Just put out the “Kick Mic” already! We know you’ve got it ready to go 😏
😂
This has become my favorite UA-cam channel, I could listen to these gorgeous drum tones and technical conversations all day 🥰
That's amazing. We are so glad you enjoy it!
Same
Ditto 👍
Man that kit sounds so great. Lets also not downplay the importance of the ROOM. A good drum kit, tuned well, in a good sounding room with a good drummer like Blair is MAGIC.
Agreed on all fronts! We also have audio from the ISO booth in the downloadable sessions 😄
Blair is the man!
Fun to see the bottom heads starting to get mic'd after just watching the Black Album video where all the tom bottoms were mic'd
Yea, there's no going back after hearing those 🤣
Sounds great! And shoutout to Albini, who has been micing the bottom of toms for eons!
🙏😢
Love this videos and microphones!!!!
insane tones btw
So cool, good job! One thing that wasn't mentioned in this video was that the tom mic bleed sound was really good one. I think that is what truly makes these mics stand out from the traditional options like 421´s (thou these battle in the Josephson category). Need.
Wonderful mics, the tone, everything.
We are so glad you like it!
Lauten did it again! Well done!
🙏❤️❤️
I CAN NOT wait for the kick drum mic to drop (idk if that’s being worked on) but I am extra happy to buy a set of Tom mics. Really excited to see what the snom sounds like
Just bought some based on the video! Looking forward to it.
We hope you love them!
I'm glad that there's this alternative to the "other L-shaped condenser mic that's favored for tom-toms..."
I love micing tom bottoms! Its almost impossible to go back after
This was a new wrinkle, even for us. No going back, indeed.
I do it sometime, meh
These sound phenomenal. Out of curiosity, do you know if there was any processing done (comp, EQ, etc.) or are these the mics w/o any outboard or plugins?
Edit: just read the description. Wow. Super cool!
These are straight into the board, flat 😄
a thing i noticed is that, if the tom gets bigger, and all tom mics have the same position, like all pointing towords the middle of the drumhead, you will loose some tonality, because of the size difference. you kinda hear it, at 09:39, the moment he changed from the 2. rack to the 1. floor tom. I solved that "problem" by getting the mic a little bit closer to the drumhead, or angle it a touch steeper, towords the rim. so the sound gets more coherent.
and BTW. your stuff sounds amazing
That is definitely another way of doing it! And thank you so much!
Can’t wait to get some these mics. Have a pair of LA-220 V2’s and they’re amazing!!!
We hope you love them! Thanks for being part of the family!
@@LautenAudioProud to be a part. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
@@andygreen5565 Dude, get a Clarion for the kick too. I know its pricier, but I use it on every record I make. World class drummers listen to the playback and lose their shit asking what signal chain I used. I didn't, its raw. Kick, mic, and a great preamp.
@@legacyShredder1 I am. My goal is to have their whole range honestly. I’m saving for The Snare Mic right now.
@@andygreen5565 Awesome. Lauten might be the only current company where you can mic an entire kit with only their mics and still get absolute top tier 10/10 commercial quality drums.
I've got an insane mic locker with the best of the best mics ever made, and Lauten shits all over them. They're that good.
wow exelent channelll
🙏
Would love to hear you all do something with a focusrite and in a home for folks like me. Lol
I need to demo these time mics for my Front Of House
Do it!!
Hey cats: becoming a big fan of Lauren mics, I’ve gone for the Snare Mic and the LS-308, both of which are giving gorgeous results. Now looking at Tom mic, which I’m assuming is similar to the LS-308 but in a smaller form-factor?
Thanks so much for being part of the family!! Tom Mic is a totally different design from the 308 designed solely for use on toms. It’s going to sound more polished straight out of the box and pairs amazingly with 308 on bottom Tom!
absolutely terrific video! great sounds and engineering! if i can ask, who was the video production company that put this all together? thanks
We do it ourselves. There are no staged scenes, clapper boards, storyboards, or scripts. We just tell Darrell, Sully and Blair, go do your thing, and we'll capture it.
What he said ☝
Would love to see a shoot out with these and the Josephson e22s. I have been looking for an excuse to move the two I own off of tom duty, but cannot find a mic that can even come close to what they give me on toms. Could this be the one!?
The E22 is killer! It's a 16mm capsule, so the sound is quite different from Tom Mic. You should grab a pair and check them out.
Fuck yeah Blair!
We agree!
So how do these compare to the 308s? I bought 6 just a couple of months ago for drum mics along with the snare mic, and they sound amazing, but I'd be a little bummed if these are better.
Thanks for being part of the family!! They are very different microphones with totally different technology and sound. Tom Mic is purpose built in every way for toms only. But that doesn’t negate how awesome the 308 are. If you decided to add Tom Mic to your arsenal, you could always move your 308s to bottom toms. Turns out it sounds ridiculous! Go watch The Black Album drum kit video we just uploaded today to hear it.
Great sounds!! Darrell is known for using Soundradix Auto-Align on drums. Did he use it on those sessions?
I'm going to guess he did. It's a go-to for him
I wonder about the Shure 91 right on the floor
Artist talkback. Not in use for the video
I currently own the LS208 and 308 - are the snare and tom mics same build just in smaller bodies? Or different internals?
Snare Mic is similar to the 208, but is not just a smaller version of it. The two are quite different. Tom Mic has no relationship with the 308 and is entirely reimagined in terms of sonics. Hope this helps!
@@LautenAudio so I should also buy these 👌🏽 . Also have your Atlanta's - incredible. Go-to for vocals.
Holy cow that IS in FACT a GORGEOUS DW kit... and I'm not at all into DW.
Could you share the cymbals specifications? Thanks
They are all Istanbul, but I'll see if we can get that list.
Cymbals are all @istanbulagop: 15" Mantra Hats, 22" Matra Ride, 19" 30th Anniversary Crash on left, 18" 30th Anniversary Crash on right.
@@BlairSinta thanks so much 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Nice, i owned the snare mic. But why is the microphone on the first tom mounted upside down?
If you are talking about the toms being top and bottom-miked, this is to capture more low-end extension, just like an outside kick mic. I hope this helps!
@@LautenAudio Yes, I understand. But with the first microphone, the XLR connection is on the top, while with the others it's on the bottom. Is there a specific reason for this?
@@svenburgin7603 oh, you mean in relation to the stand. Someone probably threw it on and didn't realize it and left it that way. No impact on the sound.
Now I see it. At first glance, it looked like the microphone was turned.
@@svenburgin7603 It just got spun around in the mount, which is why it looks that way.
Bottom micing the toms is a little bit overkill in my opinion. When you hit a drum, the heads will quickly start ‘agreeing’ on a frequency to vibrate in, otherwise you’d hear two distinct pitches when hitting a drum. So I don’t think there’s much merit to the idea that it’d have more low end. At most it will have a less defined attack, because the hit is more spread out by the time the impulse has traveled to the bottom head. But it makes sense that a mic company that just has brought out a tom mic is putting out this idea of bottom micing them lol😜
Lauten is not the first to introduce mic'ing the bottom heads, engineers have been doing this long before this mic came along. 🙃 you know what they say about opinions 😂 lol
You already probably know why I am here.
Same
So funny how much money and expertise is in this recording, meanwhile a song made by a teenager in a bedroom gets hundreds of millions of listens.
Two things can be true at the same time 😃
A hit is a hit, does not matter if you sing it into an iPhone!
Nah, my drummer ain’t getting a mic for a Tom that’s worth more than my vocal mic 🎤 🤪
😂
Sounds awesome!! BUT it seems too big for live situation!! 😢
They've been on tour with Foo Fighters for months 😁
'I would have them farther away'. Moves mics closer...
they were way over the toms, moved them back over the rim (further away) but down closer (lower). You cant tell from the camera angle
Here goes my wallet 🥵🥵🥵
😅
Yep sounds like drums.... lol
