Be cautious!

wait how does he even keep it up there?

@@mysiph Pinch the eyebrow...

Obviously.

Same

Holy shit

Obviously he can’t read without glasses - happens to all of us sooner or later. So maybe he only half wants to admit to himself that he’s getting older?

Same here! haha

@@skakdosmer or maybe he is just cool as fuck

😂😂😂

😂

I always wanted a monocle as a kid

@@theoutsiderjess4869 now I also want 1

🤣

😂

oh yeah thats the tingles

Same! 57 has a lift that makes it prominent in a mix.

Omfg so true

HAHAH yes!

My pleasure!

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, thanks!

Thanks for the info.

I was thinking about buying a sm57. As soon as I read "McCartney used one" I made up my mind

Probably you've heard that Mccartney has used the SM7 for his vocals. The SM57 is mainly for instruments

Are you gay?

Glad it was helpful!

Glad to hear it!

thought the same

Thanks for the sub!

It will be fine, though you may need a pop filter for vocals, but maybe not! Use it, listen with good headphones, and see.

@@AntonBrowne i own a pop filter as it came with my mic stand i will try to intergrate it into my recordings

Please do!

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

@@AntonBrowne it was! Just bought an SM57. :)

Sounds like a plan to me!

Thanks for watching.

Then try for yourself - easy enough as most everybody stocks them.

Thanks!

How would the guitar be recorded without the microphone though? (I legit have no idea how else guitars are recorded, could you please enlighten me?)

@@thisissonotafakeaccount I would be plugging the guitar into an audio unit, which is linked to the computer by a USB cable. This unit amplifies the signal and allows you to adjust levels. Take a took at the Roland Quad Capture. Then software on the computer is told too listen to the guitar and then record if you want.

Thanks for your extensive comment and info, which inspired my recent video.

Thank you. Each to his own but I figure this is kind-of 'art' as is music making in some aspects. I'm too slow/detailed/considered and sometimes just wrong for some. I try to be thorough because folk can skip or stop. I'm glad you enjoy my offerings.

Hah, cheers!

Basically.

Hey bro so sm57 its not recommend for live voc?

@@bagikertas1028 not without foam or pop filter. Many singers used SM57 for recording and as you can hear in this great comparison differences between SM57 and SM58 are very subtle (at least to my ears). Therefore I will be not buying SM58 as I already have SM57. What I will probably get though is genuine Shure foam designed for SM57 coded as A2WS.

It really depends on what you want and enjoy. I really enjoy the detail many times, but it doesn't suit my blues stuff so well - you can always degrade a sound later, but you can't upgrade it later. I too shun auto-tune (for better or worse) along with compression, most eq, and other processing, apart from reverb, but I'm used to playing live and try as best to get stuff right as I play/sing it. Regarding the monocle, you need to get the right size or it's a pain. Even with the right size, I find it best for reading menus, wine lists, my phone, watch, camera dials, bus and train timetables etc. in other words fairly brief stuff. I recently had my eyes tested and took advantage of an offer on varifocals. I understand how they work and have practiced but I find them never quite right for anything and I don't like wearing them when out and about, they make things a bit unreal so... Out and about I use my eyes as they are and I feel comfortable, I have the monocle with me for uses above. I have some weak Pound Shop readers in the van for driving and some stronger ones at home for reading. So far, so good!

@@AntonBrowne Fair comment re the detail. Maybe I'm just trying to excuse my own sloppiness. I'm pretty much past it anyway . Arthritic hands mean I can't use my pinkie so a lot of the guitar playing I used to do is out. I know about Django, but I'm no Django, so I do what I can and any sound I can make is a bonus Also, I bet few knew youtube was a good place to discuss monocles ! I'm googling tonight and might end up giving one another go

Bless you.

What did you end up getting?

Shure Beta 57A mate, coz they can be used on vocals, just look at early David Grey, Liam Gallagher shows and they are ace for guitar cabinets, drums, ect

large diaphragm condenser for studio vocal can sound really good something like tlm 103

Thank you, glad you stayed.

Or you could get a 58 and unscrew the grille when using it for instruments!

Thanks!

😂😂😂

Lol

😂😂

RadioTöuer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Coming round to the side, coming round to the side, you can hear the rejection coming, nice rejection going on there!... sounds like a football match commentary 😂

I think they are much the same regarding nasality.

Hi, I would go for the SM58. When recording instruments that don't have wind blasts, you could try unscrewing the SM58 grille, for a slightly clearer sound. All the best, Anton

I think they are close enough that if you have a 58, stay with it.

@@AntonBrowne Thanks! I only wish somebody would talk about the Shure 85 with the ON/OFF switch, which I have. It is so incredible handy in terms of instantly silencing any feedback issues (a major problem with ANY mic), and so incredibly robust, that I have never had a malfunction with them in over 50-years. But nobody on the entire internet even talks about it. Weird.

@@AntonBrowne Just heard your vocals, btw. You have tremendous jazz chops, really unique! You should already be under contract by someone.

It's an Earthworks SV33.

@Andy Smith I have two shure sm57 with the a81ws windscreens on them.

I've never used the Sennheiser e906 but it looks good on paper. The sE V7X is inexpensive and worth a listen.

I think you are right, I see the 58 & 57 as the 'Telecasters' of the microphone world!

I like to use them along with a SDC on my guitar amp for metal. With the 57 on the edge of the cap and the SDC near the center of the cone.

Dustin Mulligan a review says sm7b is the better option n i am confused. plus do we need a cloud filter as well?

@@ecedorsay 7b is a higher quality mic than the sm57 ot 58. I just haven't ever used it. I would assume it's good. Basically, I'm just saying dynamic over compressor in untreatd room. I don't need a cloud filter for my mics, but they do push the limits of the Behringer interface. I do get away with enough headroom/noisefloor for sure though. A cloudfilter I bet would make them sound even better though. I cant speak to the 7b. From audio tests on KZfaq the 7b doesnt sound better really, just different. I don't think it justifies the price increase, but that's a matter of opinion and most consider it the better mic.

Dustin Mulligan So maybe a sm57 n 58 would be enough to record my acoustic guitar and vocals in an untreated room. Not a demo but for an album. i also have rode condenser stage mic. hand held type. confused about what to get for my untreated room.

@@ecedorsay I don't even bother with condensers in my untreated room. Here hold on. I just wrote a massive reply to someone else. I will paste it here, I go into detail. He basically wanted to know if he should get condesnser or dynamics for his untreated room, and my answer is insnaely releveant to your question: "Here is my experience. 4 or 5 years ago I bought a condenser. I have an untreated room. The highs were out of control, and so I had to cut off a lot of top end, resulting in muddy mixes. Or roll off the bottom end because it didn't handle lows well either. My mixes came out very mid heavy, and bland in hindsight. I got another condenser after, but didn't help much. Granted, the condenser was a Blue Nessie USB mic ($100 CAD) and aren't known to be very good quality. Still I was disappointed at how much I had to process the signals to get them sounding bearable. Super harsh otherwise. PIcked up traffic, creaks and fret noise, fans etc. I record vocals and acoustic btw. I didn't do much research at the time, and the general consensus is, use condenser for acoustic/vocal. That's ideal, but doesn't take into account untreated rooms. About a year ago I got an sm57 and a low cost interface (umc204hd) and was instantly sooo much happier with the quality. So much more dynamic range to play with, which just occured to me is why they call them dynamic I guess. Not long after I got the 58. They isolate really well, so one pointed down at my guitar, one upwards for vocals and I can get really good isolated mono tracks for vox and guitar, with the benefit of a live performance.... My mixes sound great, like passable for a live mainstream album, ALMOST. haha. They also pair well for stereo guitar tracks. The sm57 sounds quite rich to me. Maybe not as rich as the RE20, but it has a nice warm almost fuzzy quality to it. It suits my singing really well, and my tuned down guitar. Sm 58 is nearly the same, and little brighter. If recording music, maybe consider two mics if you can afford it. Also dynamics are tough, which is great actually if you are moving them around a lot. Condensers would not survive the way I'm able to handle the sm mics. The thing I noticed with condensers, is when you have to start cutting away frequencies to make up for an untreated room, you lose dynamic frequency range and that kills a mix. You are left with no room to alter the signal how you really want it. Also background hiss is a huge problem leaving you with either a super quiet clean mix, or adequate volume but with background hiss. The hiss sounds bad and makes mixing a drag. One thing I noticed, these clean dynamic signals are much more responsive to plugins and you can easily make mixes sound rich and full with some good EQ, compression, reverb, tape saturation, the whole nine yards if you want. The FAB plugins are solid... Anyhow I hope this helps a bit. I am not against condensers and don't know what your using them for, but for my situation, dynamics all the way, hands down."

@@d-rockanomaly9243 thank you. A top comment.

Shure says they are the same apart from the grille, I will check mine in due course.

I suspect the grill on the 58 is acting like a "faraday cage" and blocking out interferences from things around u.😊

I would get the sE V7 in your situation.

@@AntonBrowne thanks! I’ll look into it! You’re the first to give me this option. Many said either sm57 or 58 or audio technica at2020

May as well get a 58 and if you need to use it on instruments, remove the grille.

@@AntonBrowne Thanks for the advice

Yes you can, and people do. You may need to keep quite close to it for sufficient signal.

Thanks!

Earthworks SV33.

Hi Peter, I'm no guitar recording expert but I probably wouldn't choose a dynamic - too sluggish and coloured for an acoustic. I would look at a ribbon or condenser. Beyer have some vintage ribbons worth trying or maybe try any modern condenser that isn't hyped to death. I'm sure the SV33 would be great but it's pricey. All the best, Anton

Anton Browne thank you so much for your input. I love your channel. Keep on keepin’ on. Your channel will grow.

Unless you have isolated and sound proofed your recording environment I would go for the dynamic personally a 57 or a 58 are both excellent on acoustic guitars as they have the same capsule or a similar cost would be an Audix i5 a very nice dynamic with a slightly wider frequency response than the 57/8. My main problem with the shures is the amount of fakes out there I have just been on eBay and spotted a few and as for Amazon stay well clear. If your recording environment is good a pencil condenser like a Rode M5 is around the same price point. Lots of vids on KZfaq of 57s in front of acoustic guitars a little eq and your away.
