the mics were using the same mic press and convertors. I really did try to address all of the variables. I'm really glad you took the time to watch and then comment. Thanks - Jamie

Thanks for watching. While the differences are subtle, they are there. Listening to the 96k files on gourd quality headphones definitely makes them more apparent than listening on laptop speakers. The duality you speak of is one that all engineers question. Will using a $2000 microphone make the song better than using a $200 microphone. It certainly won't, but at the same time it can. Years ago I rented a Telefunken ELAM 251 to record vocals for an unsigned artist doing a demo. The singer was so impressed with the mic and she gave a fantastic performance. Was it the $20000 microphone, or the fact that someone believed in her enough to use a mic like that? Did the mic sound that much better than my Neumanns? I think ultimately, better gear makes it easier to capture the moment. But if there is a moment of brilliance and all you have is a $100 microphone and you are not recording, the moment is gone forever.

Absolutely! I was really impressed at how little the sound changed between a $100 sm 57 and a $850 km184. In a future video, I will show how the angle of the mic impacts the sound of the 57. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for the comment Byron. I too thought that there would be a much greater difference. The 414 did sound the best in this test, but man was I nervous having a $1400 mic within striking distance. Download the 9kk files and import them into a DAW. Then you'll really be able to hear the difference.

All about phase questions. But yes, Neumann is really different between. 🤔👹

@@billygusev2563 yes I agree. (I have zero clue what I’m talking about. But I like the idea those could be mixed for a dry but ambient sound like Dave grohl on songs for the deaf

@@chadgrov mixing distant mics is not simple. You should sync or the distance to the same object (z. B. Snare drum) or later move the track relative to the another same phase movement to have. 👹

@@billygusev2563 now you’re just talking Japanese to me 😂 jokes aside I really wish I wasn’t so “gear-illiterate” play guitar, and you have to be a damn near electrical engineer to understand all the ins and outs of amps and pedals and effects loops and shit. I don’t even know what Ohms are lolol. I am not a smart man - Forrest Gump

@chadgrov - @billygusev2563 is 100% correct. In the longer - long winded - video I describe the recording process. The mics were all positioned at a distance of 9 feet from the center of the snare and a height of approximately 32 inches. this ensures that the mics are responding to the center of the drum sound the same way eg. when the sound pressure wave is pressing on the diaphragm or ribbon of the microphone, both mics are moving in the same direction at the same time. Thanks to everyone for watching my first real upload. I'm in the editing stage of another video on multi-micing the snare drum. That video will actually have 24bit/96k files of the individual and combined sounds.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

hope youre joking lol

@@DivvyDeluxe sorry for askin

@@dee1380 Have you found out how to tune to 432hz on pro tools? Im looking everywhere cant find anything, only logic and FL

same!

I have the InTune plug in now, but the only reason I was able to get it was purely random chance - because I bought a brand new Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface that had free software and DAW plugins included, and the InTune plugin was one of them. Same with the Eleven Lite amp plugin. It's supposed to be included with Pro Tools 2018 as well, but is also missing. It was also one of the free plugins included with the Focusrite interface.

Thanks Reggie. If you have any ProTools questions just ask. I'll see if I can make a video to answer it.
