I think it's one of your best sounding tracks - that mic added a certain warmth to everything - almost vintage warmth. lovely.

Very impressive results for a kick mic! And every time man... I'm impressed by your production, arrangements and overall playing skills. Looking forward for the next one, Cheers!

Amazing….. we missed your reviews …so glad you put a new one up. Song is really amazing !!!! Great sound!!!

Very impressive review! Your creativity and skills are awesome and inspiring!👍 BTW the Beyerdynamic TG D50d was also a Kick mic with universal capabilities due to an inbuilt EQ switch

Incredible mic review. Entiretrck with a KICK DRUM MIC! And totally diggin the Sting vibe on this track.

Awsome, i check every day for your videos 😅, glad you´re here again, nice work, i didnt know anything about that brand (DPA) after seeing your videos i want all of them, sounds amazing in your hands, cheers!.

Another great review as always!

Wow the thing that I came away with from this video was you get a lot of cohesion from the sound of one microphone for everything on a song. Would be cool to do for one short song on an album, using a mic that’s not present elsewhere on the album. Takes you to a new world really quickly.

It’s amazing how this mic suits your voice the best

wow, that is pretty incredible sounding very rich and natural, gotta get this mic

This is also a huge, huge advertisement for the EC2. Crazy versatile and smooth! If you ever get a chance, I'd love to hear you demo a Chameleon Labs 7603! Pretty affordable take on the 1073 which is considered somewhat of a sleeper hit among people who own it.

So awesome!

I’d never have considered recording an entire track with a kick mic. Your track has come out surprisingly well. Nice work, Alec! I was imagining it would have been very woolly or weird. 👏

Good song and GOOD mic !

Another job well done! Definitely a smart move pairing the DPA with EC2. Dare we say extended frequency response!!! I’m quite familiar with the DPA/B+K products but the Cranbourne stuff is really starting to impress me.

I am loving this on guitar more than anything else! wow!

Thanks!

Awesome video - thanks for making it!

Amazing 👍

Sting singing Heatwave, I love your music man.

DPA mics are just fantastic.

When I was in the music production program in college in 1997 I walked into the second-year studio one evening and saw a group of students in my class experimenting with a D112 on vocals. I didn't say anything but I remember recoiling at the thought of using the "wrong" mic. 😂

Excelent content!😃 Really nice songs!👌

Thanks

cracking vid sir!

The mic and the review are fantastic as expected from your channel, but the song … absolutely amazing! I keep coming back to the review for the music! Is it available somewhere?

Did your singing get better, or is it the DPA making you sound a bit like Sting? Great performance! And incredibly surprising results from a kick drum mic! Thanks for putting in so much energy and time in your wonderful videos :-)

Try the AKG rocket. It is awesome on kick. The D202. Unmatched.

Great video as always and great track .. is it just me or would a small brass section be sweet in that chorus section? Keep the great reviews coming!

Hey Sting! 👋

Am I crazy or is this an amazing vocal mic? From just a listeners perspective this sounded better on your voice than some of the more expensive vocal mics you have reviewed. Which makes me think this mic may be similar to a Beyer M88 another kick mic that is amazing on vocals.

This was so fascinating! I’m not recording live drums in my space yet, but this will definitely be on my mind when I do. Slight side question for you: do you use open-back headphones at all when mixing, and if so, which do you use? I’m looking to upgrade mine.

What kind of snare is that sounds really good, the mic is also killer.

Where can I buy the track you are playing? Sound great 👍

Studiocare won't sponsor me lol. Nice Mic btw : )

Now do this with a Beta 52A 😂

Actually thought the weakest use of the DPA on this track was kick hahaha

Here's the problem with these one mic videos: Alec is too good an engineer and artist. Also, he obviously signed a deal with a dark entity. That's the only sensible explanation.
