This is another video in our “One Mic” Series, and today we will be using the Austrian Audio OC18 to record a cover of “Turn It On Again” by Genesis!
As usual, this will be recorded through our Audient ID44, but this time we also worked with Adam from Hop Pole Studios, who recorded some drums and also did background vocals with Steve Maggiora!
The OC18 is a classic cardioid microphone, and contains the same handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule as the OC818. Like all Austrian Audio mics, it is engineered and manufactured in Austria. Its high sensitivity and low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it a great choice for studio, live, and broadcast settings.
We found that the OC18 had a lot of girth for a condenser, which we really liked. This mic has a lot of the characteristics of the 818, just with fewer polar patterns (with the 818 you can adjust the polar pattern on the mic, even after recording), but this is a less expensive model.

Such a great Mic , everyobody needs this or two in his collection, imho!
Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro Hi Warren , is it open for France ?
@@relaxmax6808 worldwide! ALWAYS worldwide!!
@@Producelikeapro Nice !! Tx
Thanks, Warren and Austrian Audio for a fantastic opportunity! Well done to the AA team for starting up a company and it's always great to hear mics tested out and to hear Steve's voice! My favourite voice in the academy multitracks, no less!
Thanks ever so much Adrian!
Blimey, this was a good take. Splendid and tasteful. Warren, that strat sound is marriage material!
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks very much
The way you said manual reminded me of John Cleese in Fawlty Towers..."bloody manuel!"
Haha that's a good spot!!
Nice song choice and nicely done Warren! Also very nice to have the tracks to play around with, as always...you are the man!
Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
Great Great Cover!!!!!The Band is on point🔥The singer is sooo Amazing!!!!Great Job!!!!
Thanks ever so much Dennis!
Awesome cover! And a great mic! You do the best reviews of mics on YT Warren!
Thanks ever so much my friend
Fun fact is Warren, through your channel here on youtube over the years i learned about gear which is made where i live, like lewitt and AA.
I am really proud to make music with professional gear where i come from.
guess the factory is not far where i live in Vienna.
already use the headphones for recording and mixing, which are top! and will get the mic soon.
again awesome channel!🤘
Thanks very much Hannes for your great comment!
Very cool video! All sounds good 👍
Kodus to the signer for nailing Collins vibe💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much my friend! I hope you’re well!!
I love this mic it gives a pure sound . So clear . I am looking forward to getting one .
Thanks ever so much Tessa!
Seriously man, kudos there, that’s some powerful rights clearance mojo you have. Amazing, Smashing a quality marker down there 🤩
Thanks a ton!
Thanks for giving us the multitracks! So much fun
You're very welcome!
This session and recording are 🔥 !
Thanks ever so much!!
Thanks Warren, that sounds great, and a great price! Loved the vocal, really fine.
Hi David! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much
The recording sounds f*****g amazing!
Thanks ever so much Jürgen!
I like mics like this.
I dont need many paterns for the things I do.
So having the same great capsule in a less featured mic is fantastic.
I agree! 99.99% of what most of us do is only using the Cardioid pattern!
@@Producelikeapro What do you use the other .01% for?
@@electricwhiterabbit haha nicely done! That's for an Omni room mic doubling as a Talkback mic!
Yeah! More Genesis! Would be interested to hear how this mic would compare with the AKG C214
Thanks ever so much! Yes, huge fan!
I forgot how noisy NAMM were! Great song guys, how cool is Steve playing with one hand and tapping the beat with the other. Vote for Austian Audio at the Tech Awards!
Yes! Steve is also playing the Bass Line, with his left hand, along with the live bass!
That is a great mic. I also think this was an amazing song rendition and I will try mixing this one I get back to Massachusetts from Maryland.
Thanks ever so much Bobby! You Rock!
Great Videos Warren! love the Genesis!
Hi Eric! Me too!
Wow. That singer!!! Goosebumps
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Steve is amazing!
What an awsome singer!
Thanks ever so much!
This exact mic is number one on my shopping list. Hoping for January sales 🤞🏻
Thanks ever so much for sharing my friend!
I've heard a lot about this mic. Most of what I do IS cardioid. Occasional omni for recording rooms I like the roll-off and the pad options. Thank you
Thanks ever so much Tim!
Yes Warren, this is a great mike! Always, I've been a huge fan of AKG. So i will buy this mike! Thank you Sir!
Marvellous! Thanks Bob!
Sounds great, even on my iPad... The drums were amazing
Thanks very much Ruben!
As a relatively new academy member I have never been more excited to work on a mix of a song.
A big genesis fan (i also had a blast working on the solsbury hill cover, and thank you again for the excellent review of my mix).
These songs hit me where it counts (assuming we are similar in age so we tend to have similar tastes).
Thank you again Warren, I appreciate everything I've been able to take from the academy.
Wow! That’s amazing to hear! Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro also I had to spin The lamb lies down on Broadway because of you. Thanks for taking me down that road again... its been years
@@quintmylodonrecorders8387 wow! That’s such a great album!!
Sounds and looks good.
thanks very much my friend!
Another great video, and Yes, I will download the multi tracks, keeps me busy and practicing. I have here the great looking pop filter from Austrian Audio, with the red and black filter. I use it on my SM7b without the stock pop filter. Thanks again, Warren. And in Dutch > nog een fantastische dag = have a fantastic day.
That's amazing Gunther! Nog een fantastische dag to you too!
Great job gentlemen!
Thanks ever so much Eric!
that man's voice is so good
Steve is a wonderful singer!!
Awesome cover.
I love this song and your version of it. Great work! Just a few days ago I had a nice evening with Duke on vinyl and a glass of wine.
That sounds like a great night to me!!
@@Producelikeapro It was. Only too rare
@@TheOligoclonalBand I hear you!
Great version. Seems like Genesis probably slowed down in the "chorus" ("I, I, I" part). I also find it super interesting that the drummer switches from left to right sticking constantly.
Thanks Gordon! FYI we cut directly to the original track so we kept exactly the same groove, tempo etc.
hi warren refresh my memory buddy who is he great singer,,,please..cheers DOUGIE...Scotland.
Hi Dougie, the singer is Steve Maggiora, he is the keyboard player and background singer for Toto and also Robert Jon and the Wreck.
What a great singer. Sounds great. Greetings from - guess where - AUSTRIA :-)
Haha Hallo an dich in Österreich!
I like very much this concep of serie !
Thanks ever so much
We love genesis we really do!!!! And love this cover!!!!!
Thanks ever so much Matias!!
P.S Me too!
Had this mic for a good few months as my voice over mic. Loved it! great to work with. But then I got a Soyuz 017FET and unless I needed something more neutral I didn't reach for it. Now I have a Sanken CU41 and I just don't have a place for it anymore. Great mic tho! (would pick it over a tlm103 for VO any day!)
I am excited to hear about Austrian Audio. I would be interested in seeing you feature other mics in their product line, especially a handheld condenser vocal mic. I have worked in live event production (as well as a little recording production) for years, my 1st choice mic in many situations is the C535EB. (Now discontinued by AKG)
Their range is currently limited to two LDCs and headphones. After the phenomenal reception of those products I would expect this will expand in the future.
Thanks John! Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
@@nefdsnet Thanks ever so much!
I received an OC818 after NAMM. Great mic! Gotta do a review.
Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
Great song! Great mic! Great video!
Thanks very much Kelly!
Hi from Turkey
I ordered this mic before watching this video. Good job. I'm right about this mic. I was using se 2200 I hope things will change on vocal recording
fantastic! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
The recording sounded great! I have one little nick pick about the guitar in the verse though, I noticed it in the video where you analyzed this song as well. The phrase ends on the up stroke not on the down stroke as you play. I don't know if you intentionally did this because you prefer it but to me it completely changes the feel and intensity of this part. The keyboardist in the video played it correctly. Other than that the interpretation of the song was top notch, really enjoyed it! Cheers.
I enjoyed that version as much or more than the first song on Duke. Not my favourite album, but I was a tad jaded reading american psycho. Long story.
Interesting! FYI the guitar and keys are kicked playing exactly the same thing though. Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
@@genuinefreewilly5706 haha yes, that sounds interesting!
Merry Christmas to you too!
@@Producelikeapro btw kudos to Marc Daniel Nelson fill in? Very appropriate wisdom
That sounds very nice! Really good mic!!
Would be incredible... To finally win one 😅☺
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
How to best choose between the AA OC18 and the Lewitt 540 S?!
what are people's understandings? is one really better than the other?
or are they equally gopd with just brighter sound on the highs for Lewitt and more of a smooth sound on AA OC18?!
what will fit a male Baritone that will do both singing and voice acting?!
or should I just go with the Shure SM7b?!
what you guys say?!
thanks to anyone getting back 😊🥂
Love your videos 🔥🔥❤️
Appreciate it!! Thanks ever so much
And when you've mastered playing the main guitar riff, skip forward on the album to Duke's End where the same chord pattern is stretched out over 6 bars of 4!
Marvellous! Thanks ever so much!
Amazing mic
Thanks ever so much
*marvellous cover Warren!* 🎅🎸🎄
Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro what's the name of a singer? where to find him more singing?
@@andymusicyoutube it's Steve Maggiora! He's on Spotify, also he is the BV singer and keyboard player for Toto!
@@Producelikeapro Steve Mandalorian?
@@andymusicyoutube YES! With his Baby friend Baby Yoda!
Blown away
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro hi Warren. Its John (Fortnum sound) this is only of my yt accounts. So if you see a comment from Cripes Almighty you know who it is 😉
@@cripesalmighty4744 wow! Thanks for letting me know John! You Rock! Hi
Hey man, a great song for a great showcase. Never fails to impress man!
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure!
Good job.
Thanks ever so much
Sounds great! Austrian Audio is on the gear short list for my studio. Cheers Warren!!
Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
Hello! What about Lewitt 640ts compared to this Austrian Audio OC18? I have a tenor (little nosal voice) and want to record only my voice. Thx!
I haven't done a direct shootout yet!
Love this!! Is there a MIDI track for the piano part - I'd love to learn to play it 🎶
Sorry, no, It was played live with no MIDI being recorded
@@Producelikeapro Well I'll just have to try harder 😬 - many thanks for replying.👋
Who were the band. It's you on guitar and bass. THere¿s the vocalist/keyboars and drummer/additional BGVs.
It’s Steve Maggiora on vocals and keys (he’s in Toto and Robert Jon and the Wreck) and Adam Steel on Drums and BVs! And yes, I played guitar and bass
Warren, I have a question with regards the competition that ends its submissions today! How can I get in touch with the team?
Hi Jules, the rules are all written on the RateMyMix site. You can try support in the meantime, however it is quite straightforward we have until the end of the day and you can pretty much do anything you want to the song! Clo is the final judge on this, so you have to make sure to impress her! Many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro I have my song ready and it's uploaded on the forum and on SoundCloud already. My main concern was that when I submitted the song to the email provided on the rules, I forgot to add my SoundCloud link. It's just the mp3 track. 😅
Do you think it would be wise to resubmit the song? Or just leave it as is since it's on the forum already?
I'm sorry to be giving this much trouble.
*Hey awesome people!* - Is there someone like "Produce Like a Pro" that focuses on Live audio? like concerts, churches etc?
This content is amazing and I really wish there someone who puts this much detail for live audio and multitracks
thank you.
Yes! Once the live world starts back up again I'm excited to cover that!
Hey man, If you haven't already found them, check out MxU here on youtube, they've got some good stuff for free, but they have a whole paid platform also that has hundreds of quality videos on live sound
A nice nod to Chester Thompson who used to drum this left-handed in Genesis live.
where can I get this pop filter?
Warren how would you compare the OC18 vs the C214? because I think the OC818 is like the C414 so I guess in a way the OC18 is like te c214?
Hi Leon, my recollection is the 214 is quote different sounding from the 414. This, the OC18 sounds just like the more expensive OC818 because it just a reduction in features only.
@@Producelikeapro Wee need to make a comparison video of those two and then VS the Austrian Audio! hahahaha Many thanks for all that you are doing for us!! this is where I have learned the most even more than school!!! love to you Warren!!!
@@Producelikeapro Just the answer I was looking for. I was thinking the same thing about the C214. Thanks for the clarification. I just got the OC18 in yesterday. So far so good for rap vocals.
Hey is there a way I could get the wav files for this track so I can try to mix the vocals myself to see if it’s something I’d like to purchase?
Yes! The link is directly under the video
@@Producelikeapro ah yes thank you!
@@rylandweet7750 great!
Hello. Do you recommend these microphones for home an upright piano recording? Thank you.
Absolutely
@@Producelikeapro Thank you :)
@@robertdepiano you're very welcome!
@Warren: Are you folks following a click track during recording? Do you establish a BPM...? I understand a few tunes on the multi-track list might be recorded free time... are they all?
If you do follow a click track, would it be possible to mention a BPM somewhere in the download description?
I feel this would be beneficial to those of us who may choose to augment the tracks using MIDI... and an established BPM would be invaluable. Many thanks in advance.
I played this to the original, so it fluctuates with the original tempo!
Since I'm not using Protools, it would be handy if you could tell me the tempo, assuming that you did this to a click.
Hi Bill, there is no strict tempo on the song, we cut to the same feel as the original. Regardless of the DAW it will appear the same. Many thanks Warren
Reaper!
YES!
What is the Tempo of the Session. I just bring the multi-tracks and figure out what all the printed effect are. I have Pro Tools 2018.12 the session never open right when I open the ptx supplied. If anybody knows the tempo it would save me a step. 🙂👍👍👍
I played this to the original, so it fluctuates with the original tempo!
It's incredible. If you share configuration mic by each records (Phase, Attenuation etc.) it would be great for me. P.S. You can says До свидания on you next videos because you have audience from Russia =) Have a nice day and holidays.
Fantastic!! Can you tell me how to pronounce that phonetically? I will try not to mess it up! Many thanks
Hey, the tracks to download appear to be "Good Lovin'?"
I just checked and it is all ok, not sure what you have downloaded? Was it a different link?
@@Producelikeapro All sorted! Not sure what I did wrong, I'll blame it on lack of coffee.
@@TomBelknapRoc Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
😮😮😮
Thanks ever so much!
Another sone to mix. hohoho .....
Marvellous!!
I'm all tricked ! I lost my critical thinking !
Great video !
Haha Thanks ever so much for the great comment!
using Reaper, nice
Yes! Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
Trying to record all the instruments well with one mic is at the very least difficult. This sounds pretty good, especially for one mic, but there's not a lot of "oomph" on the low end (low tom, kick drum, bass guitar), and I think keyboards almost always sound better direct, etc. Vocals, guitar, and the top end of the drums sounded pretty full. Of course this could be from any number of things, the mix, the compression from being put on YT, my earbuds, my laptop, once again...etc. But as an exercise this came out sounding pretty good. Of course it helps that the musicians being recorded are exceptional, the engineer and room are also above average. Overall it sounds like a pretty good mic, especially for people with home studios that don't have a lot of cash and want to cover a lot of things with a single mic in their arsenal. Mics are such a personal issue, and certain merits can be discussed ad infinitum, but this mic seems to me to cover a lot of ground and would be a good addition to any growing mic collection. Peace.
I would highly recommend downloading the Multi Tracks there's a ton of low end! We had to do a lot of high passing on the six for it to translate to UA-cam
@@Producelikeapro I figured that probably had a lot to do with it. I will check out the multi tracks to get a more "honest" representation of the actual sound. Thanks. Peace.
I couldn’t hear the guitar in the track
It's mixed above the keys, maybe you're confusing them?
🙂
Thanks ever so much Audrey!
THIS is GREAT! - BUT---
I have tried to Download the tracks and can't get them? what could I be doing wrong?
1. Receive Emails ✅
2. first name ✅
3. Email Address ✅
Click Down Load Multi Tracks Nothing ???
I just checked and it took me to this page and worked:- producelikeapro.com/oc18-multitracks/
Please let me know if you're still having issues at your end. Many thanks
@@Producelikeapro Thank you so much for your reply!
actually I was able to get it done on fire fox,
I was using Safari,
It's funny the page looks different on Safari for some reason and the button doesn't click...
But with an old version of Firefox on a very old iMac I was able to click the button and the email was sent.. Then I download it from the email
On my Mac Pro 🔊🔊👍🏼
Thank you again !
Hope you have a marvelous evening :)
@@Producelikeapro i can get to the page but the "Click to Download Multi Tracks" tap Is Un-Clickable With Safari.. it did work with FireFox though
@@tootory9506 that's strange as I only use Safari and it worked for me.
I only have one mic (an SM58) so I do this anyway. Lol.
Great! The 58 is a very versatile mic!
very unique sound I quite like the band but whats the point of using two different instruments and playing the same exact notes.If it was my band I would have preferred something different on the guitar just to add little depth and dynamics.
no comments at all!
Haha I hope that's good Johnny!
I am Alpha
One mic , one note ??? Another one note song Relax , Frankie Goes to Hollywood except the note is E instead of G .
One real decision !
Interesting idea Gilbert! Happy Christmas!! Thanks ever so much!
@@gaelfaun2459 Yes, indeed
@@Producelikeapro X)
what the hell are you guys playing? Sounds like each instrument is in a different key.
The only thing that doesn't sound good is the keyboard. That's probably not the mics fault. :-)
Sorry, I literally thought you were recording Genesis on 1 mic. Not multi-tracking a Genesis cover with one mic.
Haha sorry to confuse!
too much sssssssssssssssssssssssssss
The piano needs some intonating
Too loud and out if tooon
Recording sounds pretty bad and harsh
