Archie, you're a big help to many musicians buying analog gear. But, there's something very important that many of us do not fully understand. Can you please make a tutorial video on tracking vocals step by step using the mic preamp, analog compressor, going into the apollo? Gain staging using all 3 pieces of gear (preamp, compressor, interface).

Yes!!! It's that classic ribbon beefy detailed sound 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

32-Bit Float is one of the best things to ever happen for ribbon mics. No gain boosters/Cloudlifters. I've run my RCA 77DX and MXL R144 HE through my Zoom M4 in 32-Bit Floating Point, imported into my DAW (Reaper currently), and normalized. Completely noise-free normalization because 32-Bit FP doesn't use analog gain. So, if you get a ribbon, I highly, HIGHLY recommend tinkering with 32-Bit Floating Point.

Thank you so much! Lots more coming.

FINALLY someone reviewing microphones who can SING!

NO! You cannot run phantom power through a passive ribbon mic. It will kill the mic! Passive ribbons cannot take phantom power!!!

True, although there are pres, such as the Coda pre-amp, which whill take the 48V power with ribbons and the transformer in the pre will take it, buffering it to the mic and it will be safe. Otherwise, NO!!!

I'm a total newbie to microphones but I really want a beautiful one like this one. I love how it makes your voice sound - although I'm guessing you have a great voice anyway. My question is... is there a particular mic stand that you recommend for this mic? I would love to have something that could sit on my desk if possible. I teach online art classes. Thank you in advance if you have any advice! 😍

I love this channel!

@@archiebeatz And Those Ribbons are Not Large, But they are cut very Precise and with just the right Connection and tension to register minute vibrations. They need a little more care than regular diaphragm mics But Have their own unique Characteristics in capturing Sounds. Having a Quality Pre-Amp is where they really Shine to get the boost and Then be able to run your amp at lower levels to get Very Clean low noise Signals. Rode Has a Really Good one and Royer Specializes in Ribbons, but Cost a Lot More. Nowdays, Lower cost ribbons can hold their own with those costing much more. My dear Friend Bruce Swedien dearly Missed, Loved his Ribbons and had those he bought years ago because they were taken care of treated with care. I still have a Pair of Mxl Royer clones Used for my Sax and a number of other MXL mics that all have given Good Service. Their Quality Control is the only issue that ever has come up. Not Audio Quality. That Ribbon compliments your Voice and is a Keeper🎩
