Can you take a fretboard off a normal guitar and use that?

Awesome. Both mics sound nice on their own and that could be further optimized with placement. EG: The extinct audio would offer more clarity and high end say pointing at 12th fret They sound awesome together in those positions and you could obviously play with levels to fit it in a busy mix.

Happy birthday!!! I’m 19 hours late!!

Bridge is rosewood, not mahogany

Happy birthday 🎉

happy birthday!

Lovely song.

Beautiful sound, lovely playing, haunting voice - I also came to hear the mic but stuck around to hear you!

Hey Fabian, firstly, beautiful recording and playing! You have an intimate, honeyed quality to your voice that reminds me of Iron & Wine's Sam Beam in the best possible way (one of my favourite vocalists). I was wondering how you feel your BM9 compares to your NoHypes and which you gravitate towards, irrespective of the price difference? I am just getting into ribbons and it's been really helpful to watch your videos. To my ear watching your videos it seems the LRM-V is very old school, warm and fat and with the highs noticeably rolled off, immediate vintage vibes, while this BM9 is clearly a little more modern and picks up the sibilance in your voice more. I have a deep voice but produce a lot of sibilance, so I am torn as to whether to spring for the BM9 or to go for an LRM-V, which might be more forgiving but also less versatile for other sources. Any thoughts from you would be gratefully received, keep up the great work!

Really nice build! My only comment would be that the metal pickup surround will only block noise if you add a ground wire to it.

I prefer the sound of your Zoom recorder 😊

Great job my friend. Really loo forward to the mixing you do afterwards!

Wow, phenomenal video, you earned a new subscriber, great song and singing!

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your video/audio thought process and setup details, very helpful!

Great video, thanks! Useful to see all the little details like this.

My friend, that thing is truly awesome .!!. Sounds pretty amazing. 👍👍

Wooow... Never thought thst could be possible

Lovely song and performance too. Your guitar and vocals sound great. The visuals are soft and warm, and the song is excellent. I enjoyed this. Thank you.

Well done, this was a lot of fun to watch! Q: How often do you record to a click track when you record with the headphones?

Thank you Fabian

Spectacular video Fabian, this is what people want and need to know 🙌 top notch stuff mate. Thank you.

H i Fabian, very interesting. Now I know why your videos always sound (and look) so good. It's all in the preparation.

Very nice!

Great video, the end result was perfect!

Waited for this!!! Finally. Thank you!!!!

Appreciate you man

A good alternative would a Hiscox case from the UK or Reunion Blues soft case. I use both but traveling I’d say the Hiscox case.

Thanks for this. Great inspiration.

LR baggs Align reverb also has a very natural acoustic tone. check it out. this one is very close to it though for half the price

Just curious of the brand and model of acoustic? Thanks, Jeff

Hey Fabian, great video and amazing guitar playing as usual! I am looking to buy this portable mic and I found your great review. Do you know if it is possible to have the build-in reverb only while recording and keep the recorded track clean in order to add a higher quality reverb in post-processing. Cheers

Great.

What's the guitar model? Sounds dreamy.! 💜

Hey I also have a Km184 and i'm trying to mic my classical guitar students in some small concert venue. Mic is plugged into a 75W godin Acoustic amp, and i'm music my pickup guitar to play duo I got to say it's usually a nightmare feedback wise ;) There's just a 3 band EQ on the amp. Any tips you can give me to improve sound. As it is, I gotta keep the gain really low to avoid feedback and people can't hear very much the unplugged (km184) guitar. Thanks !

Great video. Great sounding guitar. I prefer Adirondack Spruce over cedar, but not by much. The builder is certainly important. I love your playing --rich, mellow, tasteful.

I don’t use picks when I play, just my fingers. I play a lot of traditional country and bluegrass, and I use spruce tops on my guitars. However, your playing was very nice. Thanks for a great video.

Hello from Poland👋🏻 Few months ago I just started recording some covers on my instagram music account, it's going well, but I feel that the sound quality is lacking. So far, I've just recorded with my iPhone, sound and image. I have just iphone 14pro, martin d10e, and my voice. I want to buy something like zoom to record. I can sing and play quite well I think, but I'm completely amateur in recording. I want to start a KZfaq channel with my covers and original song, but i need some better sound quality than smartphone microphone. Do you think zoom is enough for the start? Do I need something more to good record, at the moment? Thanks 😊

Great video. But what did you record your sound on for this video? Whatever it was, it sounded great.

Hey Fabian. Life got in the way last night so missed part of the stream. Thanks for answering my question, really appreciated. I had never heard of Martin Simpson, so glad to find more music out there. Cheers.

I checked some music samples at the site and there is a lot to go through to find the Frankenstein tune. I never found it. But I say, you've been busy !

is it only me or the volume is very low

can I record play along drumless, straight from zoom h4 recorder ?

Sir! is there any chance you might give a tutorial on the chords and how this piece?

Hi, I’ve just found your channel through the strymon pedal review. Gotta say you have the cleanest, crispest acoustic tone I’ve ever heard. Outstanding. Fantastic voice as well. Been listening to your albums too, would definitely suggest adding the albums into your playlist, took me a while to find them, but very happy I did! I took a break from playing for too long, your channel has been an inspiration to get going again. From the UK here too, was great to hear a traditional song. I’m a huge Hamish Imlach fan and traditional folk songs. Was truly refreshing to hear you play. Do you have any suggestions on fingerpicking patterns to practice? I have a few nailed, just learning to blend them right now. Will hopefully be there for your next live stream. Thank you very much

I'll go straight into it. Ten years later.
