Thanks for the feedback, I will try to do this more often

RIght, it sounds fantastic!

I peeped that! I hope somebody does a side by side comparison

Also, I think ur music is dope. How/where can I find it?? Also, I'm an artist myself. I just released my first ever official release on all platforms. Song name is "MOON DANCIN" by:Hunned. I swear I'm not tryna promote on ur channel, but I want chu to hear it, and if u like my style of artistry, I would love to collab on a song with you, if your ever Into that kinda thing. Ur voice is amazing bro💯💪🏽. Much luv and respect 🙏🏼

I'm happy you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching!

Not yet, it's actually my verse from a friend's record. It should be out soon though

Thank you, I appreciate you for watching!

I agree, I think I said that in the review as well. It sounds more like an AKG C12. It’s not a bad sounding mic at all. Thank you for leaving a comment

Hey, how are you? Hope your safe and well. I actually got to assist a recording session with Uzi before and I know the chain his engineer asked for was a U87, into Avalon 737. I don't know if I can recommend either for what you're trying to do. If you want a tube mic go with 47 but I think you might find more value in a U87 style of microphone

@@AtmosphereAudio You nailed it exactly. The proximity effect on a u87 is a large part of the modern “Travis Scott” style vocals . Really hard to get that from the tube mics since the the tube mics really excel at capturing the air and clarity across the top . For what he wants it needs to be the 87

It's actually my verse on my friend's song. I have no idea when or if he'll release it

Actually remember how in my video I mentioned the mic sound more like an AKG C12VR then a it does a Telefunken ELA M 251? Well I used a stereo pair of C12's for Overheads before and it sounded great. I don't see why this mic couldn't perform the same way. In my personal opinion though I always Preferred AKG 414s or U87s for Overheads, the C12s as room Mics.

Thanks I definitely will

I mic'd up the acoustic. It is definitely possible to record vocals and acoustic. It can record pretty low frequencies that a guitar would produce

Mac

Thank you, i'm happy you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately I have not used that Mic. The only mic I have used from Lauten Audio is the Eden, I looooooove that mic. Sorry about that

@@AtmosphereAudio all good man. thanks for the response and keep up the good work.

So it's funny that you mention the upside down mic. So tube mics are the one mic that benefit from being upside down because of the tube inside the mic. Hot air rises and if the tube heats up then the diaphragm will heat up as well. So If you put the mic upside down you can have the heat from the tube not heat up your mics diaphragm. A hot diaphragm could lower the sound quality. Regular condenser mics just look cool upside down, no real benefit. Thanks for watching the video!!!

Interesting! I never knew that; just thought it was a stylistic choice.

i think the WA251 with the WA73EQ is the better option. To put it simple a pre-amp will make a world of difference. Plugging an expensive mic into a converter (interface) is doing the expensive mic a disservice. This is my opinion though, so take that with a grain of salt

@@AtmosphereAudio Probably depends more on your goals. Preamps add something to the signal. How much depends on the preamp. For some applications you may want the mic to be the only factor. For many vocals though I would think you would mostly benefit from it.

@@CHAOSMOVEMENT I mean i don't disagree with you at all on that point. I would just say most Interface pres are pretty limiting to mics. An expensive mic might sound cheap because there is no external Pre. It's my personal opinion at the end of the day but I find most vocals without a pre pretty underwhelming

@@AtmosphereAudio Surely, I would concede that most digital interface preamps are not sufficient. I have both a Focusrite Scarlett Octopre Dynamic and an RME Fireface UFX II, so my take on using those preamps independently are certainly bias and outside the realm of the bulk of home studio users.

@@CHAOSMOVEMENT I understand, you made some really great points. Most people will honestly not hear a difference at first but once you do there is no turning back

You may hear a difference but I don't feel like you will feel the need to immediatly

This is just my opinion but i'm not a fan of the TLM 103 on vocals. I feel like it's too sibilant for my taste. I know a lot of people like them because of the boosted mids. For the price of that mic I would just save up and get a Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387 which gives you three flavors of mic in one package

Personally yes, a lot of that has to do with comfort and me being heavily integrated into the Apollo Ecosystem. I use the Apollo mainly as a converter nowadays. I'm not a fan of Unison preamps but I'm a huge fan of every other plugin because it does a decent enough job compared to analog.

I feel like if you compare apples to apples the Neve sounds better, but with that being said I think for the pice you won't be disappointed because it sounds close enough. The higher end BAE and Stam Audio reproductions are by far the best clones. The warm is this best bang for the buck though

SNTI oh i meant the Uad 1073 plugin in unison vs the wa73 :)

@@Daviddosi Honestly the WA73 smokes the plug-in

SNTI cool! I got the Apollo a few months ago. I Love the reverbs and compressors But i Felt the preamp in unison was a bit ”meh” i have a isa one preamp But i love the Smooth Neve sound though

@@Daviddosi I agree, I have never been a huge fan of a digital Pre-Amp. I just don't feel like you can get the sonic characteristic of an amp with out that circuitry. For example, the gain of a preamp can't be replicated when it can only gain up as much as the real preamp inside the unit allows, also you can't replicate a tube when there are no tubes inside the unit. Just my opinion at the end of the day but I have been using the Apollo and analog pres for years so I feel like my opinion does hold some weight. I hope I was helpful to you :)

Recently added a Klark Teknik 76-KT and it is wonderful

Hello Jack, the answer your question is simple. No you cannot. All Tube microphones require a power supply because of the power required to drive a tube and the components. Technically speaking all Condenser microphones require a type of power supply in a way, when ever you turn on 48v or phantom power that's technically a power supply for the mic. The exceptions to this rule are Dynamic microphones and Most Ribbon Microphones, which even then depending on your preamplifier, you might need to add a "sound level Booster" in order to get these microphones to a usable sound level. Hope this helped!

@@AtmosphereAudio Thank you sir

@@AtmosphereAudio Also can i still run the mic with no powersupply but with an audio interface with 48v phantom power on? And if so would it affecr the audio?

@@reverse_6167 No, it needs to use the dedicate power supply to function

@@AtmosphereAudio Thank you sir

I just brought the apollo twin x duo and i wanna know your opinion based off what I need? Thanks man

Here's my personal opinion! The WA-251 is a great versatile mic but it's not my first choice for overall versatility. I think that you may find more value in a WA-87. In my audio example I did a lot more singing which I think this is where this mic shines, i'm confident I can get a great rap sound but I would prefer the versatility and ease of a u87. Hope I helped

I just ordered the wa-251.... I hope I'm able to still achieve the sound i want with rap as well as singing and guitar

@@IamGft3d I'm sure you'll get your money's worth!

@@IamGft3d Do you like it?

I like the TF51 more. Sounds more expensive to my ears but for Rap in general I feel like the 251 and Telefunken tf51 lack body. I would prefer to go with something like a u87 like mic for that specific use case? With that being said I do use my wa251 for rap vocals at times but I generally grab my SM7b for rap. Maybe try the TF29? I like that one for rap vocals as well.

@@AtmosphereAudio was planning on spending around $2k, so would you say the TF29 is the best value for rap? i was also going to grab the apolla twin x quad to pair w it. I think the u87 is a little out of my price range

@@MrClutchDADDY I don't think it's the best Value. Value to me is defined by price to performance meaning that at what point does spending more money stop equating to more performance? I think that a U87 clone gives you the most amount of value simply because picking out the differences becomes harder in a blind test. My personal favorites are the Stam 87 (Favorite), Peluso 87 (Runner up), the Warm Audio WA87 (doesn't sound like a u87 to me because the top end is a bit brighter) and if you're handy a DIY kit such as the Mic Mod u87 can save you quite a bit of money and give you a lot of value. If I could recommend any I would say go with the Stam. It's under $1000 and it sounds closest to a U87 IMO

@@AtmosphereAudio have you used the TLM 103 before? narrowed it down to that and the U87

@@MrClutchDADDY i've used it many times. I kinda hate the TLM 103 lol. It's not that it's a bad mic but I just don't think that it's worth what the price tag indicates. I just think the mic is super bright, which is okay on the right application such an acoustic guitar, It lacks in detail in other frequencies. I have made it sound good paired with a Avalon 737 which is pretty dark but that's kind of working backwards in my opinion. I would go for a U87 99% of the time for most applications if I had to choose between the two. Just to keep emphasizing my hate I think an SM7 has more value the TLM 103 😂

NO the chain was a U87, into Vintech X73 (Neve 1073 Clone), into EL8 Distressor in Opto Mode!

Also I wanted to specify that on that specific record I tracked the MEECH's parts. Hook, Verse, and Adlibs

Very dope!!!!

I like both for different use cases. The 251 is more of a modern sounding mic in my opinion and the WA-47 sounds classic. If I had to choose one I would go with the 251

SNTI Quick Reply! Thanks I did some research and it seems that’s the best budget friendly microphone aswell, just ordered!

@@diegoalvarado8582 I hope that you enjoy it, if you don't let me know. Also let me know if you have the same issues with the power supply that I did

SNTI I received it about an hour ago and the power supply isn’t giving me the same issues, it’s held on tight. Try reaching out to warm or using a different MSL-107 power cord

@@diegoalvarado8582 That's great to hear. Enjoy the mic!

Yeah there seems to be a quality control issue there 😐

I didn't have a dedicated mic at the time, I do now. I know it sound the best but horrible is a really harsh way to describe it man... It's really "that" bad?

To answer your question, it was simply because I wasn't looking at the mic when I was speaking. A lot of my videos are experimenting till I find what works for me and what you guys like. I take everyone's feedback very seriously

@@AtmosphereAudio no it doesn’t sound that bad.

Hello, which microphones would you recommend over these WA models? I would definitely appreciate the advice 🙏🏼

@@manuellujan5625 anything from Stam Audio is good. I deal with mics in my commercial studio every day that run a very wide price range. With microphones you really typically do get what you pay for for the most part compared to a lot of other Audio products. If you only have a few hundred dollars to buy something then something from WA may suit your needs. But it still sounds cheap to me. The Bock/Soundelux 151/251c are fantastic values and can give you the build quality that will last and they are built by the guy that was in charge of refurbishing the original Vintage Telefunken mics for them for 20 years. Find one of those mics if you want that sound. I think I paid around $2,000 US for my 251c. If that is still out of your price range look into the ADK mics. Incredible build quality. I have a good friend of mine that has a whole locker full of those various models and loves them. The other thing I would possibly look for would be a Paluso 251.
