I think the differences are less noticeable than you would think, especially if you're using outboard mic pres. I think the most important thing to consider is which best suits your needs. My EVO 16 sounds nearly identical to my apollo twin duo and they almost completely phase cancel in a null test.

@OdinOfficialEmcee 7 месяцев назад

The RCA, U47, SM7B, and Royer were the best and most versatile selections, and the RCA served her voice best imo. What I've learned over time is I'd always rather an even toned, dark mic that takes EQ well. It is always easier and sounds better to add a bit of highs and take away low end than to try and tame a lot of high end and add low end.

Oh my goodness, what an absolutely great voice! Interesting vocal melody also! And I have to say, the AEA R44 fits the atmosphere of the song and her voice perfectly! I cannot believe how much everything else, to me at least, paled in comparison. I think the Mojave 201 FET with some more heavy EQ'ing and de-essing can deliver a nice performance as well. Thank you for making this interesting test!

@halgrimaldo4147 7 месяцев назад

U47 and SM7B for me. Not surprising is the SM58 (sometimes the scratch worked best). Guessing a TLM 49 would have favored her as well. All fair assessments. Nice examples highlighting sibilance and presence with a challenging but talented! voice.

Thomann FET amps are amazing for ribbon mics. I have to turn the pres on my mixer all the way down. They also protect your mic by not letting phantom power get through to the ribbon.

@fredtimothy940 7 месяцев назад

Yes many of the cheaper LDC’s are bright while still having the plosive problem. Then when you low cut the plosive they get super shrill. My favorite vocal mics are dark condensers that still have a little top magic without emphasis. I love the Miktek CV4 and Violet Design Globe Vintage (now a special order item from JZ Microphones)

@samchoate1719 7 месяцев назад

Yup, I have begun gravitating towards high quality, but darker voiced mics. They take EQ better in my opinion, so a little high shelf, and you’re good!

@Projacked1 7 месяцев назад

I have used thin panty's/ stockings-fabric over the grill to tame brightness/ brittleness. Also a layer from napkins works, very thin. I have the same on my AKG condenser, but that brightness can be handy for other things. It's a utility mic for me. Here's another tip I never used, a guy told me , he tried numerous things with recording trumpets, or similar; Try a drumskin in front of the mic. I have used this in other ways; f.e. with a speaker in front of a snare drum. It sort of levels the sound. You can also use drums as tunable 'reverbs'.

@rome8180 7 месяцев назад

The more I hear vocals through a nice ribbon mic, the more I want one. It's funny how your tastes change as you mix more. I used to really love bright vocals. Now I like a darker, more "vintage" sound. Part of that could just be because of all the experience I've had trying to mix my own sibilant voice. I've had so many situations where I recorded a vocal on a mic that "sounded great" but just became awful once I applied EQ and compression. I'd do things like de-ess and manually turn down the S's and it still never sounded right. I've moved to only using an SM7B on myself for that reason. But I'm wondering if a ribbon might be even better.

@OrangeyTangerine 3 месяца назад

I was also contemplating ribbons, but wanted more detail. So I recently got a Shure KSM32 and this thing handles sibilance like a champ. It is super rare to get a noticeable sibilance out of it. It is a darker microphone, but I recommend it for the price, especially if it is bought in the used market.

Thanx Warren. De-essing in Melodyne Studio is super easy and effective and adjustable per word also if you want.

One thing I would love to see a presentation on, and I never see, is how record labels deal with recordings. So just throwing it out there. Where are the original recordings held and how are they managed in terms of protecting aging but also versions, how many and where they are stored. Are they ever returned to or has everything been digitized? With all the Peter Jackson involvement must be creating more versions. Are they just backed up locally and online like I would at home? I know it’s going to be different now than back in the analogue days so maybe a now and then (see what I did) kind of thing so we can see how they treated recordings and archives back in the day to now. Just such a fascinating area of the industry which doesn’t seem to get any attention. Seems to me Produce Like A Pro would be the perfect home for such a subject. Many Thanks

I liked the u47. Is felt the smoothest in the high end. I find that Shure mics tend to have a very blocky / tough high end. Works great in metal but in this case it was a bit much on the higher notes. I get the impression that the u47 would take eq very well.

SM7B was used when Papa Het was recording the main vocals for HARDWIRED Metallica record. Unfortunately I don't know what was compressor but for EQ they used Neve side car with I think 1073 or vintage 1073 but it could also be a BAE. It's hard to see from the distance.

The TLM103 for a Neumann, is a bit brittle in the high end, but versatile. But by far, the best mic in this collection (apart from the U47) is the Shure SM7B. But you need a preamp with a very decent amount of gain. forget running this mic, with a weedy Focusrite or Presonus... you'll need a 500 series pre, audient or UAD or RME. At least 60db of gain. Lets be honest, mics depend very very much on the voice.

@Byron101_ 7 месяцев назад

TLM103 is more a mic for instruments, like violins, guitar - and not good for voice. TLM103 is much to bright and has very hard transients... not recommend.

@JochenVogel 7 месяцев назад

Allright, I'll name names then. For my own voice my favourite mic is a Recording Tools MC 700. And since I changed the capsule to a 32 mm K 47 style of unknown provenance it sounds even better. I still have a stock-version of this mic; it sounds good, but not as "intimate" or maybe flattering as the new old capsule. For my partner in life and in The BirdHouse I bought a Recording-Tools MC 900, with a C 12 style capsule, which seems like a good choice, but I haven't recorded her with it yet. That being said, I can't really recommend the brand as such, because it's the cheap department of Russian company Oktava. Since February 2022 I can't buy Russian products with a clear conscience anymore. For my harps I use a t.bone SC 1100 with a 35 mm center terminated capsule (mixed with the home made piezo I have been using for almost 30 years now) and during my recent COVID infection I thought of using it on my then very Barry-White-ish voice. ;-) On the harps this mic at the right angle captures every intricacy of their sounds. I have used more expensive mics with bigger names in professional studios, but I am quite happy with the results I get at home now.

Could you not have use the U47 to record the voice and then play it back through a really good speaker into whatever microphones you want to test? Including the U 47? Or record with something that you're not test? A U87 for example? A test tone a 1,000 K would always be the same that way. I'd have really loved to hear comparisons of various U47 copies too. Like my Warm Audio WA47jr for example.

With the U47 I hear me sitting in the same room. With more or less every other microphone I hear something unnatural. I like if there is no need to remove issues from a recorded signal. I think it's not only deessing, EQ-ing etc. It's something you can not repair. To cringe from spending more money for a flawless microphone could be the wrong way in longer terms. Bying cheap costs twice. Microphones last forever, they will survive their owner. It's similar to buying a sound system for live or studio. You can use it many years, it will be worth the money. It's not like a Laptop, that will be worthless in 3 years. As I know you can get the U47 as reintroduced U47 fet for under 4000€. Still al lot of money. Same recording result, better quality, modern specifications.

Can you give the spelling of the singer's name and is this song available yet? You said it, but I can't seem to spell it or find her out there. Great demo, but also great performance.

Serious question (from a non-recording person): In the days of near-universal use of AutoTune, does it really matter?

Credit to the singer for such consistent performances of a wildly variable vocal. The U87 is worth the money for the amount of time it saves in a professional studio. All the others have problems, some more than others, the Lewitt has the most. At first I was annoyed that the guitar distracted from her voice, but actually is was a nice complement! More of these please!

Does anyone know which popscreen that is?

Great advert for the good old SM58. All of them sounded good on that singer's voice with the exception of the Royer which just sounded woolly to me, like someone had put a thick sock over the mic. The RCA ribbon was dark, sure, but not woolly. U47 came across as - whispers - a bit boring and not as much clarity as some of the others - I guess a singer will enunciate differently on different takes - but it sounded almost like there was a microphonic ring on the word 'heart'. I think evenness is overrated! Dare I say it, the Lewitt had more vibe than the U47. SM7B also sounded a bit boring. To sum up: I liked the SM58, Lewitt, Mojave and Lauten on that particular vocalist.

Hearing ~ 2-5% distortion on my end after YT compression; even more with the R44. This isn't the first time I've noticed distortion in your videos. Seems YT doesn't get along with your limiter :(

Not a big fan of tube mics. Tried a few of them and they EQ funny and are either too hot or cold Audio Technica and Rode mics really do the job for me, even like those better than Neumann mics.
