The 416 is a fantastic microphone. Thanks for the podcast

You’re very welcome. The 416 may not be my favorite mic of all time but it is a true, essential VO super tool. It really is fantastic.

The 104 is a sweet mic. Picked mine up for a ridiculous deal and it punches above. Very nice. The 416 is part of my travel setup simply because it's so robust. And you're so right about mic technique.

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Right on! Thank you! You could practically get done almost everything with just a 416 and a 104.

Love hearing my old pal Don LaFontaine on the intro! Man, haven't heard his voice in so many years. Hush app is damn amazing, ain't it? Yet another reason to use Mac!

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Hey George, where do we start a petition to get a Don LaDontaine statue erected at Century City plaza? Hush is a miracle wrapped in a promise, rolled in soy paper and topped with mango. Bet it’s the cause of a vibrant used M1 Mac market.

Hey George! How do we get a petition started to get a statue of Don put up at Century City Plaza? So true about Hush. It's a miracle, wrapped in a promise, then rolled in soy paper and topped with mango.

Ernie is beyond a legend , of of the top 2 or 3 voices for a very long time

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

You're right. Beyond legend. Truly, if there was a V.O. Mount Rushmore, he'd be right there on it.

LMAO!! this reminded me of high school in the 90's. Gold!

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

It's exactly like high school in the 90s except nobody is playing Limp Bizkit without getting a wedgie and shoved in a locker.

Don't know if any one mentioned this, but they are also releasing the BCM 705 M in black as well.

Curtis! Hey man! That’s very cool. I hadn’t heard that. Thanks!

Mentioning two of my favorite mics in the same podcast, YAAA! Hope you are well pally. I promo what you do often (well, when I remember to) and your VO's for RNI get used every show, for which I THANK YOU once again... be well!

OMG, Mark, that fusillade of insults at around 18 minutes was worthy of the best of Cyrano! What does a 416 mic drop sound like?

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Thanks, man! You know what it sounds like?.... BOOOM! That's what it sounds like. LOL

@jarredcannon Ай бұрын

It sounds great Mark and I was surprised by the emergency recording! Hush is still King! I love how you refer to the 416 as a supertool. That reflects my own thoughts. I think I sound good on it, but it's almost never my favorite and frankly I don't find it fun, but when you view it as a "tool" rather than fun, (and if you're really careful) the result is both well known and reliable. The proof of it is in the pudding! Thanks for this. Maybe I should use mine a little more!

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Jar! That's a great point. It's not a "fun" mic. It's very utilitarian in nature. It's like wearing a prosthetic for acting. You can't play Quasimodo without the hump on your back and nobody said wearing it through the shoot would be fun, but it gets the job done.

Man that outro song 😂😂😂 Man I laughed! Fantastic episode! I have the sphere dlx and often use the 416 model for VO/podcast work. You sound fantastic on this 416 Mark!

Thank you so much, Calvin! Finally someone noticed the outro song! LOL!

I love the 416

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Me too. People who don't get why it works so well for VO are stuck in a delusion, wrapped up in a psychosis and hand dipped in lack of experience. The 416 is FIRE.

For awhile I thought Neumann would stop producing BCM104, the grill was no longer manufactured as a replacement part (Neumann BCK Replacement Headgrille).

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

That’s really interesting. I had no idea. I wonder if they somehow changed the way they are made or where they are manufactured under the new CEO.

Thanks Greg! I hope you took notes because there is going to be a quiz.

@marmaladecreammedia Ай бұрын

The 416 is like a tubescreamer. There's more elegant ways to do it nowadays, but it doesn't make it wrong.

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

Tube Screamer is a great analogy. 416 for up close VO work was probably the best accidental discovery since the invention of Buffalo Wings.

Got to ask, are you doing the Don la Fontaine expression?

@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Ай бұрын

That intro, my good man, is just one of the many extremely cool things the late, great Don LaFontaine cut for me back around the mid-to-late 2000’s. I could only dream of being able to do that voice. My VO career has always been a tribute to my old pal who inspired me to try so I pay homage to him by opening each show with his iconic pipes.

@Dracomies Ай бұрын

No that's the real deal guy. He recorded it for him!

@gooaygar Ай бұрын

So freaking cool! I discovered ya like a few years back, but i was like, is that Don? No way... but i am so glad my ears didn't fail me.
