@Produce Like A Pro, what I wouldn’t give for a tube mic. My dream mic is a Telefunken ELAM 251. I’ve been really impressed with the Warm WA 251 and would love to go after one of those mics.

Manny, you seem like the most genuine.... well versed...talented and authentic guy I've seen online in a while. With you there's no bluster and ego we run into so often. You're a good experience. Thanks for your time efforts and perspective. God bless.

Thanks for the multitracks! I love the tamb/shaker part. I get a feeling I'll be using it a lot in my beats! :3

Cool. I hear a bit of Björk in there. The Sony was a favorite of mine at Danny Dallas’ studio Sound Patterns in Detroit back in the 1970s. Very distinct, clear but smooth. Great on guitar amp and many other things.

Sweetwater sent me an advert for the new Mojave and all of its accolades. Was seriously looking at purchasing one to replace my Shure in my vocal booth... UNTIL I looked at the price. Good Golly Miss Molly! For that price, this sucker had better do all of the singing for me!

I had the pleasure of using a C37-P in the studio 30 years ago. Not a favorite vocal mic, but really good on guitar, and as a distance mic on drums. Always wanted a C-24.

Manny is the best! Thanks so much for sharing more knowledge and experiences with us mere mortals! 2 personal favourites of mine are currently the BM9 from Extinct Audio (UK) and the Mojave MA-300; use them every day.

@@mannysmiclocker I know you’ll really enjoy it! It sounds incredible on lots of things. We have seen a lot of usages on the Internet on acoustic instruments and voice, but I think it really shines on saxophones especially if you’re into bebop and like partial harmonics being picked up as cleanly and distinctly as the fundamental tone. It also sounds pretty awesome as a drum overhead. The only thing I don’t like about it has nothing to do with the microphone but rather, because I am a blind audio engineer and to change the polar pattern from UNIdirectional to Omny requires you sticking a screwdriver in the back of the microphone which makes me nervous lol. so, I make the interns do it LOL!

Thank you Manny! Loving this sound.

It's a cool tune but I'm not sure this is a showcase production for the MA-37. To my ears the recording sounds boomy and cluttered. The guitarrón and the cajón feel like they're fighting to occupy the same space. The lyrics are hard to understand and the reverb is kind of dense and bloated.

Hi Helman, I would suggest downloading the tracks and mixing them for yourself. Some of the greatest mics in the world have more information that is necessary in final the mix. For me the overlap of low end and low mids is very easy to solve in a mix, just as it would be with many other high quality mics. Many thanks, Warren

would rather here it around a campfire, to much processing. echo not natural.

It’s funny you say that because usually that’s the way the band is recorded. When we mixed that wanted more FX and just something different then traditional. I went along for the ride but it’s still there if remixed. Totally a fun session to work on and great band. Thanks for sharing Alex.
