This is such a great video. Been tempted to get a ribbon mic or just build one from micparts, and this video helps show the Royer is a great choice if I can get my hands on one. Also, I'm really happy that there's a music school in Ridgewood! Wish this was around when I was starting music at IS77!
love your videos and energy Bob, to the point as always. I decided to learn the trumpet after many years as a drummer and this instrument is fantastic, should have started it earlier, love it!
Yeah those ribbon mics sound niiiice. I have to say, i do like the Electro Voice RE 20 a lot. Its not as warm as the ribbon mics but its got a clarity that makes a difference. Great video. Enjoyed it and learned something.
Just for the sake of leaving a comment. I'll try the V7x because it's more balanced than the SM57. Then the Rode NT1 with its quiet top end. Then the KSM32 according to the reviews.
Great video. Really appreciate the perspective. Super helpful. Is that a Martin Committee? Would love to hear your thoughts on trumpets you've used/owned.
For home recording, or even performance, what about clip on mic's? I get some great recordings from mine but I do need to filter out the low sounds, including the valves sounds!
