Soyuz SU-013 Microphone Review & Giveaway ($1200 Value) - Produce Like A Pro 

Hi Friends, [[ $1,200 Giveaway Pair of Soyuz SU-013 Mics ]] Friends, Soyuz is a very special company: All of their microphones are handcrafted in Russia, using the original technology used to build microphones in the 40s and 50s. They're assembling and tuning their own capsules from the raw materials, winding their own transformers, and assembling the electronics in-house with point-to-point wiring. Featuring an outstanding build quality and some of the best capsules and transformers around, their microphones exhibit a unique character and sound. In this review, I'm testing the SU-013, a small diaphragm FET condenser microphone on multiple sources: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Drums, Piano and Vocals, and putting it up against one of my favourite vintage microphones, a Neumann KM56! Even in comparison to one of the best mics out there, the SU-013 held its own: I was really impressed with its balanced frequency response and full-bodied sound. This microphone is very versatile and can be used on a lot of different sources. With a spaced pair, you can probably make a full record using just these mics. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

I still can't believe that I won these great mics! I'm going to enjoy using them on a variety of sources. Drum overheads in particular. Hey, why not? :) Thank you ever so much Warren, Sam and everyone else at PLAP, and thank you Soyuz!!

wow, sounds awesome! How well everything already sounds without any processing. good tracking is the key!

You have a pretty good voice, man!! Also, nice song, would be great to listen to it finished one day. And fantastic review as always!

Geez! You're really going to have us all producing like a pro before it's over. Haha, thanks for the giveaway, and all of the awesome material!

Thanks for sharing your song man!!!! Good luck to everyone!

The KM 56 is Godly on acoustic guitars.. I like the Soyuz as well.. From what I hear, you are absolutely right. The KM 56 is very controlled and subtle which has this beautiful outcome. I really love the detail with the Soyuz SU-013. I'm definitely going to look into the SU-013. Thanks for sharing such a detail review review Warren.

Warren, love the Revstar! Great sounding, great looking axe!

that was awesome, now I understand the SU-013 a little better, and Warren as well

Hi 👋 Great review, thanks. Is that „Down on the Upside” by Soundgarden by the way? 🤔

nice little demo, thanks.

just a tip when playing with ear defenders on drums, the stick will do the work on hi hat else it can make you think the hi hat is too loud, not position so much, internal dynamics, great mic

Hi Warren, I love them and need these microphones :D Super presentation! Thanks

We can hear the pitch correction, mate! :D Anyway, another great review from you. Thanks!

Great review! Thanks.

I love the sound of your old piano @#@ BTW thank for your video , this is the first time I heard about Soyuz .

A nice song, wouldn't mind hearing all of it! I think I preferred the KM56 on the acoustic, but overall the SU-013 sounded great. Loved the piano sound especially!

Hey Warren, love your videos and I'm joining the academy when I get paid Friday. Will you do a lesson/review on the new Slate VTC? I'd love to hear your take on those plugins

really cool vid! thanks Warren

I have the matched pair of the tube 013. Marvelous pair. I can compare to a well matched set of AKG C28b tube mics. The Soyuz are quieter but both sets are otherwise stunning.

What I have watched your videos and singing I think this mic is most suitable for your voice so far it actually sounded very nice

I love your piano sound!!

Soyuz Handmade Microphones FOREVER!!!!))very cool and LIVE sound!!!Great!!

I'm in, thanks for organizing this great giveaway!

Hi Warren, i agree with you that the KM56 has very controlled throughout all frequency, but the soyuz is very nice too though, i've been following you quite a while and notice that you like peluso so much, have you tried p28? how does it compare to km56? Thanks

Awesome vid as always!

Sounds great Warren! I would like for You to complete that song! Loving it! It sounds as if Nirvana and Travis wrote a song together or something like that. Keep it up! Much love from Sweden!

Hi Warren! What are those headphones you're wearing whilst singing? This Soyuz sounds rather nice!! Cheers & Be well, Kieren

Bravo! I hear 70-ies Pink Floyd and beatles in the chords. Next you know Warren breaks out the power chords and does a Nirvana chorus. Amazing how well the piano fits into the spectrum. Thank you.

Hello Warren! Accentuation in word Soyuz is on "u". Have a marvellous time pronouncing russian words! ))

Good enough to put on Sgt Peppers!! Definite influence there. Mike is great. When I saw the name I thought it might be more exotic and spaceage, but it really is down to earth and thick.

Even though the piano sounded pretty bad, the mics did a really, really good job on it! I'm really impressed by the allround performance of these!

шикарный тест

Seems like the condensing helps to bump up the volume to make the dynamics more noticeable. It's also very "creamy" sounding towards the lower-mids and low end. It's definitely interesting.

That's funny... Your voice sounds like it's been tuned (listening through headphones right now). Is that natural? Anyways, great mics, very rich sounding (although your KM 56 is exceptional, so it wouldn't be fair to compare them), and what a giveaway! Thanks Warren!

A cool position for one mic on drums is kind of under the ride, over the kick pointed towards the snare. Would've gotten a way better balance that way! Also.. Who was the rock star? ;)

Woah, I would love to have a pair of these. I was looking for small diaphragm condensers a while back, and unfortunately the Soyuz were just out of my price range. I did however settle on the Lewitt LCT-340 which is quickly becoming one of my favorite mics. Wish me luck!

I need these in my life !!

Hello! Did you do any mastering to the voice track? It sounds metalic (i don't have a better word to describe what I hear). Also i would love to win these mics, right now when I'm recording a song and i wan't to play guitar and sing at the same time i have to record my electroacoustic using DI, so it loses on quality. Matched pair like these would be perfect.

Great song Warren! Reminds me of the grunge days, really nice! And you make an excellent mic tester, eh eh! Wish I'll win those beautiful Soyuz babies - any chance of a KM56 giveaway ? Lol!

Man I wish I knew of you back in time when you ran this giveaway! Ha ha ha! Like I would have won... it’s pretty funny, but I Love Love Love these microphones!!! Nice job tracking for the demo. I thought the words were great, cuz actual rich people often can’t really know who it is that Loves them... or is it just their $$$$ing money being Loved?! So... (Love me I’m rich, but please tell me if it’s me or my money, your calling honey.”

Great demo man! you sing like Steve Hogarth from Marillion.

They sure look pretty!

I like how it's an SDC but has none of that brittle high-end that is reminiscent of other popular models. If you need more highs you can always add it with a nice EQ :)

@producelikeapro you should try to do a tour of metallica's home studio that place looks massive and ive always wondered what it secrets it hides inside

Awesome tracking...could be a Floyd tune on Obscured by Clouds 🎤🎧👌✌️

Beetles meets Pink Floyd meets some old school Alice and Chains... Loving the comparison! Thanks Warren.

I love the tune. Did you ever finish it? The Soyuz mics sound great.

Hey Warren, It would be so awesome to win these awesome mics... But you know, what would make me even more happy? If you would finish that song...It is kind of a pain to jump to the right time stamp over and over again, if you want to listen to that song 24/7. Just wondered, what you where thinking... "Hey I'm warren and I've got that masterpiece laying around... Why not use it for a mic test." :D Great video as always and greetings from Germany

MARVELOUS!

Great vox man!

wow these are beautiful. I'd love to win this!

Good! Keep it up!

You are altruist, Warren! I would never pay 1200$ for mic, though it is awesome, no doubt. Thanks for wonderful detailed review!

i never knew that, you are a pretty good singer

I am hoping to win this I am currently using a cad u37 mic haha definitely need an upgrade!

you're doing an amazing service with this channel, I may or may not hat mistakenly entered my RU-vid username as Kayjnks because I rarely see it, so I hope that is no issue. Anyway, stay marvelous Warren! -Journey Cuave

Hey Warren, thanks for all the tips on your channel, it helps a lot! By the way, I'm from Russia, so It would be logical to send the mic back to homeland :)

I want to win this and return back to Russia :D Sounds really great!

is Twitter and Facebook the only way win, I don't have either, barley have time to record with my job.

The song is nice!

its cool!!!

It look like a Km84 from Neumann.....take a Set km 184 and the Sound is nearly the same

oh i want it ! :D

am I too late?

Ahí hhh I LOVE THIS MIC!

I would really love if you could do a give away of audio interface or a large diaphragm condenser mic. Bcuz they are a lot unfortunate young ones who can't afford them And yes I even applied for last give away of Audio interface you did but I wasn't that lucky. But yes I do love watching your video and had learned a lot from Their i hope we can be in touch so I can learn more and work on my steps to create my dream studio ❤️ Much love from Rajat 🕉️

wow

Ooooooo! Me likey!

It reminds me of Soundgarden - Blow Up the Outside World

Heyy Everyone! I am a musician and this july we are going to record our first cover on a professional mic.I found this channel while searching for help as i have no idea ho to record a song ,mix it and make it sound good like professionals.Please Please someone help me and tell me few things. 1:What software is perfect and easy for recording vocals. 2-How to edit our tune the vocals like professional studios do.(like if plugins are required for the software you'll mention above please do mention them too) and 3-How to mix those vocals with song how to fit em in them to make them sound fresh cover straight from an expensive studio. Why are we going with recording on our own?Because we cannot afford studios.So please help me asap.

I just noticed you have 441K subscribers haha.

Your drum playing sounds very Ringo-ish ;)

Before you did the vocal, I heard Kurt Cobain wailing over the guitars. Also, you didn't need the autotune.

chorus is soundgardens blow up the outside worlds verse ewsh

Great :)))) You have a no bed voice too ;) Say hello

Last time I was this early...

strange name... means maybe union..?

Hey Warren, raffle off the KM hahahaha.

Hi Warren .This is pure mic porn. I'd love to win this bad boy for recording. Keep up the fantastic work. You're an inspiration.

soyuz wins

Too many music breaks with too much unneccessary comments in it. Direct sound comparison would be better, talking can come afterwards.

Love me I'm rich... I know this song^^

kick drum creaks like in a led zeppelin record ..

I appreciate both your best wishes for my future endeavors, I surely will be successful now. There is no need to explain or justify what you do to me. How you run your channel has nothing to do with me. I'm just expressing an opinion based upon my limited knowledge of your channel. I may be right, I may be wrong, you would know best. As you have stated in your videos, it's always more interesting when someone has a different opinion than your own as apposed to when someone always agrees with you. I'm glad to hear things are going so well with your giveaways. Thanks again, Rich

2:35 So you'd rather trust a foot of duct-tape to secure ~$2k worth of vintage mic, rather than "splash out" 10-20$ for a new pencil-mic shockmount? Seriously? :P I very much wouldn't...

nice selfie stick please give away me you nice video again new video please

First??

They are great microphones but their secret = their tools and their carftamen. Theses huys are doing everything by hand cuz they kept the know how...

You should stop doing these sponsored gear reviews as everyone has to assume your opinion is biased. I'd much rather watch comparisons where you are not accepting free giveaway merchandise or sponsorship, so that I may actually trust your reviews as impartial. Sponsored "unboxing" videos are worse than worthless as they waste viewers time.
