Manley is phenomenal! I got one in my studio!!

@tiffanyanthony 26 күн бұрын

My ear really enjoyed the Neumann. The others sounded too tinny or too nasally. I’m stuck with a budget $99 Shure mic, but I love it.

@nulu08 Ай бұрын

The two 87s and the Manley sounded the best!

I tried a blind listen for pre and post processing. The Manley was a consistent 3 stars for me. U87 jumped from 1 start to 3 stars after processing. Lastly, the NT1A (which I own several of) was a consistent 2.5 stars and was great for the basic overall tone IMO. Great video!

Agreed! Thanks for watching :)

Great video.The Neuman U 87 has been the most used mic on all top artist recordings.It’s still the most requested mic by many top vocal artist.

@TRXST.ISSUES Ай бұрын

What's interesting is the Manley sounded more dynamic and alive in solo, but the U87 sounded so much better in the context of a mix.

@bigacreations Ай бұрын

Yes!!

@DRETD2124 Ай бұрын

U87 sounds the clear best to my ears. The NT1A is amazing though!

@bigacreations Ай бұрын

It really holds up so well, doesn’t it?

@kelvynification Ай бұрын

The Manley sounded better on the first two lines - reducing the nasal tone of the vocal pleasantly - whereas the U87 sounded better on the last two lines - reducing the the muddy low frequencies - The Manley is generally warmer sounding with less pronounced mids than the U87. The U87 can be extremely problematic for vocalists with a nasally tone. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the U87 for your voice. Maybe try Soyuz. Great vocals by the way:)

Good video great song! Proof, a cheap mic can do a great job. The success of your song will not be impacted by the difference between a $100 mic versus a $4,000 mic. Producers are nuts arguing you need an expensive mic to be successful.

@bigacreations Ай бұрын

Thank you ☺️ And yes, you’re speaking facts! The gap between affordable and higher end mics is so much narrower than it used to be.

Great work, I actually got the NT-1A cause of you.. I asked you years back. Yup, I got that joka.. lol.. Outstanding video..

I liked the Neumann U87 on your voice. On second listen I liked the Neumann even more. For my ear a bit clearer in the highs than your Rode NT1A. Thought the AKG close but not as smooth as the Neuman. Mojive MA300 a bit closer to the Neuman but not as good. WA87 lost clearity with your voice (fuzzy sounding). With the Manley think your voice lost it's lighter feel; more low end didn't compliment. For me Neuman U87 was far better for your voice and the mix. I recently bought a Telefunken TF51 that I think compliments my voice.

@bigacreations Ай бұрын

Great observations! Thanks for watching :) The U87 might be the one for me personally

@NaweedQadirdotcom Ай бұрын

Hi Valentina, this is a beautiful song and, as always, a highly informative video. I use NT1A. I also use Townsend Labs Sphere L22 Modelling Microphone (UAD DLX). I find it a great-sounding microphone and the modeling works close to 80% of the original. Any thoughts about it?

@bigacreations Ай бұрын

Thanks! I actually haven’t used it so can’t share any thought on it! I’ll let you know if I do :)
