I got up to make a coffee and the acoustic guitar part started and I thought "Holy cow, Glenn can really play that acoustic wow!" and then saw it was Christian lol (ps: I'm sure Mr Fricker can play some mean acoustic but was busy screaming at clouds at the time :p). As to hearing him singing - utterly agree, want to hear that 👍 as he can embarrass all these wannabee screamos with his deep, sonorous voice from the bowels of hell. Oh yeah, I loved the Samson mic on the acoustic guitar - just liked the balanced and tight sound it collected.

I was at a local pawn shop here in North Jersey and saw the Samson C01 for $30 and said fuck it, lemme' take a chance. We ended up using it in the middle of two floor tom's to pick both of them up, rather than two mic's because we only had 10 inputs to work with on my new album. We engineered it ourselves - I rented a big tall wooden cabin in the middle of the woods of the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania and we just banged the album out in a handful of days... Here is the result: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zlYAm_-r5oo.html

P120 sounded either best or great on everything imo, with honorable mention to the Samson which has a very appealing character in the upper mids that sounds godly on vocals and guitars but the microphone has somewhat high self noise in applications where it matters. Shure didn't stand out to me. Excellent video thanks!

The p120 is great. I have one. I choose it over the at2020 cuz it has a 20db bad and high-pass filter. I agree with Glen its not a good voice over mic. It has a pretty high noise floor. It can make do, but there are better options, but its great for music and vocals.

Hi Glenn. Thanks so much for your videos. I like them all because of your style (no bullshit and fun at the same time). A very special thanks to your gear reviews: I bought the Kali LP-6 after all you said about them and I'm sooo happy about them. Thanks so much for your advice. I got the chance to to compare them against some Genelec and Yamaha at the shop and indeed liked them better because they were not too bassy or too middy, they seemed to well preserve the full spectrum. Regarding this set of comparison for mikes I'd definitely go for the Samson because it seemed a bit more preserving the mids and high ends than the other ones, for vocals. For versatility, your choice on shure indeed. For people like me who are hobbyist it's really great to get advice on improving our set up with a budget in mind. Thanks for sharing.

It's a shame they dont make those anymore (probably were too good for the price) because now i cant live without it. Even owning a Shure SM57 & 58, That is still my main vocal mic. Thanks glenn, keep doing this amazing job, Cheers from Puerto Rico.

Loving the Hitchhiker's Guide voice overs! I think in the Presonus line of mics you need to plan on spending closer to $150. I have the PX-1 (largr condenser) and a matched pair of PM-2's (pencil mic condensers) that work quite well. Truth be told I never used them on cabinets, mostly on acoustic guitar and sample captures. The PX-1 does pretty well with voice overs and vocals.

Hey Glenn. Thank you for your content. I have been away from recording for quite a long, long time. Your videos have helped spark a renewed interest. I have both the PreSonus M7, from the bundle pack, and the SE X1a from another bundle. Got the X1a earlier today. I actually remembered this video. Rewatched to get a second opinion from my own. They both do well for my needs at this point, but I think I may use the M7 for something else and the X1a as my main vocal mic. Keep up the good fight.

The Shure PGA181 is one of my favorite picks for Snare, highly underrated in my opinion, never really used it on other sources (other then on a Viola once), so cool to hear it in another context!

Thanks, i needed to have an honest review on the Samson mic, i've heard good things about it. The AKG IMHO is maybe just a bit better but for the application a bit of extra brightness is required (old ears) so the Samson fits the bill perfectly.
@rainbowkrampus
@rainbowkrampus 2 года назад
I've got a few samson mics and I'm always worried that whatever the next one is might be a dud due to the price. But so far none of them have disappointed. There's almost certainly a bit of luck involved as QA and build/components goes out the window at this price point. But when you get a good one it's going to do the job and you won't be nearly so concerned if you're carting it around to different places.

Thanks for the review! Got the AKG P420 which I guess is very similar to the P120 but has switchable pickup patterns. I can confirm it's quite sensitive to shocks but the P420 comes with a shock mount which helps a lot. Wouldn't use it without that I gotta admit. Also I don't know how it reacts in a drum room with all the shocks from loud drums and kick pedals...might be a deal breaker. I use it for recording acoustic guitar, works well for that.

The T-bone SC400. €50. 60 with a popkiller. Sounds great and works well for recording acoustic guitar, clean vocals, growling vocals and doing voiceovers for video games. At least these are all where I have experience with! So anyway I highly recommend it when you don't have a lot to spend!
@hschieck

Somehow I liked the X1-A the most for voiceover. It seems to record a quite warm sound, making everything sounding less harsh - which makes it less suitable for drums or guitars. But for voiceover, I'd consider it. Thank you for the comparison.

I’m currently using the AT2020 and a rode nt1 for my vocal mics depending on the voice. I like them both. I used the P220 for a few years as well as the p120. All GREAT mics at any price point for the most part. My favorite of the bunch has been the NT1, and you can find those for around $100 at pawn shops all day. I actually take NT1 over TLM 102-103 and every U87 clone I’ve ever used. Best bang for buck you can get, especially when paired with an SSL channel strip on an Apollo, or even the Avalon..pure gold.

I've been using an AKG P220 for about 15 years now on my guitars and I've always loved it. The 120 is definitely just a little more slimmed down. Honestly you can absolutely just by some thick foam from Amazon and fix that resonance issue. Or a shock mount like he said. That line all use the same capsule so they will sound great for whatever you're using it for.

For guitar cabinet mics, the Audix i5 is an insanely good option. It's somewhat an SM57 clone, but it has its own distinct characteristics that make it worth looking at if you want something slightly different. Pairing it with a 57 can give you some really good results

I can honestly say that Douglas Adams has never tried too sell me a mic before... but I'm glad he did! I had my eye (ear?) on that AKG as it always seems to get glowing reviews. After your review, Glenn, its a hard NO from me for that mic. You always seem to save me money, Mr. Fricker. Thank you!

I had the Samson and i think is really a good mic for what can do. The SE i think is not bad at all, I worked with a singer who use that mic and i think that mic was amazing for her voice. She had a bright voice. I think for vocals you always try to find the good mic for your voice.
