that blurred mic appears to be rode nt1a and Im pretty confident about it :P

one minute more of OooOoOooOOo OooOoOooOOo OooOoOooOOo 😵😵😵

This is one of the first times I've ever heard explain why or what qualities to listen for when choosing a microphone. Excellent video!!!

is the mic blurred because it's x-rated? Lol, sorry, I couldn't help myself!

Just your typical home studio.. always a hatd choice to go with the east- or with the westwing ;)

i love the arrangement of it... good video

Wow. This made me hear a little difference in my phones speakers. I'm so happy I'm enlightened now. Damn. Love it thank you

Compare: 1 - 2:12 2 - 3:29 3 - 5:58

nice poetic conceptual breakdown on studio mic choice

Such a great production!

Great videos. Thank you. Would love to hear what you can do with the Upright Piano there too! Best case scenario and ‘In a pinch’ single mic.

loving these videos! I've just started on my journey of home studio recording, I have bought a fairly cheap microphone (mxl440) to get started, I didn't want to splash out until I knew what I was doing. Thanks again

Thank you! Good tips!

well, I even tried comparison of HSMC001 (cost about 50€) vs vintage U87 (value at least 2500€) and when mixed into the whole rock song, the difference wasn't that groundbreaking, I think as sound engineer it's really important to listen and hear what's going on :)

Really, I know that about cheap mics :,D you can play with the EQ but never fix the harsh highs, I just love that on my electric guitar on high gain, but not on the voice. That last phrase, the perfect definition for the perfect microphone.

Thank you so much for the videos! My first mic I ever bought was a neumann 107 and i'm currently saving for a u87ai and a pair of km 184's. It's funny how you blurred that one microphone out though, haha.

Now that huuu huuuu huuu huuu is haunting me.. LOL kidding, great video and very helpful.. Thanks Neumann..

Hey, if your music/video gig don't work out, you might try Penn & Teller Fool Us...

0:13 ...I thought the mic would fall. damn. :)

Yeah I have MXL 2006 mic it’s hard to control the voice range ..and it’s socks in mix. I hope to get one of your mics some day 😭

It's all subjective, but I definitely feel like they should have gotten a louder vocalist, or instructed this one to do a louder song, because I feel like that's one of the biggest challenges in recording -- properly capturing loud, booming vocals. Which brings up the question, why do they have no acoustic treatments or foam on the wall? It appears that room would create some natural reverb with the stone walls and hard floors. I've always been told that you want the dryest signal possible, and a loud vocalist would probably create all sorts of reflections in that room.

This is one of the best ads I ever saw

very good information

Thank You 🙌🙌Very Helpful Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Great advices! What about setting an Home Studio with a Neumann u87 Ai linked to a Focusrite Clarett 2Pre? Those preamps are good enough for rocking the Neumann u87 Ai?

You can stop dzeuh clock, but please don't stop mrry heaeaaeahht.

Coolamundo. Thanks again.

awesome video!!

I subscribed, I love your videos man, one day I'll be able to afford a Neumann mic.....although I'm a rubbish mixer so not sure it would help :(

0:12 bruh almost knocked a $1000 mic off the box 😂

"One minute more... of melodramatic melody: Bruuuuuuuuhtallllllll.. bruuuuUhtuhl...."

microphone name???

Are you pixellating a competitor's mic in the background?

good stuff

My heart just broke Convinced the not good example is an aston mic. It's the same one I have. Wish I knew better.

Georg Neumann and Co. made the famous CMV-3 "Bottle" for Hitler. It was deisgend for delivering not just impact of his speech, but his emotions as well. It was an abstract concept to deliver "human emotions" before the Neumann's invention of the mic in 1928. No wonder Neumann is so good at it.

What is a mauchrephone ?

uh why is the mic blurred out?

Wasn't hard to see that was an MXL 2006..

Great

I need to know for Lyric Opera singer (Tenor / Baritone) what microphone/s do you recomend me???

I only have android app for my tablet and my phone so that I can sing with the piano and write a music notebook from Ez Voice because I love singing.

What's the difference in condenser, dynamic, and ribbon. I'm just starting to record beginner ! What microphone do you recommended ? Apogee 96k? I'm at home recording !

who finds the hooo hoo of singer irritating😕

which neumanns are they using? can't tell if the bigger one is a tlm49 and a smaller is one is tlm103? Or is the bigger on the 103 and smaller one the 102??

What kind of flex hd screen was on the floor? Where did you buy it? Please give me some information about the screen on the floor. Please!!!!

anyone know what that last microphone was?

coudl you have picked a worse song to have repeated over and over again ?? Im sure there was some good informatoin here but I couldnt get past the song

The blurred Mic looks like a Avantone BV12

hi.do I need mic preamp when using duet2 apogee for better sound? thanks.

The mic that is blurred is the MXL 2006. The MXL 2006 is known to have a brighter sound if you simply look at the frequency response. It's wrong to assume that all cheap condensers will have this bright sound. Also, we all know that female vocalist require a warmer sounding microphone and the MXL 2006 obviously isn't that. I am betting that the MXL 2006 was chosen because of its overly bright charterctiristcs in order to exaggerate the effect of overly bright microphones. Its not even the most common condenser microphone, I would say the most common is the RODE NT1A or the Audio Technica. If you chose any other mic, Rode NT1A, AT2020, MXL CR89, Gensis, etc, the difference will not be as obvious. There will be differences and I know the Neumann mic will def sound more smooth but not as obvious. I am not saying the TLM103 is a bad microphone because it's a great microphone but not all of us can afford it and exaggerating the difference between a cheaper condenser with an expensive one by purposely finding a super bright cheap condenser makes all of us feel like we can't record with anything but expensive condensers.

I wouldn't have probably even thing of buying a Neumann Mic (or an expensive mic in general) before I watched this.. But now that my TLM 102 replaced all the other crap mics I had, I feel I listen I sing that I did the right thing. ( I sound like a commercial lol )

why is the mic blurred ?

why there's a blur image on a mic?

why did they digitally mask out one of the mics?

Ummm it would have been nice if you told us what model she was singing thru.

what did you blur

Video has mic blocked out pointless

Why do we have to Configure-ate all microphones. That's so much money ! And how do we configure-ate

The vocal Mic I use is the one I own :/

Why is there no use of a vocal screen or reflector here? Not a criticism but a technical curiosity.

I have a Rode nt1a and with this mic I will try to record acustic (nylon) guitar, contrabass, vocals and mandolin. Is that too stupid?

To the few complaining about the singing, the way I think of it is, assume she's the backing singer to someone else's song.

who has a home like that? show hands.

Who is the girl ?

Good video, but don't step on the cables, man!

4:13 thats Rode K2 and its really horrible, I wish I would have seen this video earlier .

Next video without oooooooooooooohhhhhhhh plz! i beg you!

Her song is a one hit wonder

Mu KM 184 & TLM 193 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZOIi6R0rKe6lok.html

I'm more of a U87 man myself

Ich liebe Neumann Mics aber sie sind leider für mich unbezahlbar.

That annoying ooooooooo again.. agh!

I'm never buying that censored microphone!

He's George Lucas 1968

I have never heard such marketing mumbo-jumbo in all my life. He completely contradicts himself by saying that both mics “colour the sound” and yet you want something that’s natural! By doing a direct comparison with a mic that costs about £900 less, he’s convinced me that the difference is negligible….. this is clearly aimed at people who have more money than sense and who live in ginormous houses with huge stone walled rooms 😂

that is just not true. Metallica using sure , small diaphragm....sounds awesome. So, its about the voice talent. That mic in the video was too sibilant.

He is speaking in english, what is the little guy singing ???

Your jeans make me feel you are a dull company man. This is the problem with corporate types they must pay for coolness because they neglect it by brown nosing their direct manager.

UGH. YOU're so fucking cute!! AHHHHH

She reminds me of orange is the new black that one lesbian chick looks just like her 😍😍😍💕

best mic for her is Behringer B1

FFs mixed messages ahoy.

haha Rode K2

why is the singer so serious ? did you kidnap her pet or something to make sure she was into this ?

yes I can't buy 10 professional condenser mics, only to choose the best one for me

In the first lesson you advice is to use headphones.

Stooge, stepping all over the cables!

why the F is that mic BLurred out, terrible.

So much cringe

The hidden one looks exactly like my behringer b1... 🥲

If the performance is unlistenable due to it being ANNOYING , then I just pass . So it doesn’t matter what mic is used . But I LOVE MY TLM 107 .
