@@SanjayC You could probably use that mic to make a chorus type effect with the room reverb... Record someone singing or playing something close, then record again gradually moving back, repeat a few times in different directions/distances and then layer the final result. I like the look of the folding keyboard too!
Thinking of you and Dharti! As for the mic, I don’t like it as much as the normal one you use. This one felt thin and too airy. Almost like it was doing adaptive eq in an over the top way the entire time. Maybe I’m just used to your voice on the other mic. But I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing your voice in person over the years and this mic you were demoing didn’t represent it correctly.
I learned today that Melodyne has a levelling feature, when used on vocals significantly evens out the recording. Acts a bit like a vocal riding compressor? It works well.
Continued prayers for Dharti from So Cal! I'd love to have something like the MidiPlus when travelling (like next weekend. lol). I like that it folds up to fit into a carry-on. The company is on Amazon, but that particular ikeyboard is not. Any suggestions for a portable 25-key controller that works and has transport capabilities with Ableton and Studio One? Have a Push 3 but it is too big. lol
Nice one Sanjay I like the keyboard especially as the white keys are longer than most other small controllers very well thought out however the high angle is gimmicky unless you can adjust it to less of a steep angle. Another ob synth well it better be dramatically better than the many alternatives as you can only have so many of that sound and so far not many get to the real guts of the oBX Any news on the Audio interface front ? Many thanks
Ray mic tech is cool, but needs some work. As you moved away the room echo went up, but it's a first version, and the price is right, so it's still decent. The folding keyboard is pretty darn cool to travel with. Blessings up for Dharti ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡
Sanjay you should get the circuit drums as it is available for free for only today and also the stings library that fracture sounds put out from their blueprint series both of them are great but circuit drums will only be free for today so guys get it from crow hill company
Sanjay I tuned in been way for a bit bruh, seen you were doing this by yourself & was wondering where your other half was. Im sorry to see dharti in the hospital, tell her I wish her a speedy recovery.. wow your a real trooper the show must go on lewitt said they were coming with a revolutionary microphone. nice Kinna wish I would of thought of that. sounded nice.. don't want to take up to much of your time you have a lot on your plate.. wishing you & dart the very best.. Tony
I think for what it does that "Aura" mike does a very decent job. You can clearly hear tho when you move away from the microphone you get a more "room" sound but it keeps the level and frequency sound fairly in line. It's interesting for I'd say mostly youtubers and podcasters that tend to move around a bit when doing a show. I don't think i would use the processing for a vocal recording session without seeing a more technical analysis what the processing actually does to the phase an frequenciy curve from different angles and distances
You my brother, have such a beautiful disposition, I watched all the way...and yes i hit the like and subscribe buttons. Prayers to you Dharti...Scrolling through your other videos now...GOD's Speeeeeeeed!
AS you back away, room reverb is apparent. Closer does a decent job of cutting boom, but still obviously compressing. Overall, nice try. Better than the average dumb mic. BTW, 20-20K +/- what? For voice, not so important. For acoustics, noise from elbows on the table etc., important.
Aura is garbage… You push and pull the flow from a Mic to control the dynamics of singing. I have a deep chest and stupidly loud naturally, so when I hit high or get aggressive I gotta pull away from the mic. For podcasting fine, but title of vid is Music Gadgets.
My go-to effect when working with vocals is hands down the Valhalla Supermassive by Valhalla DSP. It is just so nice sounding and mostly it is free and it does not have any audio dropouts
@@SanjayC Yes, I also use ValhallaDelay, ValhallaShimmer and ValhallaSpaceModulator but these plugins have audio dropouts so I use them less, but there are situations where I use them
Bro can you please do a review of the best vocal processors (hardware) out there for live performance... with vocal effects, harmony's, doubling, choir, echo and delays
That keyboard seems to be really cheaply made and is really noisy in its operation, (like the clicking of buttons and the keybed). I reckon that it's worth nowhere near the asking price, (in US $s).
Sanjay won't lie just started watching you brother and thank you for your perfect content. You and a few out their are really a blessing to a person like me. Thank you good sir 💫🙏🏾
I don't wanna be rude, but you have obviously no clue about acoustics. Of course you can hear a difference when you're far away from this mic. And Of course the color of your voice changes the more diffusive you get ...
Who heard 11000 and thought that was dollars. second price sounds more right Bob. That mic is great, there was no change in the volume or tone of your voice when you moved back and forth.
The mic is getting rid of proximity effect, it won’t work as well in a reflective room because it’s getting second reflections before or during your initial sound.
QOTW: Most of the time, I make instrumental music, thus vocals don’t play that much of a role. That said, I have more often than not used some kind of reverb on them. FabFilter: can’t go wrong with Pro-Q, Pro-C, Pro-L [and yes I know there are numbers]. Then you have Saturn if you like saturation. Soundtoys: yes, I’ve been using these for a while 😁. I did try AI-Loudener last week - thanks for the code - and it is quite impressive. I may even employ this in my own work.
Hmmm, the Lewitt Aura effect is good but the mic seems pretty sharp on sibilance. The V-Board is very cool, I like the mix of controls and the bluetooth capability in particular.
Hi from HongKong I saw midi plus couple months ago. As a traveller I really like idea even I get excited However when I try it... Feeling of keys was so bad, knobs,, you cant hold. Other futures are so good but also big ... So korg nano series must be better and convinient
The Realistic Concert Mate was the first synth I ever played when I was still in school, from Radio Shack. It was a full-featured mono synth and a limited poly mode (don't forget to tune it!). They're actually pretty expensive to buy used now (almost $1k last I checked Reverb), probably because no one really valued them much back then so there aren't many left. Great that there's a VSTi version.
With the Aura thing, the level was quite consistent as if you had a heavy compressor on the output. However, the balance of reflections and room tone to the dry, direct sound of your voice can be heard to change very readily.
it picks up more room ambience as you back away, so that's a change, but any mic would do that. there's a little bit of proximity warmth up close, but the volume was pretty consistent
Ray seems really great for content creators. The only difference I heard while you were moving around was more room sound when you were further away. 👍
I tend to lean twords a simple delay, single repeat for singing since the repeat itself has a sort of a "Doubling" effect. I also depending on the preamp and Mic tend to add a slight bit of around 300hz to my vocal to give it a bit more tone and thickness. BUt i am a amatuer so, i dont know wtf i am doing :-0
My go to secret weapon for vocal processing is a little bit of reverb to hide the weakness at the start and end of whatever verse I'm singing, as well as the most important weapon, to record the part over and over and over again until it sounds right. :D Hiya Sanjay, great video.
Maybe a good de-verb and back noise remover switch/option on the Ray Mic would make pretty tempting for home studio beginners in particular and maybe throw in a real time AI voice changer and auto-tune as well for good measure :D . I like to side chain reverb and add a compressor after to mess around with the reverb can sounds cool in the right track.
