Can’t wait to hear it. It’s probably the only mic I’m still itching for. The case used to be an option on the older Flea mics. I have one for one of my FleA 49s, but not the other.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the studio tour. I definitely plan to add a lot more content the rest of the summer so I appreciate you sticking with me 👍🏼
What's the verdict?? I just got one delivered today from Vintage King! Been comparing it to my Manley Ref C (using for just my own vocals). It's really, really impressive packaging and construction. Super premium. My first 251 so I'm still learning what it does.
So far it sounded effortless on acoustic guitar, just such a beautiful sound in omni! I'm surprised I don't like it more on vocals yet though. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty great but at this price I wish I'd liked it more on vocals. It's early though, I'll definitely experiment more and see how my thoughts develop. How about you, what are your thoughts so far?
@@SeawellStudios so far i think it’s the smoothest mic ive tried for sibilance. what i have it through is a clean pre (mike-e) into an audioscape la2a, into an audioscape pultec. On the pultec, i attenuate 2 at 100hz, and i boost 2 at 16khz. I think it needs just a slight reduction in low end and a slight boost in highs. Have you tried something like that?
I also think it seems to take eq well. Early days for me to, and sometimes i thought it could use a slight dip in the boxy frequencies of 400-600, like 1db in Pro q3. it just seems exceptionally smooth to me without being too smeared like u47 sounds.
@@producertv8964 I'm an actual working engineer... not a RU-vidr pretending to be an engineer. I don't have time to make multiple videos every week. I make videos when I can to help other engineers. I always aim to title them accurately and deliver so that no one feels like they got clickbaited and wasted their time. For this video, I was in the middle of recording a band and went live for a bit after a long day of tracking. I don't normally do unboxing videos, I think they are kind of dumb to be honest but the Flea is so stunningly beautiful, I wanted to share it. I could understand your frustration if it was click bait and was titled "Flea 251 Review" or something like that but I titled it exactly what it is... Flea 251 unboxing and a studio tour for those that have followed my channel for a bit and hadn't seen that yet. If that wasn't interesting to you, you shouldn't have clicked on it. I may post a full review of the Flea 251 at some point once I'm done mixing/mastering this album. If I do, I will accurately title it and deliver on what the title says it is.
