Wow this should have a part 2 addressing other brands and also comparing tubes, fets, dynamics etc. great episode!!!

Thanks so much for these videos! This channel has helped me so much along these past 4 years when it comes to producing and editing my own vocals. I always listened to the living weirdo covers since 2013. I currently am working on something really special to be released in October! A debut EP and it would not be possible without his vocal chains and mastering chains. A true Godsend

These episodes bring me joy

I have been so happy with the Townsend L22. The capsules on their own sound great, and the sphere software is super versatile. We keep using it over and over and just hasn't been failing.

Seen some of these podcast clips on IG, but finally watched some stuff on KZread. Super insightful and I feel like I learn something from each one!

This is what I'm missing from a lot of the podcast and reviews - You guys are very emotional about audio gear, you talk about those things like I do! Great stuff!

Happy to hear y’all’s take on this! I’ve been workin with a TLM 103 for a while now and it’s great but always saw the u87 as kinda the industry standard but wondered if there really was a big difference! Thanks for answering! Y’all are dope!

Buy that $1000 preamp and a $300 mic fellas as you getting started out. Not the other way around. If you are a budget artist, prioritize a professional preamp and good interface first. I have the U87 & Wa8000 (two great mics), and I mix records self-recorded by other artists on $200-$300 mics that sounds great and compatible enough for HQ records. Hope it helps.

Wa87 and UAD solo good upgrade from Focusrite and Nt1a?

@SunnyTure

@@yggbeats5759 I'm not familiar with some of that gear, but I upgraded to a UAD Volt interface from an old Focusrite recently and love the switch! But if your Focusrite is newer, I still suggest getting a separate analog preamp and bypass the preamp of your interface to get the best bang for buck. Lastly, if you are impressed by the Wa87 reviews I say go for it. Although, there are lots of good mic options in the ~600 price range.

When you’re starting and learning how gears work or learning how plugins work, no not at all. Long term when your ears develop listening to certain sound and quality and characteristics then yes to a lot of people.

It took me 10 years but in 2021 I finally bought U87 , this microphone makes life good. It always sounds 🔥

Fav podcast easily

I currently use a Bluebird SL Large and it works great for my current projects

Ypooo this podcast is a blessing

My mic order from what I own, 1. WA-8000 -love the clarity/detail 2. AT4050- Neutral sound 3.TLM-102- Leaves more to be desired 4. Rode NT1- Sounds compressed.

I was hoping that a Lewitt microphone would come up in the conversation because Lewitt is really turning the game upside down in my opinion. Despite everything, another great podcast as always, greetings to all audio nerds out there!

I’ve „built“ my own. Basically the apex 460 with a c12 style capsule and a 12ay7 tube. Cost me around 400€ and sounds like minimum double the price, if not triple.

It's that time of the week🔥🔥🇿🇦

Upgrading from an AT2020 to a TLM 103 was like AT2020 is 1080p & TLM is 4K. I do run it thru a DBX286 preamp/vocal ch. to a focus rite 2i2 so You can do with that what you will!🙏

I got the wa 8000 modded by Erickson labs and its crazy good. People sleep on warm audio but in the 500-1200 range they're hard to beat and punch way above their weight class even without the mods. Another dope company is Lewitt. When people catch on to what they're doing with blending fet with tube I think they could be the new standard in the future.

We need that review on the knockoff mics. A side by side comparison because $20 is crazy

AKG P120 is a solid budget mic with some acoustic treatment and proper gain staging can take you places

I use the Manley ref C and Sony c800g.... I like it more than Neumann u87........I have a tube tech but im not a fan of it because I like to hear what the compressor is doing

The price only slightly matters. Ive used so many mics and there are some cheaper companies the absolutely blow expensive companies out the water. Warm Audio is one of those.

I have an MXL that i swear was modded. I Can get it to sound so good. Was like $180. I’ve recorded people with the Sony mic down to a dynamic mic. There’s a line you cross where it really falls into the hands of the engineer and the performance/mic placement. But terrible mics can definitely ruin everything tho

man been going crazy with that Rosetta! also 20 dollar microphones🤫

Is all easy answer is everything is free because it came from earth. There is no price if you grab it. So the question is, who is using the best components and ingredients? And who has honestly the best clarity and sonic pick up? Before amping.

Look into the Stam Audio SA87T. It’s a U87/c800g love child.

I'm with Ol' Boy - U87 hits better than the C800 to me too. I got mine for £1,700 basically brand new with the box and Shockmount Which was lucky. The Elam 251, C12, and the U47 all probably outshine the U87 to me but... those are some monopoly man money mics.
