Testing a new SNARE MIC at Foo Fighters’ studio 

This was so cool, Jake!! Can’t wait to show everyone what you did!

My world started crumbling at that "here is the D112 solo'ed" bit

My brain about melted with that D112 clip for a sec 😂

I tried Lauten Snare mic last night with my sons band. One word? PHAT! Take my money, the thing is really great.

Dude my jaw dropped at the solo’d D112 hahaha very good

Dang you guys had so much fun on this day! No tense right convos. I love it. Authentic life in the studio

Such a beautiful spot

You take my gaff tape bro?

That D112 joke really got me 😂

great studio and microphone company!! love Lauten Audio

Great vibes over there! Cant go wrong with a neve console. I learned on an original Vintage Neve 8048! Cant wait to check out one of these snare mics!

I already get enough rejection in my life. However that mic sounds awesome, and I will definitely give it a try. 🎤 …Sorry for the puns.

I loved this video, thanks Jake for making me feel better about my day. love you

Kick thru neve always spunds good, drums for that matter thru neve always sounds good

Great stuff! (fun and informative as always) Thanks Jake!

Damn, that whole kit sound at the start sounds so good 👏

What an awesome studio 606 is,...damn. I'm a big fan of Lauten mics. I own the LS-208, a Clarion and a pair of LA-120s. I have small studio in VA and they get used quite frequently for a variety of source but more than anything drums. I do want a Snare Mic but will probably wait til I find one used.

Just got mine yesterday. Great mic. Really noticed a difference between backbeats and ghost notes.

Wow sounds killer !

so after hearing the clip of you in your studio, we need a video of how you compress and EQ the snare to go from so quiet and tame to crisp and loud.

That D112 prank was good

thanks Jake... I am now famous because of you.

Awesome drumming Ron Swanson!

I see Darrel's AE-1's in there... I have a pair of my own... I absolutely love them.

You got me with that D112 solo sample ngl.

If its a condenser, I wonder how it sounds as the snare bottom

Very cool. 👍

Genial Jake !

Coolllll!!! Awesome gear and studio,even that neve consoles from sound city 😭

A wee bit expensive, but DANG! This is a REEEEEALLY great snare drum mic! 🤘😁🤘

That intro and outro bit was recorded with an iPhone mic? Damn, plenty of low-end! Also you sound awesome.

Which tom mics were those

Yo. Is the floor tom mic pointed upside down?

That sound city console tho!

"Hey man, check out this new Lauten mic, its called Snare Mic!" "Oh yeah? Whats it good on?" "Dude...."

Kick 10 sample from the bottom snare mic caught me offguard xD xD Snare top mic really has a nice, smooth sounding rejection, though. Sounds a lot clearer than SM57.

My friend was at the Kait Dunton gig the other night. Said you guys were great (and provided proof)!

ohhhh my

thanks! going to pick up one of those mics at sweetwater. do you record with a D112 under the snare???

Freaking so cool, You and the guys at Lauten are just fucking doing it right... haha

The snare sounds great but let’s talk about those toms 😱

What exactly does the "Foo Fighters Studio" have to do with it? Does it sound ass in any other studio?

Such a cool name. Originally "Lautenschläger" means lute player.

Awesome, no bleed, but no high end to speak of either! Bring back 8k to normal level and then we can talk...

almost got me with the D112 haha

8 months later, how often do you use this new Lauren Snare mic?! How often is the one you reach for these days? Jake Reed approved yet?

You use fresh pots?

The D112 solo'ed 😂😂😂

"It's part of the original spelling of my last name" "He's a certified badass" I knew you guys worked CIA for spying and stuff. That's how we got the rejection

I raise you the Coles 4101b

I swear that Darrell Thorpe dude is Dave Grohl going undercover in a fat suit.

Pretty sure I know which Slate Sample was used at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="403">6:43</a> 🤣

Call me crazy, but sounds like the Lauten Snare Mic is clipping

The studio stole the show. Sorry Jake, sorry Lauten

Wish foo fighters were good

Shorts!!!! HOT

Heil is the ONLY mics you want

Testing a new snare mic at the FF studio except... you'll only hear it in a clip from my home studio..WTAF??? What a waste of time.

Oh it's a nice microphone, sure. But you can hear. It's not a, SHURE, thing, either. Especially when it is, soloed. And it's nothing to write home about. It's the overhead microphones capturing most of the sound of the snare drum. Not the Snare Mic. Which sounds, underwhelming actually. And really is not a worthy purchase. Compared to a, SHURE Brothers Inc., SM-57. That provides for a lot more snap to the sound. And really makes the snare drum come alive. Where that one really doesn't. It's just a thud. With no life. No snap. No sizzle. No zing. No zip. I am highly unimpressed. As a SM-57 would be better sounding. As this is only a commercial. A nice cute commercial, sure. For a single brand of microphone. That are, so so to begin with. Trying to imitate other microphones. And while some of the imitations come close. They still sound like, imitations. But then you also save a few dollars in the process. To make that sonic compromise. Which is not a bad one. But it's also not a great one to make. Because the diaphragms are too thin. To, hype the high-end, unnaturally. And it makes them sound cheap. With thin diaphragms. Yes most of these microphone manufacturers are using, 3.0 Mil thickness diaphragms. Some even only 1.5 Mil. Which is way too thin sounding. And overly fizzy sounding. Which does not say, Quality. Like a 6.0 Mil thickness diaphragm on a Neumann condenser microphone has. That all beginners think sounds dull. They don't. They sound smooth. The sound quality. They sound expensive. Because they are. And they have expensive output transformers. Cheap ones don't have any. And they sound it. Because the 6.0 Mil diaphragm microphones. Take Equalization, well. Thin ones, don't. They sound overly fizzy. Because they have overly thin, microphone diaphragms. That sound, cheap, entry-level, beginner like. Because they are. And that's not a quality sound. But look like they should provide that. Oh well? That's what the cost of a bargain microphone gets you. When you really should only be using it, SM-57's. And if that's not good enough? I am an ardent lover end user. Of a substitute microphone. It's called a Sennheiser, MD-421. And those sound, INCREDIBLE! And I love them on all the drums! But I only owned 2 of those myself. Because they cost about 3 times that of the, SM-57's, each. And there is no comparison. Those just below the, SM-57's, away! And you can hear it, here: soundcloud.com/remyrad/track08 I specialize in live recordings and live Radio & TV Broadcasts. And the PA guys had put all, Sennheiser MD-421 microphones on the drum set. And this is what I got of this live show. This is not a studio gig. This is in front of approximately 10,000+ people. At Army Base, Fort Meade, Maryland.. For the Capital Jazz Fest, festival concert. And these are the, 60 second, mixes. I pushed up very quickly. And this is why I got paid the big bucks. As other recording studio engineers go nuts. Because everything is technically wrong! And they can't get a good mix that way. Mine sounds pretty good.. And I only take 60 seconds. Of the first song they play. And then I tell the director. I got the mix. And they switch to us. On the MTV Satellite. As I am parked next to a satellite uplink truck. With my recording studio truck. That also has a video control room within it also. It's a big truck. A really big truck. With central air conditioning. And 3 rooms within.. It accommodates up to about 8 engineers. It's a big truck. It's a highway truck. That goes from performance venue to performance venue. Or did for over 30 years. From 1991. And this is how you do it.. When you have to do it for live Broadcast. Without a microphone test. Or a sound check. You only get the first 60 seconds of the first song. Try that, for yourselves. It's exciting. It's definitely a challenge. And it's a whole lot of fun. When you know what you're doing. Obviously I know what I'm doing. As I also design and build custom studios. I'm crazy. RemyRAD
