The Lewitt Ray works very well. When you moved far away you could pick up a little room reverb, but minimal. No Proximity effect.

@@SanjayC You could probably use that mic to make a chorus type effect with the room reverb... Record someone singing or playing something close, then record again gradually moving back, repeat a few times in different directions/distances and then layer the final result. I like the look of the folding keyboard too!

That mic sounds really good. Super clean and crisp. And the volume adjust is great.the price is great for what it’s doing.

Get well soon Dharti! Prayers and positive thoughts :)

QotD - Little Alter Boy on vocals... Dial it in just right and it adds a very natural but lush separation and movement. 10/10 Absolutely recommend.

I learned today that Melodyne has a levelling feature, when used on vocals significantly evens out the recording. Acts a bit like a vocal riding compressor? It works well.

A nice update on the music tech world. Thanks Sanjay. Best wishes to Dharti for a successful recovery.

Love your videos. I learn so much! Thank you , Sanjay. Praying for our dear Dharti. Wishing her a quick recovery.

I like mixing my delays into reverbs as well for my vocals on sends of course

Nice one...classic, tried, and tested!

I think for what it does that "Aura" mike does a very decent job. You can clearly hear tho when you move away from the microphone you get a more "room" sound but it keeps the level and frequency sound fairly in line. It's interesting for I'd say mostly youtubers and podcasters that tend to move around a bit when doing a show. I don't think i would use the processing for a vocal recording session without seeing a more technical analysis what the processing actually does to the phase an frequenciy curve from different angles and distances

it picks up more room ambience as you back away, so that's a change, but any mic would do that. there's a little bit of proximity warmth up close, but the volume was pretty consistent

The Realistic Concert Mate was the first synth I ever played when I was still in school, from Radio Shack. It was a full-featured mono synth and a limited poly mode (don't forget to tune it!). They're actually pretty expensive to buy used now (almost $1k last I checked Reverb), probably because no one really valued them much back then so there aren't many left. Great that there's a VSTi version.

Praying for you and Dharti🤲🏾🫵🏾💪🏿🫶🏿

You should review the FiFine A6T it’s really cheap but is really good for the price. It also has a lot in the package.

The keyboard was pretty nice imo! Looks super convenient for travelling producers imo

Well wishes for your lovely Dharti! ❤

Continued prayers for Dharti from So Cal! I'd love to have something like the MidiPlus when travelling (like next weekend. lol). I like that it folds up to fit into a carry-on. The company is on Amazon, but that particular ikeyboard is not. Any suggestions for a portable 25-key controller that works and has transport capabilities with Ableton and Studio One? Have a Push 3 but it is too big. lol

My go-to effect when working with vocals is hands down the Valhalla Supermassive by Valhalla DSP. It is just so nice sounding and mostly it is free and it does not have any audio dropouts

QOTW: Most of the time, I make instrumental music, thus vocals don’t play that much of a role. That said, I have more often than not used some kind of reverb on them. FabFilter: can’t go wrong with Pro-Q, Pro-C, Pro-L [and yes I know there are numbers]. Then you have Saturn if you like saturation. Soundtoys: yes, I’ve been using these for a while 😁. I did try AI-Loudener last week - thanks for the code - and it is quite impressive. I may even employ this in my own work.

Hi Derek! Glad you took advantage of the AI-Loudener deal! You've got some great plugins in your arsenal for sure...thanks for sharing!

Hey Dharti! Prayers going up! :)

With the Aura thing, the level was quite consistent as if you had a heavy compressor on the output. However, the balance of reflections and room tone to the dry, direct sound of your voice can be heard to change very readily.

Fun video - really enjoyed it 👍

Ray seems really great for content creators. The only difference I heard while you were moving around was more room sound when you were further away. 👍

Damn... I stay near that Kadence store haha :) Great video as always :)

Who heard 11000 and thought that was dollars. second price sounds more right Bob. That mic is great, there was no change in the volume or tone of your voice when you moved back and forth.

You my brother, have such a beautiful disposition, I watched all the way...and yes i hit the like and subscribe buttons. Prayers to you Dharti...Scrolling through your other videos now...GOD's Speeeeeeeed!

Nice one Sanjay I like the keyboard especially as the white keys are longer than most other small controllers very well thought out however the high angle is gimmicky unless you can adjust it to less of a steep angle. Another ob synth well it better be dramatically better than the many alternatives as you can only have so many of that sound and so far not many get to the real guts of the oBX Any news on the Audio interface front ? Many thanks

Ray mic tech is cool, but needs some work. As you moved away the room echo went up, but it's a first version, and the price is right, so it's still decent. The folding keyboard is pretty darn cool to travel with. Blessings up for Dharti ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡

Hmmm, the Lewitt Aura effect is good but the mic seems pretty sharp on sibilance. The V-Board is very cool, I like the mix of controls and the bluetooth capability in particular.

My secret weapon for vocals is OTT, nice

The mic is getting rid of proximity effect, it won’t work as well in a reflective room because it’s getting second reflections before or during your initial sound.

The midi keyboard looks cool

Sanjay I tuned in been way for a bit bruh, seen you were doing this by yourself & was wondering where your other half was. Im sorry to see dharti in the hospital, tell her I wish her a speedy recovery.. wow your a real trooper the show must go on lewitt said they were coming with a revolutionary microphone. nice Kinna wish I would of thought of that. sounded nice.. don't want to take up to much of your time you have a lot on your plate.. wishing you & dart the very best.. Tony

Some Midiplus stuff is available in Europe. I own their X6 Master keyboard.

0:50 it sounds the same, but the room comes in as you move back. I wonder how it would work with a Kaotika Eyeball.

The elektron gear won’t do easy key changes. Curious if the II fixes this shortcoming.

My go to secret weapon for vocal processing is a little bit of reverb to hide the weakness at the start and end of whatever verse I'm singing, as well as the most important weapon, to record the part over and over and over again until it sounds right. :D Hiya Sanjay, great video.

Maybe a good de-verb and back noise remover switch/option on the Ray Mic would make pretty tempting for home studio beginners in particular and maybe throw in a real time AI voice changer and auto-tune as well for good measure :D . I like to side chain reverb and add a compressor after to mess around with the reverb can sounds cool in the right track.

Thinking of you and Dharti! As for the mic, I don’t like it as much as the normal one you use. This one felt thin and too airy. Almost like it was doing adaptive eq in an over the top way the entire time. Maybe I’m just used to your voice on the other mic. But I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing your voice in person over the years and this mic you were demoing didn’t represent it correctly.

Hi from HongKong I saw midi plus couple months ago. As a traveller I really like idea even I get excited However when I try it... Feeling of keys was so bad, knobs,, you cant hold. Other futures are so good but also big ... So korg nano series must be better and convinient

You were in india ? For how many days and what was the plan for your india trip Lots of love from Maharashtra, India😊

Nice idea for the mic but I didn't like the bright sound.

AS you back away, room reverb is apparent. Closer does a decent job of cutting boom, but still obviously compressing. Overall, nice try. Better than the average dumb mic. BTW, 20-20K +/- what? For voice, not so important. For acoustics, noise from elbows on the table etc., important.

I tend to lean twords a simple delay, single repeat for singing since the repeat itself has a sort of a "Doubling" effect. I also depending on the preamp and Mic tend to add a slight bit of around 300hz to my vocal to give it a bit more tone and thickness. BUt i am a amatuer so, i dont know wtf i am doing :-0
