Majorly annoyed with earthworks as a company because I did so much research to buy my first REAL set of mics, ended up with the Gen1 that I just bought 3 months ago. Saw 000000 advertising for gen2. Whatever, one less gen2 unit they’ll sell.
I feel you man, that situation always sucks but there is always something new coming down the pipeline for everything: mics, cameras, computers, etc... The Gen 1 is still a killer system and the difference between it and the Gen 2 is not enough to get down about. Maybe just pick up the DM6 to replace the SR20LS and you are good to go.
I think they missed a great opportunity to make it great, a gate on each one of them channels…! That’s what I would want especially if I was recording drums, or if I was recording an ensemble in a smaller room…!
There is an Expander inside the Compressor that is basically a gate. I didn't demonstrate it because I rarely use it, but it can be effective to softly mute a signal that falls below whatever threshold you set.
@@abbdrums well that does make it sound more useful. But I still think that designated gates would be a plus, if we no other reason to make it easier to modify percussive sounds.. thank you
i set up screen sharing on my macbook pro but i am not able to control my mac studio from my macbook on view - tis there a link to instructions? thanks so much
Thanks for this! The ‘pop’ off that snare with these is so nice. Curious how they compare to the mk1s sound wise if you were gonna do a follow up. Cheers!
It's really just a matter of personal preference on what kind of pad you want to use. None are objectively better than another. But if you do get a reflexx, the more bouncy side is best for most things. The less bouncy side is more of a specific training tool to develop better rebound strength, but it's not great for just general playing like what I am doing here in this video.
I have to say that this is impossible for me. However, what Horacio Herandez does in "On Fire" with Michel Camilo in the following video is even more impossible! I mean, how can he keep a continuous rhythm on the clav while slaughtering the rest of his limbs? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gXtieqCN_8Q.html
Just tested it and it fits exactly the same. Only thing is the Gen 1 DM20 is much taller than Gen 2, so it sits a bit high when mounted in the Gen 2 mount. You just have to bend the gooseneck down more to get the capsule closer to the head, but other than that, works just fine.
Thanks for a great review. One question, does the new mic rim mount press into the bearing edge of the drum when you tighten it? If so that's not good.
Where did you get the medal plates from to cover the empty spaces on the rack? Also how can you find a good Madi cable. I noticed those were not listed with the other links. Also welcome back man!!
Links are below. Lots of blank rack panels on Amazon, I like the Monoprice ones though. The madi cables need to be 75ohm BNC coaxial cables. I'll link the ones I'm using but you can use any brand as long as they are that same spec. - Rack Panel: amzn.to/4f6AKTx Coax Cable: amzn.to/4d5xpCr
The main difference seems to be in how (less) hot the new dm20 is. It really doesn't matter in studio conditions as preamps these are connected to would have enough headroom, but I imagine in live applications that engineers could've struggled with the old dm20s. For the kick mic, that is a tough battle as engineers already have their favourites for both live and studio applications, and it will take Earthworks some serious elbowing in to try to prove themselves.
