I bought the ma200 a few months ago for my vocals and I love it . It just gave such a better tone to my voice and changed the vital need of so much eq for my voice but everyone is different . I just love this mic ! I used to use a nuemann tlm102 and this is much better in my opinion
For my voice, the MA 201 Fet is perfect! I’ve had it for about 8 or more years and I always come back to it! I thought the tlm 103 was going to be my forever mic, but I returned it and went back to my mojave. It makes me so incredible and anyone who I put in front of it.
Mojave makes killer stuff. Their MA-1000 is a regular for vocals and pretty much everything else for me. Equally goes up against my U47 and when I tried it with a 251. Fantastic company.
so nice!!! I really wanna buy the Ma-1000. Is it worth it just for vocals? I want a mic for a lifetime. I would connect it with a rme babyface. Would u recommend me this for pop and rnb music?
Definitely agree with going for the ma300 for the extra $200. Like the great Al Schmitt said putting the mic to Omni captures the room tone as well which makes all the difference vs just cardioid pattern. Sweet vid!
I definitely love the gear review videos. I like the studio tours the most, the studio techie stuff (where you show us how you incorporate some new piece of gear or rewire something, etc.) second most and the gear reviews third. But at this point I think I will watch anything you do. I would like to second Daniel Feller's comment that seeing you throw together a piece of music was so surprising and cool. I would watch more of that as well.
The MA-200 from the previous generation is my only good mic I have which I mainly record acoustic solo instruments like orchestral violin and guitars. It's got that punchiness and warmth to it and I do love it. Considering the MA-300 now that I found out about them....
I need a new vocal mic and now I’m standing between u87 and ma 1000. would u recommend me the ma 1000 for rnb and pop vocals or would u say the Neumann u87 is a safer Choice ?? It’s such a hard decision for me. Don’t wanna make a mistake with so much money…
@@timuryesa I've heard nothing but amazing things about the MA1000, so I'd start there just for the price point. And if it doesn't do the trick, you can always return it! I also wouldn't sleep on some of the Warm Audio mics as well.
The MA-300 has been one of my favorite microphones in my studio the past year and change. I'd find myself using it most of the time over a TLM 107, which comes in clutch where less colored sound was called for. Can't wait to try the 301FET at some point
I compared that mic to telefunkin mics and nuemans on a test web site called Audio Test Kitchen and the 300 was my favourite of all mics. Perfect sounding
Andrew, appreciate you thoughts on the Mojave mics. I talked to Ross Hogarth a few years ago about the the Mojave 200 series ... he used them for overheads ... eventually I got 2 of the MA201 FETs for overs. I too heard a notable difference. They put our drum records in another league. When the MA-1000 came out I took a chance and bought one sight unseen ... but based on their track record I felt like it was worth the chance. It has become our studio's flagship mic. Mostly used on vox and acoustic. Greatly appreciate your channel. Ron Flack, Canton Ohio
so nice!!! I really wanna buy the Ma-1000. Is it worth it just for vocals? I want a mic for a lifetime. I would connect it with a rme babyface. Would u recommend me this for pop and rnb music?
I have an older MA300 I picked up 4yrs ago - been my vocal go to and mono room mic ever since. The drums sound great! The snare rattle in the 'Full Kit' is a bit distracting, though. It's not as obvious when the OHs are solo'd. Odd.
@@AndrewMasters Ahhh. Well that makes perfect sense. Thanks! Loving the channel here in Toronto, btw. It was awesome seeing Kenny A recently. Great guy and awesome to work with.
dude that full kit sounds insane, it's so rich .......the way I put it is, it's the way chocolate sounds n your mouth :D (I know I sound insane, but I can taste sounds ...it's a rare condition )
Yes I love them, have them and made a video doing that earlier this year. The m160s are some of my favorites, those are what you’re hearing on room mics.
Andrew. You turned me on to the TF series and it PERFECTLY matches my voice. I remember using the MA300 as a female vocal mic and a SPANK room mic. What is your take comparing the TF39 and the MA300?
Hey man! We're buying a beautiful studio in Charlotte, NC and would love to have you stop oil and do a tour! We close in a couple months and should be fully moved in by December 2021.
Please stop getting into my head and making me want things I can’t afford. But geez at the price point… I haven’t read all the comments …but… mid/side with the 200 and 300!
Oh and despite your invasion of my head space- Please keep these coming. Functional reviews of attainable products with slick packaging. These are great.
Hey Andrew I had a question about your video you posted about the drum mix in 15 minutes you posted a while ago I didn’t see the Gretsch kick in trigger 2 maybe I’m just over seeing it and also how do you avoid the trigger picking up side rim shots on the snare without it triggering it into the snare drum or is that possible
Bro, I LOVE your channel, I really do, but you gotta stop with the “EPIC” train, if everything is epic, nothing is epic. Once again, no hate, for real, keep up and best of luck
How about those drums!! What do you think? Have you used Mojave mics before?
Sounds great! What cymbals do you use with that kit?
As OHs and rooms. Great OHs if your drummer is good. Great room... always
You're teasing but they sound gooddddddddd!!!Just those clips I'm listening to in my room with my hs7s and Motu Ultralite!!!
I have the fet 301 blows my 87 away imho
Full and punchy! Awesome!

Same here. I kept coming back to MA-201 FET over TLM-103.
Damn those drums sound amazing!!!!
It’d be really cool to see you producing more music 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Dang the old school kind of 251?
so nice!!! I really wanna buy the Ma-1000. Is it worth it just for vocals? I want a mic for a lifetime. I would connect it with a rme babyface. Would u recommend me this for pop and rnb music?
Of course the MA1000 sounds good, the mic runs for 3k dude

Drum kit sounds awesome with these mics!

I have owned mics twice this price and the MA200 just was so much better for vocals.
MA300 is a great mic. Great on woodwinds, and had very good results using it as a drum room mic in omni.
Wow! Sounds great man! Definitely going to check this out for acoustic guitar! Thanks for sharing your review
Nice post. I’ve been interested in getting a U67 clone for a while.
The MA-200 from the previous generation is my only good mic I have which I mainly record acoustic solo instruments like orchestral violin and guitars. It's got that punchiness and warmth to it and I do love it. Considering the MA-300 now that I found out about them....
Sounded great! I just got my Warm Audio WA73-EQ up and running, such a great unit!

your drum tones are so goooooood LOL! mics sound awesome

I like the bass response
I appreciate the pursed lips Tambo technique. I thought I as the only one until now.
No joke, I am 2:00 in the video and I already want one of these

It's the transient designer on the room mics, the sustain is all the way exaggerated for the track it's on.
@@AndrewMasters Ahhh. Well that makes perfect sense. Thanks!

duuuuude sounds killer

So good!
Beyer ribbon mics make interesting over head drum mics... try a matched pair, around where your ears are, as you drum; it's pretty sweet.
Yes I love them, have them and made a video doing that earlier this year. The m160s are some of my favorites, those are what you’re hearing on room mics.
I vote for the 300.
Have you tried the Lewitt LCT 640 TS microphone ?
Sounds killer
Yes, more gear videos, great video bro
Andrew.
You turned me on to the TF series and it PERFECTLY matches my voice.
I remember using the MA300 as a female vocal mic and a SPANK room mic.
What is your take comparing the TF39 and the MA300?
Allot of snare buzz.
I like Royers, but have never tried a Mojave (the M1000 is particularly interesting). So far, my ultimate tube microphone is the Neumann M149.
We have 2 MA-200s beastly drum overheads
Great video! How does this mic sound on vocals? been thinking about getting one
I was about to comment “but what about warm audios version?” But then I looked at the description and saw it was linked. Haha
That's the WA273EQ preamp :)
@@AndrewMasters ahh I saw wa and assumed it was their u67. Still that pre is awesome too. Link their u67 too! It’s great.
If you want variable polar pattern on a budget the rode k2 is a good option
Legend has it that Kevin Parker has used this mic for drum overhead
heyyy great video! how do u change the tubes after years of usage?
Hey man! We're buying a beautiful studio in Charlotte, NC and would love to have you stop oil and do a tour! We close in a couple months and should be fully moved in by December 2021.
I got an ma-200 on Offerup for $400. I wonder if it was potentially stolen because the seller kept calling the mic cable a "midi cable".
Please stop getting into my head and making me want things I can’t afford. But geez at the price point… I haven’t read all the comments …but… mid/side with the 200 and 300!
Oh and despite your invasion of my head space- Please keep these coming. Functional reviews of attainable products with slick packaging. These are great.
Glad you are enjoying the vids
I’m looking at the ma300 or the Atlantis. I sing tenor and I do r&b and gospel. Maybe some rap. I would appreciate you advice
Where did you buy your desk from? I like the ebony top.
What are your feelings on using the Mojave L D cond vs your AE stereo ribbon for drum overheads? Different type of mics… equal love?
Please use ecc803s
Nice choice
I have some jj ec803's... in a phono stage. A little dark but so full in the low end.
@@germancarluv cheers
Hey Andrew I had a question about your video you posted about the drum mix in 15 minutes you posted a while ago I didn’t see the Gretsch kick in trigger 2 maybe I’m just over seeing it and also how do you avoid the trigger picking up side rim shots on the snare without it triggering it into the snare drum or is that possible
10 mics, a very lucky number when you happen to have 10 pres start start with N
actually his start with W but yea
i loled 7:00
What about vocals?
bought it 11 years ago and still i don need any other mic
I tied a couple Warm Audio mics. Not impressed. MA 200/300 way better!
Bro, I LOVE your channel, I really do, but you gotta stop with the “EPIC” train, if everything is epic, nothing is epic. Once again, no hate, for real, keep up and best of luck
Haha true.. Thats an epic comment ;)
Next video, AVERAGE sounding microphone!
Peluso or Mojave?
