Neumanns are great mics…..however it’s not a must have. I ended up ditching my TLM103 just because it was so detailed it picked up all the imperfections of my room. My Shure SM7b ended up being better for my recording environment (not saying it’s a superior mic, it just worked better for me).

I've heard that for people who don't have a good soundproofing or sound-absorbing environment , if the microphone sensitivity is too high, it can be bad because it picks up the sound of the air conditioner, reverberation, and even outside noise. (I've never used a high quality microphone so I have no experience testing it..) In any case, it's a good idea to improve my vocal skills. An artist like you with a high quality microphone would be a double advantage!

87 has more low end. 87 waveform shows more signal. I owned the Rode NT1A when it was first introduced. I just didn't like it for my room. I ended up with a TLM 103. It just works, as long as I record in a near dead space.

You have a beautiful voice.

I own one, it’s more mid focused, brings the mids to the front and the high end is smooth

Hey Velentina, I live here in Indiana and have friends and colleges as well as myself that all have bought from Sweetwater and I know those guys are top notch.. knowing that they just sent you the equipment for you to review is how they are plus you can trust them 1000%. Keep bring us the amazing content and hope one day I get to see you at a gearfest one of these years..

Really good song, it fits your voice well

Nice video, just subscribed to your channel, I have the Rode Nt1A and for the price I have no complaints at all, I have the Neumann TLM 103 also, imo yes, it sounds better but the Rode defintetely gets the job done after some eq, compression etc, I like your song and voice too btw

I can hear the difference from my phone. Excellent video

Vale u are so talented

use 2 pop filters with the nt1 it'll make a huge difference with the hi's

I love this song! Generally when channels like this show their music, it's not for me. This song on the other hand, fantastic. On another note, if you were to break it down into a percentage, how much would you weigh room treatment vs the mic itself? Unless you're an audio engineer (I'm assuming that you are one), you can't hide all of the bad frequencies that a room can pick up. If you can make your Rode NT1a sound that incredible, you obviously know exactly what you're doing. I have a Rode NT1 5th Generation, and we have a hate-hate relationship, to say the least... I've watched TONS of KZfaq videos over the past few years, and most of the videos teaching about plugins/mics/etc, generally don't have particularly good audio (even Dan Worrall and Mike Russell's audio both come in WAY too hot, like I'm listening to spicy cinnamon candy). How are you getting such perfect audio on your KZfaq channel?

I ditched my U87 and Avalon preamp years ago for a USB mic. I prefer no coloration on vocals on the way in.

def worth not much eq needed after at all and sounds very full and natural def one of the best mics under that id say Lauten Audio Atlantis FC 387

thanks so much

the u87 is more present. nt1 is def a good mic also

3:47 Rode. 4:02 Nuem.

but nothing against Neumann tho , this is not a bash , a lot of great records been cut with them, but what your paying for at this day and age is the name , modern technology evolved and is much more advanced no that u can get away using less expensive gear .

Had one for years

sounds more full to me

Wizkhalifa mgk uses it all time or he uses the sm7b I noticed in studio

Yep, can see why the U-87 is the king of the jungle...

How in the hell is the NT1-A still in that range smh definitely not worth it now

Are you at a proper distance from the mics?

Neumann is way much more better for your voice on low mid Ride has an artificially boost on you low mids. PS. I'll been listening U87 more then 30 years.

Neumann and not newmann LOL ihave both the U87Ai and Röde NT 1

I think there are enough videos about this question. Why make another one in 2024?

U87 better

Never trust paid ad reviews 🙄

It’s not in my recording studio. Would anyone like to send me one, so I’m not, ya know… left out? 😆
