    Hey Warren, a bit off topic, but in the late 80's I worked for a very brief period at Mayfair recording studios as a tea boy/ tape op and I used to see your name on loads of multi tracks (Tears for Fears Sowing The Seeds and Woman in Chains) I used to think " Who IS this guy?" Well now I know! Amazing studio but I didn't last long there- I just wasn't mature or focused enough. I have a DAW now so love mixing and love watching your videos ❤

    What you’re saying about the quality of the music and the musicianship is so important. These days everybody’s talking about the mics, the preamps, the processing, etc., but really, if the music isn’t good, the recording quality doesn’t matter. I think maybe $100 is the threshold for a mic to get good quality.

    While I am not in market for mics they sounded really good along with a great song. The level of performance was top notch and I wish that would return to music full stop. Two thumbs up to guitarist/bass player for using a Mesa Boogie rig. He won me over just seeing that alone, because I'm a simple man 😂 but a Mesa Boogie man 😅

    Song, performance, production. On a related note; while the group used 47's on vocals, brian wilson used a shure 545 for leads on pet sounds. My point? A very inexpensive mic, even for back then proving it's not always the gear or cost. As long as the gear isn't scratchy, broken or pure junk, (even those might have their place, lol), great things are possible. Shure sm4 - a new one to me. Gonna take closer look. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers. 👍

    Great song, great performances. I downloaded the multitracks and did a mix by myself. It was really fun and I wanted to add it to my portfolio but Instagram refused to publish the song due to copyrights… I thought the multitracks by PLAP are free to use for building a portfolio. Can anybody help?

      Yes, the multitracks can be used on your website to promote yourself! However, they cannot be used for monetising, they are owned by the artist.

    I enjoyed this video and learned a fair bit - as usual with anything Warren makes - but it's really not a review of the SM4 in any way, shape, or form. The title's pretty misleading and silly. (Also was anything recorded in a home studio besides the vocals, again despite the title?)
    "Working with the new SM4" or something like that would actually represent what it's the video. And, hey, what a valuable kind of video to make - there's often loads of actual review videos where you only hear the mic in isolation. Seeing how it might fit into a pro studio workflow's and a whole recording mix is valuable.
    But if someone came here looking to learn much about the SM4 in itself or how it might be useful for their home recording, I think they're gonna be disappointed and need to look elsewhere.

    • @Producelikeapro

      The drums were recorded in an untreated rehearsal room with a lap top and an 8 input 10 year old Focusrite interface (in the same room wearing headphones) couldn’t more basic than that! The vocals were recorded in a home studio, as were the guitars and bass in 2 input low budget interfaces.
