Thank you so much for this video man
-
Man. They are all so close in processed. Hard to make a choice! Great vid
-
I own the TLM-103. BUT, I run it through a LA 610 MKII, and with the right post processing, it sounds awesome.
-
I like your video, but to me, the comparison doesn't make sense if you are using different songs and different presets.
-
so helpful. Thank you
-
Sm7B is also my nr 1. Gorgeous video
-
Great vid! I personally love the AKG C214. I bought it recently, and I was deciding between the C214, and TLM 102. I think Iāve made the right choice. It sounds great!
-
great video thanks
-
thanks for the video :D
-
Thank You, question Im a beginner, and I have a mid to low range voice, what would you recommend , and what is the round black disc added before?? a filter??
-
Thought the NT1 worked really well with your voice
-
Whenever I doubt myself i just shove the Goldilocks from my collection, Vanguard Audio V4. Most of the times I just dan with it.
-
Years ago when Elton John was i PUK recording studio, they made a comparisson of all the mics the could get their hands on. None gave the same good result as the Beyer Dynamics MC 840.
-
tlm 103 and u87ai here.. love them both
-
is the nt1 the 4th generation? you said it was best for capturing lower voices, and the 4th gen is known for that. not sure if the 5th is the same
-
I'm looking for a mic that can pick up high notes/whistle notes any suggestions?
-
Will the preset works for untreated room, too much base vocal.
-
That song performance in the beginning was great whats the Spotify??
-
You can clearly hear the difference between the Neumann and others in the presence of the voice. Compared to previous this mic sounds pro.
-
I have the SM7B and the thing is that my voice is on the deeper side, so whenever im processing I have to cut so much around the 100-450 range and boost the high mids it starts feeling a little unnatural, maybe its not for my voice or im not that good at mixing it yet, but definitely something to consider.
