Meet Jason 'Cheese' Goldberg, one of today's busiest rap vocal tracking engineers. The LA-based audio engineer has developed a minimalist tracking setup that allows him to record modern rap anywhere. A Mac Mini, an Apollo Twin interface, and the Sphere L22 are all he needs. With a no-nonsense approach that always puts the talent first, Jason keeps cranking out chart-topping tracks at breakneck speed. In this video he deconstructs his philosophy to record rappers such as Rich The Kid, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and BEAM.
Inspired by the current trend to record modern rap and pop vocals in the control room and on-the-go, Jason developed a mobile setup that he travels with. Turning everything from tour busses, Airbnb lofts, and hotel rooms into makeshift studios, recording in actual studios is an exception. The setup allows Jason to cut professional records with the utmost flexibility. His streamlined recording rig gives him the consistency, speed, and quality that his clients demand.
Jason tracks with the UA Console in record mode to print the sound of the Neve 88RS Unison preamp and the Sphere plug-in. His favorite choices for mic models are the LD-800, BP-251E, and the BP-67 (both from the UAD Bill Putnam Collection). But he also loves the 414 models based on the iconic condenser mics from Austria.
The setup with the Sphere L22 was instrumental in capturing the vocals for Rich The Kid's latest album 'BOSS MAN.' For several months, Goldberg traveled around the United States, following Rich The Kid's busy schedule. In the video, Jason recounts the session with Rich The Kid and YoungBoy Never Broke Again for the song "Racks On."

I can vouch. I have a c800g and I couldn’t hear a difference between the mics. My clients prefer the Townsend after hearing it action. This mic is amazing, it’s now my go to microphone.
That's amazing. Thank you for sharing! 🤘
I've had the same experience in all but one situation. In blind comparisons, the artists and producers I've asked to pick between their [insert classic/vintage/pricey mic model here] and the L22, they think the L22 is the "real" mic because it always sounds more like how people feel the mic should sound than the actual mic does, so we used the L22. Most of these mics are well past their expiry date and there are often no replacement parts. Townsend Labs are not just innovators. They are curators of musical history. And let's be honest, who of us would ever have had a chance to use the Tracy Korby U87 mod or the Soyuz 017? I'm finding these emulations are some of the most versatile and sonically pleasing tools ever made. Plus, being able to mix a TK U87 and a 017 is heaven. FWICT, the Soyuz is the least accurate model to my ears. I've never actually used one, and never heard them side-by-side, but there is something truly magical about the sound of the real 017 that I don't get from the emulation, and maybe that has to do with the mathematics they used in designing the body, but I think it may be that I've heard the $4K tube version and TL (wisely) modeled the FET version. It creates these glorious harmonics that make a C12 sound shabby and a c800g sound painfully brittle in comparison. Other than the 017, I'd assume the L22 is outperforming the mics I don't know just as well as it is those I do!
@@xaosnox Wow, thanks so much for chiming in and sharing your experience!
This dude is awesome.
I bought one and I am excited about this microphone and the quality. Many people come in the studio and say, what the hell kind of microphone is this, man I feel like I’m in a high end studio. The choices are unmatched to say the least, is beyond words. Great Product!
Thanks a bunch for your trust and kind words. 🙌
Townsend Labs I got my guy pondering 🤔 about cop ☝🏾
Love it!
Thanks Dani!
So rad!
Absolutely. Jason is killing it with his setup right now.
I felt that engineering definitely like mind reading
Amazing mic!
Thanks so much. Glad you think so!

Hi Jason, Thank You for doing these videos and explaining your process. Question, how are you setting up console and protools to get the least latency possible? Are you using virtual channels in console ? Or low latency monitoring in protools?
lowest latency you can prob get is with UAD interfaces with Union plugins
On a tangent here ... but which Lapel is being used on Jasons Voice for the Interview .... Super Present ... Clear and Cool ?
Awesomeeeeee
Indeed ;-)

This is incredible! Anyone know what headphone amp he is using?
ProducedByJayT it’s a sterling 4 ch headphone amp 🎧
What’s y’all opinions on the Neumann tlm 103 tho? 🤔
I'd like to know how you level drums and instruments?
Man I’m on the Fence about this mic and the chandler tg mic! I wish I could try it out for 14 days lol. So can I run this with my heritage audio preamp and 1176 compressor?
check out the WA-87r2 i love it sounds great with apollo mkii
Townsend labs would invite jason Goldberg teaching nba youngboy kacey talk mix breakdown
I loved my Apollo twin with my AT 4040 it’s the perfect combo. Try it for yourself. It’s a $350 microphone very underrated IMO. I recorded a artist in a hotel room and mixed it with my headphones still my favorite mix I ever did.
I’d like to hear the music you’ve made on that combo
Is there anyway to get this preset still ?
Where can I get one, it seems the mic is only be ordered online and it is out of stock in any where now due to the pandemic. When will it back in stock?
It's a combination of strong demand and the pandemic that has caused production constraints. We are shipping mics, just not at the speed that we'd like to and we are in the process of catching up. How long it will take to be back in stock depends on your location, and when your preferred dealer has placed an order. I would recommend talking to your dealer to find out when they expect to be back in stock. - Julian
0:54 im 90% sure that's NBA youngboys LA home studio lol
Where to get this big protection foam at 6:25 ? ✌🏼

Apollos conversion is trash.
🧢
@@carlosmohia7569 lol clearly you can afford anything better
@@neotheone5140 clearly
have you heard jasons mixes? they sound crazy good, i dont think the conversion is holding the sound back
Look you ignets.. it’s the ear not the gear but if you took that same ear and gave it better gear then its will be more superior.. fact… dont get all butt hurt because you guys went to guitar center and bought an Apollo because the kid working there who knows nothing told you it was the best
