Thank you for putting T-bone on your mainstage in a extensive 40 min demo show! Now Santa has a choice. ❤

I finished my first attempt at mastering one of my own songs yesterday and I saw you posted this video. I had been thinking for a while that I need a Neumann in my arsenal. I waited until this morning to watch this video to listen with fresh ears. The fact that the mic placements and performances were different, didn’t drastically change the outcome. With the right EQ and compression, any clean take will do the job. Now, I’m not sure I NEED a Neumann, but I still want one. But I can say, I NEED that Retro Tube II because it does something different than my RODE NT1A. Once again Henning, a job well done.

It's signal to noise that matters. Who is blasting recorded silence to the level that it gets annoyingly loud except for audiophiles trying to make a stupid point?

Great demo! Owner of an SC100, SC600, and SC450 USB. All of them great mics for the price, but the SC600 is stellar. I've had it for a few years and love it through and through. The SC450 sounds a bit harsher, but it's great too. The SC100 works great with acoustic guitars and mandolin.

That t.Bone SCT700 sounded really great to my ear, and there really was not a bad mic in the bunch! I have some pretty cheap mics at home, but I've been able to get some really great sounding double bass recordings by blending a $30 USD Tascam large diaphram condenser, an MXL ribbon, and a direct signal from the pickup through my preamp pedals. Super cheap, but it works for me! And my shitty home studio is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Henning's awesome studio! :D

Unexpected video, but very interesting. I've had a t.Bone SC-1100 for...yeah, about 8 years. Sold it this year because I got a Lewitt. (It took me 1 day to sell it. Go figure.) It served me very well and ended on a big number of songs, also was my microphone for gaming / chatting. Solid stuff. Workhorse. And it was in my budget back in the day. Meanwhile I also had 2 other t.Bone microphones, a smaller handheld and the MB 7 Beta. The latter is my current talking/screaming mic.

@kingofbonngo 8 месяцев назад

I rembember the SC450 und the STC800 from my early years. If someone who is new and trying to do the first recordings, these will be great to learn how to record and learn how to hear.

I use a SC 450 for teamspeak, discord and general voice chats. Nobody believed at first, this was a 80€ mic. Even a studio tech swore it was something totally different costing lots more. Thanks for the comparision. I'm looking at the retro tube for this hollywood bariton voice for the narator voice for audio books. Furthermore the SC2000 astounded me. The 450 was not bad, but the 2000 sounded even more detailed without getting harsh.

Sct1100 and Retro tube2 winners on a vocal test

@KrisperKenvue 8 месяцев назад

I don't have the most high end headphones, but for the vocals in the mix I can't hear any difference. For my ears, the most differences to hear were in the acoustic guitar parts. Would have been nice if there was a demo of "spoken words" with these mics. So I might order a SC450 and Retro Tube II to check them out for my use case. Never the less, great comparison video!

@EytschPi42 8 месяцев назад

thanks! Even with the high end studio monitors here we could NOT tell a difference in the mix.

@johanneschristopherstahle3395 8 месяцев назад

I could hear a difference on cheap earbuds 😂 On the guitar I liked the 1100 best. On vocals it was the 2000. The retro tube sounded interesting in the mix, but the 2000 sounded more balanced to me. The 450 did quite well, too. But sounded a little bit thin for my taste. As I said: Cheap earbuds. Could be totally different if I listened on good speakers or headphones.

"Using high-end tube mics is kinda stupid" [for usage as a cab mic] - when it comes to the high-end part? Sure. But I have to say, I think the t.Bone Retro Tube II on the cab sounded pretty damn cool actually. Way more interesting than any other mic in this comparison. I would totally blend that with an SM-57.

@EytschPi42 8 месяцев назад

that could be a great combination.. a darker mic with SM57 is always good, that is why people use the Ribbons often.

@tostrmofo6686 8 месяцев назад

Disclaimer: I watched this at my Desktop with a more or less crappy sound bar. I liked the SCT700 best on it's own and I didn't like the Retro Tube II. All other mics including the Lewitt to me sounded just exactly the same. In a mix... Well I would never claim I could hear any difference. So Henning any recommendations on a mic purely for communication? Not even podcast or something. I have mount, preamp, "Phantomspeisung," pop filter and XLR cables. The mic I'm using now is getting quite old and was crap to begin with (but get's the job still done). So I am just looking out for something new for no reason at all, but I just like to have good stuff for not a lot of money. The SC450 would be okay (I'd need the mic and the "Spinne") but I feel I'm overpaying for the really great looking case I'd not even need once, cause the mic get's set up and will never be changed. Only if I might move places or it dies.

@lokarrsboots9337 8 месяцев назад

Purely for communication? Don't go with a condenser at all. They pick up everything, especially when you are sitting at a desk. If you are using it in a Zoom call, discord or whatever, you'll be the annoying prick disturbing everyone with mouse clicks, keyboard clacks and background noise. Get a decent dynamic mic instead. It doesn't even have to be a Shure SM-58. You can get the little brother, the PG-58 on the used market in good condition for under 50 EUR.

@EytschPi42 8 месяцев назад

Check into the tBone SM7 clone... that would be great and very inexpensive

@philxdev 3 месяца назад

well you´d think you are overpaying but in the end, a wooden box and a little case like that cost next to nothing coming from China, and yes the mic itself did also not cost a whole lot and in that sense, it adds to the overall production value quite a bit, in terms of "end-consumer"-retail price it really is next to nothing.

Recorded with SC450>>>>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1xwS5nBxEcA.html /// I have had the SC450 for 14 years. The switches are wobbly but don't break. The mount is junk.... I've tried a lot of microphones in the meantime (Rode, Aston, TLM 102, SM7b) because I thought "more expensive makes the sound better". Nope. I've now arrived at a UA Sphere LX. It's fatter somehow. But it still needs more work in the mix than the SC450. I still don't know if I like this much better.

Sag mal wieder Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen? Erstens haben billige FET-Mikrofone wenig Lowend und ziemliche überbetonte Mitten und Höhen, billige Röhren-Mikros betonen das Low-End und die unteren Mitten. Mit der richtigen Positionierung und dem richtigen Preamp / Eq kein Problem. Ich nutze täglich Mics von TBone, Fame und Superlux, habe aber auch Lewitt und Octavia und ältere Beyerdynamic und Sennheiser. Alles zu seiner Zeit und zur richtigen Situation.

@PippPriss 4 месяца назад

In einer Zeit, in der man per EQ-Match genau abpassen kann, welche Änderungen entstehen und diese dann höchst schmalbandig anpassen kann, macht es wirklich einen Unterschied? Ich denke, dass solange das Mikrofon gut funktioniert und von der Auflösung her die Nuancen einfangen kann, ist es ein gutes Produkt. Natürlich, ich habe bei Thomann kurz in das Manley Reference Cardioid reingesprochen, und danach in das Rode NT1 - ich hätte heulen können, dass mein Budget eher dem NT1 gerecht wird als dem Manley. Also Preis und Auflösung/Charakter sind schon gewissermaßen aneinander gekoppelt. Das macht aber nicht die Tatsache, dass diese Mikros gute "Bargains" sind, nicht null und nichtig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rZCxDSDAdAM.html Dieses Album wurde mit dem SC450 aufgenommen. Ist zwar Metal, also eventuell nur Krach für dich, aber die Aufnahmequalität ist nicht schlecht, vor allem für die 75€, die ich investiert habe in dieses Mikro, bin ich hochgradig zufrieden!

@philxdev 3 месяца назад

@@PippPriss cooles Album... man muss "Metal" nicht mögen aber krach ists ja deswegen auch nie^^

@philxdev 3 месяца назад

Es kommt ja auch immer auf die Zielgruppe und das Genre an... In einem sehr filigranen Mix kann man Unterschiede in der Auflösung ja doch deutlicher ausmachen und auch wenn der Musiker schon entsprechend Geld mit seinem Schaffen generiert, können sich Investitionen in tatsächlich besseres Equipment lohnen (bzw. eine entsprechende Auswahl angepasst an die jeweilige Situation:))... Die Aussage des Videos " gute und publizierbare Aufnahmen auch mit Low-Budget-Mics" zu erhalten ist aber ansich hier nicht falsch. Allein wenn ich dran denke, dass die erste Singleveröffentlichung von Billie Eilish mit dem Song "Ocean Eyes" im Schlafzimmer mit einem AT2020 aufgenommen wurden...
