Weissklang v17. Got the mic 2 months ago after I sold my TLM103 (which I thought was to bright and kind of sibilant) and I love it.

Can we all agree that Warren has an amazing singing voice? What a pleasant suprise it was!

SM 57. Done a lot more live mixing. Bullet proof. Cheap to replace when they grow legs. A real usable mic that can be used as a hammer if need be. As for studio.. get back to you on that Warren. Great mic line up today!

Earthworks is my dream mic for live but alas live is now but a dream. Cheers Warren!

dude very cool collection of mics...i never would have seen those coming

Favorite mics in my cabinet are a matched pair of Earthworks TC30s. Fantastic on drum overheads, acoustic guitars, brass and room mics. Only problem is if the source has issues, these will highlight those issues.

I think the best compliment I can give a mic is that the raw sound makes me feel like I don't need to (or want to do) do anything to the sound. The AEA KU5A fits the bill. The others are nice, that one is just soooooo smooth!

Fantastic talent. Thanks, Warren.

We picked up matched LA 120s, and matched Soyuz 013s. So far so good, thanks for the suggestions.

What a phenomenal voice, Warren!

I'm really excited about the Lauten Audio. I was talking with my Sweetwater Rep and was looking at more expensive microphones, but with us having similar voices, he mentioned how he actually prefers and gets the best results with the LA-320. I've been really thrilled with it and blown away by the results (and for the price). Now that I'm looking to get a new pair of small diaphragm mic for acoustic guitar and things like that, I will have to give a deep look at the LA-120. Sounds great I enjoy and get so much out of your videos. Thank you for helping this bedroom musician improve and grow!

Beautiful mics! And nice singing, Warren!

About 7mins iin, with the R10 against the dust ca, just when he switches mics, that’s a golden sound. Terrific stuff.

Wow the Soyuz sounds amazing on acoustic.. I need to get a pair of these

Fantastic video!! I love your work, I started my journey in audio as a live engineer but using your videos, and advice from many incredible mentors. I’ve been able to build a home studio with enough gear to record my drums and a band with it. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on using ribbons on drum overheads? I had a pair of sdc’s and liked them, but then I got myself some cascade fatheads and love them on pretty much everything. Great work man, thank you for all of your great wisdom!

Another informative video Warren. Thank you! My Flea 47 (U47 styled-mic) gets a lot of work with my home recording, especially on vocals. When recording other instruments, I'm finding that it makes less and less difference about 'which' mic I choose, as long as I'm careful to listen to the results before hitting the record button.

I have the LA120. Great mics really! Ideal for acoustic guitar and important: classical guitars ...and their brightness is not sibilant at all. Fantastic SDC mics! I did suggested them to a friend in Rome, he is making classical music production with quartets etc. He got a couple. After 2-3 months he was so happy: he got another one. He sold the sE he had before. Lauten is really a great brand! I tested also the Soyuz. David Brown was at my place in January 2018 to make me test the mics. GREAT! AEA: I have 2 R9 and a TRP: just fantastic. I had also a RC44 for 10 days to try it in several conditions: FANTASTIC! I know (even if I couldn't try it till now) that also the KU5A is great!

I picked up the Lauten LA120's and the Soyuz 013's - thanks for the recommendations.

When you demonstrating the rejection on the Earthworks SR314 the only going through my mind was snare, snare, snare.

Hi Ed Kraus that’s a marvellous idea indeed!

A mic that really surprised me is the EV RE320. Most people may think of it as a broadcast/podcast mic, but it sounds better on my voice than any other mic that I own. Really versatile (has a kick drum setting) and affordable too!

Fantastic shout out to some great Mics!!

Hi Warren, great videos, Thank you! I have a question, do you keep your mics on stands ready to go in your home studio or that youre putting them in and out their cases before and after every session? And if you keep them on stands, do you put something on them? Thank you so much.

Wow the Mojave MA201-fet song was really beautiful man.

Royer recently posted on FB that Al Schmitt was using the R10. I'm really interested in the Lauten LA-120. Would you use the Omni caps as room mics maybe?

Hi Warren, from your demo and practical experiment, can we say that the Earthworks SR314 is a great vocal mic for home studio suffering from bad soundproofing / weak acoustic treatment? The off axis rejection that you demoed is unbelievable! This means it won’t record background noise or room sound. What do you think?

My favorite mic is the one that makes me sing and sound like Freddie Mercury. Just for the record: I ain't found it yet...

hi warren.nice inerpretation and vocals on whiter shade of pale.i was only yesterday watching the $1700 vs $10,000 mic video that you did at sunset sound studio wich looks amazing and all its history.Was a great camparison between the more expensive mics and the much cheaper setup although listening through my laptops speakers I couldn't hear much difference between each setup.anyway I wanted to say to anyone whose not watched it yet that the song with Jonah smith and co was just awesome and got me thinking about how good the muscians were because the sound is pretty bare but so well executed...great recording to mate...cheers

Geez. Where did that angelic voice come from? When you speak, I hear Cookie Monster's cousin from across the pond, when you sing, suddenly there's a tear in my eye. Amazing. Also: Who's that singer songwriter Seth Rogen looking dude with the double bass player? Loved that song!
