That Schoeps story is insane.
Great video on an array of wonderful mics. I’m really interested in how you modified Mics. I found your channel totally by luck! Enjoy your content!
EV makes some really awesome sleeper mics! I've got an N/D868 that sounds like a more natural version of the Beta 52, slightly less hyped.
I got my favorite hi-hat sound with an RE20, that’s always been a mic I’ve been wanting a few of I just keep putting it off cause it’s nothing essential right now. Beautiful collection!
I’ll give it a go on hat
Helpful video! Nice to see that you don't have to have any particular mics just because everybody else has them.
I'm really struggling to decide what my next purchase should be. I currently own a 57 and a pair of SDCs which have worked great for electric and acoustic guitar. Now that I'm looking for a microphone that works for vocals and voice overs as well as some more cool guitar sounds, I'm really torn between
an old MD421 (250€), a SM7b (370€), an affordable ribbon mic (250€), the Sennheiser MK4 (370€) or a Beyerdynamic M201TG (180€).
In a not so great sounding room the SM7b seems like the best solution for vocals but something with the detailed sound of a LDC would be cool too.
I wish there was a do-it-all solution... If it wasn't for the money...
Hey, Jeremy…Jeremy here. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation on the AT2020 mod. I had one from a FB marketplace trade and finished the Mic-Parts mod last night. Phew, was that a lot of work; but it paid off in the end. Sounds incredible!
I’m also considering the Soyuz 017FET or the 023 Bomblet as a vox mic for my studio now. Keep making those videos, man! You’re influencing decisions!
The R88 I use when recording a singer songwriter, horizontal getting the voice and the guitar with great isolation as you say, works great. Also on piano. Would you say using one side of the R88 is like having an R44, or is there a difference due to the housing?
RE20 sounds so good on bass cabs, especially 15’s but then again I far prefer to mic bass cabs over DI which at best I blend subtly but I know most people are all about bass DI.
cabs all day. It’s cool on a can but nothing I can’t achieve with a cheaper mic.
Maybe that’s it. I’m butt hurt over the cost to performance.
You should check out the 441's mucho different than the 421's (and yeah mucho $$$) Hyper or super cardoid, the rejection is amazing..
I used to have a pair id use top/bottom snare (when i liquidated 80% of my mics I kept 1 as I love it so much)
i really liked the point you made when talking about your tom mics, when micing drums nowadays i always listen to the bleed and how it sounds, and indeed 421's can sound so good but bad at the same time when your bleed is really heavy. interesting to find somebody else that listens to that, i dont know alot of engineers that consider the character of the bleed when picking out mics. cool video!
Thanks! Yeah I feel like drums are unique in that your micing a ton of things to work together. So I try not to separate them in my head. So bleed has always been a focus. I haven’t always been good at it. Haha always learning.
JJ Blair has been bringing the MD421s awful bleed up before. I can't really understand how the 421 has become the industry standard for toms. C414s sound so much better for that purpose.
I just edit between tom fills.. that said, I got rid of 5 of my 7 421s and replaced them with old used EV N/D486s.. Picked up 6 of them used for under $50 a piece CDN..
Totally built for tom placement Top/Bottom.. and they give you that classic Tom sound
@@drdelewded i also do that sometimes, but there are also moments when (good) bleed can give lot's of character to a drumkit, and then mics with awful bleed just won't cut it. good tip on the EV mics, definitely will look for those!
@@thijnmoons1778 Depends on what im doing.. But if I have my way, ive got so many mics on a kit I try to avoid bleed from close mics as much as possible.. But Ill put 20+ mics on a 5 piece.
RE20 is a kick drum beast. Phase line any other mic and blend.
great content as always !
ever tried to make a whole song recorded just with the measuring mic? i was thinking of getting a pair of dbx rta's, mainly for omni acoustic guitar recording... but there are so few demos.
Not really a question, but a recommendation, I have a Mojave MA-300 and OMG it's the best mic I have ever used! Now that's not saying a whole hell of a lot because I don't have many mics nor have used many pro mics to begin with, but yeah it's a damn good microphone, you should check it out!
I’ve read a few people who run recording studios who say they buy hero mikes not so much because they like the sound of them, more that they are better at depreciation as an asset (from a business perspective) and that many people will only come to a studio if they know there’s a u87 or 47 or whatever because it’s like a stamp of quality etc. I thought it was interesting - particularly the asset bit of it as it was part of a broader point about always buying the best level of equipment you can find (I.e. buy American fenders, not Mexican etc).
I was a bit disappointed to here the word “meh” when you came to the RE20. I just picked up one. I just didn’t want to be like everyone else and their SM7’s. Oh well… maybe my mileage may vary. Lol.
Interesting video and I enjoyed it.
Lol. Dont be! I would probably think the same about the SM7b thing If I had gotten the RE20 before the SM7b...
I have both, and they're both nice, versatile mics. Don't worry. What he mentioned about "one mic on a drumkit" is useful too. I love the RE 20 as a front of kit mic in conjunction with a kick mic right on the hole. Gives a great general picture of the kit and can add something really nice to the bass.
Don’t be, I think it sounds nice and warm and flat. Sm7s are almost meme mics at this stage!
Awesome video…. Have you played with any of the Lewitt mics yet? Would love your thoughts.
I haven’t I would love to try
I must agree with you - I don’t find the U87 all that impressive. The first studio I worked at had NINE of them (we did a lot of big band swing music). Compared to other mics we had, the U87 was disappointing. And this was back when the U87 was out of production.
Can you give advice about finding a job/internships for people who self taught or straight out of school?
Thats tough... so many variables. I will say the people who are successful here with me provide value. They bring something to the table and work without being asked.
What is your recording chain for electric guitar cabinets?
What do you think about using those SM 81s on overheads/ cymbals? Not just hi hats.
I use them as spot mics a lot. Ride.. crash.... etc.. Problem is one if mine is vintage and one is modern... They sound so different I'm not comfortable using them as overheads. Great on gtr cabs too.
When you use the CV4 on kick out which pollard pattern are you using?
I like the Beta 91A for inside hollow trees. I've heard it is a good piano mic too, is that a good idea?
I can see that. I haven’t tried it. Im wondering where you would place it that it could physically set it in a piano that wouldn’t have a weird resonant ring to it.
And the goal is definitely to sound different. I agree.
No Royer 121?
just audibly gasped when you said about the schoeps 48v
Haha yeah…..
Have you ever tried/heard of anyone doing the transformer removal mod to a 58? I've only heard it referred to with 57's.
I haven't. But I'm not using the 58 in the same way i use the 57 in the studio. That said I'm sure it would yield similar results.
@@RecordingStudioLoser Thanks! Great content as always - keep up the great work!
What mic did you use to make this video?
Also, I’m trying to get that overdriven preamp Motown sound nailed down and having some difficulty. Is there a mic you’d suggest that lends itself well to that goal?
Diety d3 video mic. Not really a studio mic and video is all I’m use it for so I left it out.
What era of Motown? Old Motown could be a ribbon. New style stuff that is throwback can be that driven dynamic sound where a 57 would work great.
Trying to just get that character of the old school sound in a live blues performance. Thanks for the recommendations! Love what you’re doing!
A free pair of Schoeps because someone didn’t know what they were doing? That’s amazing. Talk about fortunate. 😳
Yeah I had no idea at the time
I neeeed a ribbon mic but don't 4k right now what do you recommend as a budget ribbon
You might be surprised by the cheap Monoprice active ribbon. Definitely budget. But surprisingly useful.
Bumblebee pro audio or DIYRE.com sells Bumblebee mics on their site. Cheap. Really cool
@@RecordingStudioLoser i have heard of their stuff and there ribbon mics but does it give that intimate feel?
The R10 from royer gets a lot of praise, I havent tried it but the 121's I had were amzing..
Another fairly inexpensive and praised ribbon is the Fat heads from cascade
The snobb in me can't fathom not having a Neumann in your studio
Why Neumann?
@@RecordingStudioLoser Thanks replying! just subscribed, I'm really liking your vids.
I guess is like not having sm57's for me. Recently i got a Neumann BCM 104 for 500 bucks. In mexico where I live.
But I think they sound as or better as the tlm 103 is just not so famous.
And some say u can't really tell much difference from a u87 (for what I heard lol)
I do like the sound. But maybe because it compliments my voice a little. Not that I'm that good of a singer.
Why don't you like it?
@@RecordingStudioLoser Ilike how u don't bother. When I knew enough about them. I felt my studio wasn't legit until i bought one. Maybe I'm just consumist. I dunno haha.
What do you think of Slate ML1
I’d love to try it. I hope it’s more reliable than the raven. (I’ve been through 2)
@@RecordingStudioLoser I do have it. I enjoy it quite a bit. I also have the U87 which I love for a classic sound especially for my acousticlol. The Slate plugins are amazing for someone like me who has to be more in the box combined with the SSL plugs I have with my SSL2. Thank you for responding
Wth you got the Schoeps for free 😳🤯
Crazy luck!!!!!!
They are superb overhead mics
RE: Gefell UMT70 repair. I went down the rabbit hole to figure out a repair for a UM70s that a buddy of mine let me borrow for a session. In haste I pulled a cable trying to make a run change and his mic hit the floor (no sandbag). Our long search basically led us to having to send the mic to the factory in Germany. It was expensive and it took a long time for the process to be completed. But as far as I know that’s the only real way to get it fixed back to spec. All of the research I did suggested that Gefell is very shy about outsourcing any of their proprietary products and that specific mic requires proprietary tools to be disassembled safely/properly. I think it cost about $800 in 2019 including shipping and insurance. Half the price of a new one (they still make the UM70t afaik) but still a chunk of change. All to say get it fixed when you can! A fantastic mic. Just take a lot of care when using cuz getting them repaired is a pain. Cheers
