this is the same as effect placebo . everybody say that neumann better is because expensive but if you was change and say that neu WA 47 the neumann was i think that everybody was believe .

I can even on the iPhone hear a considerable difference if you listen the wa73 example around 3:23 the mids sound scooped out and it feels less upfront in the mids but actually at 5:17 for some reason it sounds way similar.. are you guys playing with us lol😂 did you change the settings at all? I will check this later on my ATC

Both sound great. U can find a wa73 for 500 bucks. Used neve 1073 for 1400. Worth 900 bucks more? I think not.

The warm mic is sibilant and harsh

Love the song!

I can tell one of your favorite artists is Conor ! Fantastic man

Ah. A man of culture.

To my ears… my novice ears. The Neve seems to be a lil thicker on the low end and the WA seems to be a lil more sibilant. Someone correct me if I’m wayyy off please.. haha

I can tell the differences and the neve wins it.. stellar performance, great video

wow, nice performance man! neve sounds more open and wide, mids are nicer(fuller), and highs smoother. If you eq the mids on the WA to bring them as forward as the neve, the highs would probably not pop out so much but for this particular scenario the highs do sound a bit harsh on WA.(+mids a bit more recessed) For musical content neve wins, however the WA did sound a bit more focused, so I'd probably go with WA on drums, and neve on voice and other musical material.

what I hear Neve is more of a shimmering sparkle Air

Casi no encuentro diferencia.

I worked on the Eleven Rack project from its conception to release. Stoked to see it in your rack! Great video, BTW. 🙂

Lol no difference 😂😂😂😂😂

Came here looking for a good comparison video to help me decide to buy my first piece of outboard gear, and ended up really enjoying the performance. Really great job. This song brings me back to a certain time in my life and all the experiences I had with someone who turned me onto Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes. I always loved this song.

I mean yeah, they sound slightly different but they both sound lovely to my ears. And one of them wouldn’t require me to sell several major organs to pay for.

What DAW are u using on this video?

On a macbook air, the Warm sounded better. Most people who >actually< buy music would say the same. Because my 19 year old really doesn't care that you spent 30k on a 1950's mic. Either do I. Make music. Save money. The world will end soon...enjoy it while you can.

Listening to this through monitors, they sound different. Not better or worse in my opinion. Just different. If I heard just one of the preamps and didn’t hear a comparison, both would sound amazing. It’s hard to just say one is better even on the same program material for me. Both have different characters in the high end. Both fit this song and performance well.

It's super close. The difference you are really hearing is mainly new components vs old components that have had electricity run through them for many years. It's very subtle the difference between the two. I would gladly buy a WA47 for my studio and not think twice about it.

I would say the vocal is above and too far away from both mics to make a good comparison.

I couldn’t hardly hear a difference wow that’s crazy

I've used a U87 in the studio. Tube mics, planar ribbon mics, you name it. With a few EQ tweaks, you can make a $100 AKG Perception 220 sound exactly like either of these. Spending more than $100-$200 on a large diaphragm condenser is stupid.

The original U47 I can hear a very tiny difference in the mids and highs but the difference is so minor that I think it could be corrected in the studio so that's why I just picked up 4 of the wa47

I see the eleven rack in the background. Do you still get much use out of it? I'm kinda moving away from mine mainly cos support in windows sucks. eleven rack editor doesnt work anymore, even after fresh installs I just get a blank window. sometimes its not recognised in windows etc. Just showing its age basically. Reason im looking at an SSL video is cos I think i will replace the 11R

I had bought a wa73 and sending it back for exactly what you hear here, how it chokes the top end

The sound in the video is the worst brother. Sheesh

I did a test once on a YT channel of mine that doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately. Remember EVERYBODY hating on the Focusrite Twintrak Pro mic preamp 'back in the day'? I got myself an ISA after having worked with pleasure with the Twintrak. I bought myself a Focusrite ISA, because... "it sounds better", according to "the best ears in th world" (LOL!!!). Well, I made a video and it got a couple of thousand views. I recorded both my guitar and vocals (same signal!!!!) through the Twintrak and the ISA and in the video I showed the processed and the unprocessed results and everyone (OF COURSE!!!) favoured the ISA!! "ISA sounds so much clearer"... "night and day difference" and whatever kinda bollocks they're commenting underneath the video and why did I say "bollocks"???? Well, because I was the only person who knew that, when they saw an on screen picture of the Twintrak, they're actually listening to the ISA and vice versa!! :O :O :O Only ONE out of hundreds of comments said: "oh wow!! That Twintrak sounds pretty damn good!!" ONLY ONE!! I senbt him a PM telling him it's actually the ISA he's listening to, but everybody else... let me stop right here, you know what I mean by now. After this test (and another one I did with my Mesa Boogie amp vs Line6 POD 2.0, same thing... vice versa) I stopped caring about what people are saying about a certain piece of gear. They all know best, but the facts proved them WRONG and it's my own bloody test(s)... :P EDIT: I think that, when people know they're listening to the Neumann, their brain's instantly gonna search for what sounds best about it and then, when they listen to the Warm, it's "vice versa" again. The people listening to these examples probably don't even know their brain's doing this to them and their final opinion about a particular piece of gear. LOL

Like some church video, so many religious people in there comments hearing and seeing magic somehow. 😃

Really good man!

There is a difference... I actually prefer WA-47 here. U47 is a bad choice for strumming anyway.

Slightly off topic question... What interface are you (or rather: were you using prior to the ssl 12) using to feed the ssl summing mixer?

Looking forward to seeing the results mate!

_// Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let's go to the knowledge of the “Truth” God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, who entered the world through Adam, and death entered through sin, and thus death passed to all human beings, Therefore, we are all “Sinners” But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise for all of us! No Respect of Persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life!” “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repentance! “ and, he who believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God remains on him. Then, as through Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, through the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! All of us who believe in The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! The son of God! All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ And we must know that there is salvation in no one else; because there is no other name under heaven, given to human beings, in which we can be saved. Only by Believing/Trusting in “Jesus Christ” can we be Saved! But Jesus Christ also said: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Therefore, we must be doers of the Word of God! and not only listeners and/or readers, deceiving ourselves. So let's read the Word of God! There is His Will! what God wants us to do! Let us read mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, all the days of the life that He gave us! God loves you! God loves us! To Him alone be the Glory Forever! Amen! Bible Source: Acts 10:34-35 / 1 Timothy 2:3-6 / Romans 5:12 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 / Luke 5:32 / John 3:36 / Romans 5:18 / John 6:47 / Acts 4:12 / Matthew 7:21 / James 1:22 /|]l

Any difference is likely because they aren't in exactly the same position, or just differences from one mic to another. The positioning makes just as much difference as the mic.

The 2020 is for home studio, the tlm103 is professional

If he is holding a glass of juice like its a drink. A real friend would talk to him about it and at least ask how he is doing

with laptop speakers i cant tell the difference

Heard it on a pair of ATCs, Yeah the NEVE got a warmer body, but the warm sounds great a tiny bit ''harsh'' if i can say so.

Nice video dudE!

Warm 47 is really good, however, if I were doing a professional recording that is intended to stand the test of time for decades, I would most likely figure out a way to use a real Neumann 47

better than Volt 476p by UA?

nice one :D

Fascinating stuff. As you acknowledge at the outset that the two 1956 models do not sound the same, it would be interesting to know if the WA47 sounded closer to the U47 than the other U47. ?? So, you ask if I could hear a difference - ever so slight, but sure. Could I pick it out if the mikes were used in two different songs - I doubt it. Does it really make any difference - absolutely not. There are so many other things going into a vocal recording that this very minor difference is not what I would be worried about. By the time EQ, Compression, and Reverb are applied and the vocal is run through Autotune and set in a mix, I am pretty sure no one could tell which mike is which. If the WA47 were $2,000 cheaper than the Neumann, it would make me seriously consider it over the real deal. Knowing it is possibly more than $10,000 (or more) cheaper than a 1956 U47 makes this discussion purely academic. No thinking for profit studio would waste the money here. Only if you bought the originals way back when they were the only game in town and still have them - only then is this a reasonable comparison - the real question is then "which would you use, not which you would buy". Otherwise, it is clear that that you would not put your money into buying a used original (well, maybe if you were just so wealthy that you could do anything you wished, but.....). Does not mean I would not want to own an original, but I would not buy one for its sound alone. I love these shoot-outs. Thanks,

Português: Percebi que os graves abaixo de 200 Hz estão um tanto embolados e um pouco longos demais. Acredito que o Neumann possa ter um som mais limpo, com menos vibração em toda a sua extensão. Mas para os vocais parece estar ok. Inglês: I noticed that the bass frequencies below 200 Hz sound somewhat muddy and a bit too lengthy. I believe the Neumann might produce a cleaner sound with less vibration throughout its range. However, it seems fine for vocals.

I feeeeel like a lil EQ bump, and saturation band on the 50-350hz could easily make these sound more comparable 👍🏼 I have a tlm 103 and I can’t justify buying it again if something that’s 100 bucks sounds this good!

Nice song! Love it for the demo! WOuld have loved to hear how it sounds with and without the 4k though.

lol yall funny as hell im obviously missing something how tf is this good singing but if i say its bad im hating the world is crazy but it def sounds good mixing wise the pre amps do sound vey nice

Do you suggest the Warm Audio WA-47 to recording a double bass (mozt pizzicato, jazz contest)?

To potential buyers: don’t listen to the naysayers. Trust your ears, not their anonymous arrogance. You don’t need a Neve 1073 to make a phenomenal record. This will accomplish the *exact* job you’re buying it for. Edit: also look at all the blatant contradictions in their comments. Some are saying the high/low end is too harsh, while just as many others say there’s a lack of high/low end. If this were a double-blind test, a lot of these people wouldn’t know the Neve 1073 from a Universal Audio digital emulation. It’s all a bunch of hot air.
