Warm Audio WA47jr vs Audio Technica AT2020 - Vocals Too Thin? Try This! 

Thank you baby❤❤❤

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! I have no experience with sE mics but their T2 actually looked very interesting. I'd like to try it out someday. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome!

Thank you very much for the compliment!

Glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching!

Hey you're welcome man! Glad you found my video helpful! I use to own the NT1 so I am very familiar with it. By far one of my least favorite mics i've ever used/owned. You well get more low end, but the high end is very grainy sounding and harsh once you start processing it (kinda like the AT2020), the mids feel weak so it doesn't sound as full as it could, and for a mic that is suppose to be nearly flat, it is also really sibilant which is not good. Would not recommend.

@@subtonic24 thanks man can i clarify again did you mean rode nt1 color black version with small bump on top end is grainy when boosted not the nt1-a silver because i saw reviews saying nt1-a is harsher. but i didn't know that nt1 have grainy sibilant sound when in post cause there are 2 variation of this mic?

@@zachpitt9249 Yup I'm talking about the black NT1. That top end is grainy once you start boosting it to modern music standards. And it's very sibilant before you even start boosting it! The NT1 is slightly better than the NT1-A but not by much from my experience.

@@subtonic24 thanks man one last thing do you think i will get smooth sounding vocal with wa47jr like justin bieber. do you think he uses 47 style mic like in this song? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fp8msa5uYsc.html

@@zachpitt9249 After some processing, you can definitely get there! The top end of the WA47jr is smooth enough to get into this territory without being grainy or harsh. No idea which mic he used but he records with the Sony C800g, ELA M 251, U47, and U67, so it's possible. At the end of the day tho, the engineer is the one who made his vocals sound like this.

K47 style capsules are known for being more mid forward than other capsules. This is to help it cut through a busy mix in a different way since it has a more rolled off top end. The mid forwardness can be dealt with using EQ and mic placement, but if you already have a really nasal voice or a really aggressive mid forward voice, then K47 style mics might not be the best option for you as they will exaggerate those characteristics more.

@@subtonic24 already read a review whwre it says it sounds nasally. Not interested

I don't think the 47fet is drastically different from the 47jr, and you lose out on the versatility of multiple polar patterns. I personally wouldn't look at it.

I have no experience with the Lewitt or the SE so I have no idea. Try them all out if you can and see which one matches your voice best!

The WA47 will have some differences from the WA47jr due to the tube circuit and transformer, but the differences do not always mean it is an "upgrade". You'll have to listen for yourself and decide if you like the sound and if the differences justify the cost difference.

@@subtonic24what about the wa 47 fet compared to the wa47jr? It has a transformer

@@kayjay4952 I haven't noticed a drastic difference between transformer and transformerless mics. And the 47fet loses versatility due to not having multiple polar patterns. I personally don't find much value in it.

From my personal experience, the UA Apollo Twin X. I have heard great things about the UA Volt Series, Audient interfaces, and SSL interfaces as well. Definitely take a look at those.

@@subtonic24 what should be the biggest difference I notice if I get an Apollo twin?

@@officialchannel1292 Slightly lower noise preamps (easier to power SM7B without needing a cloudlifter), higher gain preamps, and access to Unison Preamp technology to change your sound to whatever you want.

Both the 47jr and WA87 will be upgrades from the NT1A as they both have smoother and more rolled off top end so take you pick. Either one will be fine!

Should I get the rode nt2a or the warm audio jr I hope u reply thanks 😊​@@subtonic24

@@ZenyHilario-eq3ip Having used and mixed with both mics, I prefer the WA47jr. I think it sounds much better than the NT2A.

Not very well just like almost all condenser mics that exist, even the expensive ones. Treat your room (doesn't have to be expensive) or grab a dynamic mic. The dynamic mic option will help a bit but it is not an absolute fix to an untreated room. Hope this helps!

I love the TLM103. It will definitely sound more full than the AT2020 and a lot of other mics. It has a big bass response, even more than the U87. It does have a very smooth but bright top end. If that is the sound you want and you're willing to pay for it, then go for it! ✌🏾

You talking about using a mixer for the on board EQ over any interface?

@@subtonic24 Essentially, yes. :) My MG12XU absolutely bullies my Scarlett, losing only in portability.

As far as sound goes, if you want brighter but grainy sound, AT4040. If you want a smoother but darker sound, WA47jr. WA47jr can be EQ'd brighter if needed and won't sound grainy. As far as what you get for the $299 price tag, WA47jr is better. You get more features and accessories for your money.

@@subtonic24 ohh thanks for response my question I buy WA47jr good look and I follow you :D

@@felipeicr847 You're welcome! And thank you very much! I really appreciate it 😊

@@subtonic24 What do you think about the Sennheiser mk4 ?

@@rubenn7212 I have no experience with the MK4. I'd love to try that mic and the MK8 someday.

Nice! I haven't tried MXL or Lauten mics, but I've used a KSM32 before.

Yup I agree. Either one of these will work. Just depends on what sound profile you are going for, or which sound fits the source best. Thanks for watching!

Go with the warm it sounds more professional and will get you better results in the end it handles eq better and doesn’t have a spitty top end! You can add high end to the 47 and achieved the same clarity while having a natural sounding low end!

​@@mixedbygip8938thanks heaps

Warm Audio WA47jr

I recently orderd the Clone of the U47 from GotoToolz GT47 i havent received it yet but i wanted to add more mics for my podcast how . I'll give u an update as it comes. That mic looks cool Warm Audio WA47jr (ill look around for one ) How do u like it ? pros cons @@subtonic24

The WA47 has a tube circuit inside, a transformer, and a bigger body size. All of those things contribute to the sound of the mic and cannot be replicated by EQ'ing the 47jr. The difference you hear is the transformerless circuit of the 47jr vs the tube & transformer circuit of the WA47 (both mics have the exact same capsule, but the circuits inside are different). If you want that more "round" 47 sound, you have to get the WA47, or any other tube U47 clone.

@@subtonic24thanks man btw can i ask if wa-47jr sound round enough to your ears or it's lacking?

@@zachpitt9249 Sounds round enough to my ears, but it's not about my ears. It's about your ears since you'll be the one using it. Does it sound round enough to you?

@@subtonic24 it's round enough to me btw have you try using wa 47jr on rappers and pop singers modern songs that requires crispy vocals?

@@zachpitt9249 I haven't used it on a rapper yet. I've used it on pop, EDM, and a pop rock female vocal. No complaints here, especially the rock vocal! She has a bright thin voice and the WA47jr made her voice sound thicc lol

Yes it can be good for hamonica.

@@subtonic24 Thank you so much 🙏🙏

Lol yes it is 🤣
